Oh, how I loved working with Michelle + the whole TWL team on this vintage romantic wedding last season. Michelle came to me with a gorgeous color scheme of soft pinks + greys along with lace and metallic accents.

Every season I get a handful of inquiries about essentially copying a design a potential client has seen somewhere else. It’s not an uncommon occurrence in my line of work, but it brings up a broader issue that plagues us all as creative professionals. Where is the line between inspiration + copy? We now live in the […]
In this post I talked about self-reflection, and thinking about all the excitement to come for 2014. But the biggest piece of joy for 2014 I was keeping under wraps….until now.

Today I’m excited to finally share our Renaissance-inspired wedding styled shoot, recently featured in WellWed Hamptons Magazine. This past February I worked with Ashley Douglass and a bunch of talented vendors to bring this concept to life.

Today I’m sharing some day-of paper details from one of our gorgeous fall weddings at Hopkins Vineyard. This one was a great collaboration with Amy Champagne Events, and was beautifully captured by BSC Photo! Amy had these great vintage-looking frames that we paired with chalkboard-inspired table numbers. And the team at Fleurescent never disappoints with […]
A few days ago someone said this to me, and I’ve been coming back to it all weekend…so much so I decided to whip up a little graphic for it.A lot of people ask me how I juggle this business, a full-time job, and the rest of life. I usually respond with 2 points: One […]
