I’m warming up your bitter cold Wednesday with a Summer wedding that was one of my favs! I absolutely loved working with Diana and Jonathan for their winery wedding at Acquaviva Winery in Maple Park. These two are the sweetest couple and had the perfect weather to say their I Do’s in the vineyard. Post […]

Third times a charm for Lauren and Jalen! These two had not only one, but three separate locations where they were originally going to tie the knot. It’s crazy how life has plans and everything works out for the best. L+J originally were planning on hosting a family and friend celebration on their property in […]

Lauren and Jalen – where do I even start?! I had the pleasure of working with these two, plus their amazing families for over two years. I don’t consider them clients, but rather family. They put so much trust in me to pull their vision together and I felt so honored. During their planning time […]

There’s so many great things I could say about Kenan and Cui, but this blog post would go on for days! I was honored that they wanted me to handle their wedding planning and design process to create their special day. These two are the most humble, generous, and kind hearted souls you will ever […]

So many doubled up weekends, lots of last minute planners, but also tons of beautiful couples and weddings! I haven’t blogged in quite some time, so I wanted to […]

It’s here! Valentine’s weekend is officially kicking off and I just love LOVE! It’s bitter cold in the Midwest and I’m thinking a romantic at-home dinner and couch snuggles are in order all weekend. Valentine’s Day is always a hot day for engagements, so I thought it would be fun to create a winter Valentine […]

Earthy, romantic, and unique….these are the words Kristin used the first time we met to describe how she wanted her special day to look when she said ‘I Do’ to Kyle. The moment these two locked eyes they knew they were meant for each other and it so clearly shows in their wedding day. From […]

Katie and Brian couldn’t have chosen a more unique space to host their Fall wedding – Boxed and Burlap is definitely a new fav. From the quaint and cozy coffee shop to the large white reception barn; there are so many nooks and crannies for guests to wander and explore during an event. These two […]

A little boho babe made his way into the world earlier this Fall and I was so excited to have the opportunity to create a custom macramé backdrop for his mama’s baby shower. Sweet honey bee details made this shower a must-see! PHOTOGRAPHY: BROOKE PAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY // VENUE: EMERALD HILLS // MACRAME DESIGN: MIDWEST MEETS […]
