Happy Anniversary, Kaylee & Dan!  How has it already been a whole year since these two lovebirds said “I do”?! It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating their beautiful September wedding day! Their outdoor tented wedding was filled with all the moody early-fall vibes, and I was totally here for it. Deep forest green, mustard yellow, burnt orange, and burgundy came together to create a rich, warm, and oh-so-perfect color palette for their big day. The weather couldn’t h

In honor of this weekend’s Bridal Open House at Fishermen’s Inn Elburn, I’m sharing some favorite moments from Aly & Tommy’s summer wedding. A little rustic, a little modern, and a whole lot of romantic! I’ve had the honor of playing a part in every Harner wedding over the past 18 years, and Aly was the last of the crew to tie the knot. Each family wedding has always included a meaningful nod to tradition—whether it was Harner’s Bakery chocolate chip cookies, the famous homem

When your business offers beautiful views and plenty of space; it's only natural that's where you should host your wedding! Kelly and Jarett run Kifcure, a hemp company offering various CBD products. Their September wedding was laid-back, simple, and family/friend focused and took place on the company's grounds and event space called Emerald Acres. I loved helping them bring their vision to life; designing and planning the day. These two are perfect together and it's so fun l

Megan and Robert's Emerald Hill's wedding has Fall vibes all over it! These two were such a pleasure to work with. Their wedding was simple and featured classic touches of black and white. Can we just take a minute to admire the beautiful black center anemone florals that adorned Megan's bouquet and table centerpieces? Cambam Floral always does a great job, and the flowers really bring everything to life. These two held an intimate ceremony with family and friends in the Emer

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 we all moved to new houses, had lots of phone/video calls, survived COVID, and traveled to Colorado for the finishing touches of their big day. What started in Iowa ended up in the mou

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 were supposed to tie the knot earlier in the Spring, but COVID pushed things back. At the end of it all everything turned out and they are now husband and wife. Amazing weather, delic

It was a little bit of boho, a little bit of rustic, and a-whole lot of romance for Natalie and Jay's Summer wedding at Ashley Farms. I loved taking a trip back to the Chicago burbs earlier this Summer to help pull together some pretty details for their special day! As soon as Natalie showed me the boho style glass jars and pampas grass she had picked out for her decor I knew I needed to incorporate the pampas grass detail into her custom vellum dinner menus. I also created
