Fall Weddings

You know when you meet a couple and instantly think, these two are just meant to be together? That was exactly how I felt when I met Emma and Riley. These two are the definition of two peas in a pod! Their relationship just fits in the most effortless, natural way, and honestly, isn't that exactly how love should feel? And then Riley went and wrote and performed a song just for his new bride. I mean… COME ON! 😭 Is that not every girl's dream?! To make the day even sweeter, t

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

Five years later, and this love story deserved its moment! When Hannah first reached out about planning a surprise celebration for her husband Doug; I knew it was going to be something special. Like so many couples, their original wedding plans were shaped by the uncertainty of COVID, leading them to cancel their wedding plans at the time. This past Fall marked their five year anniversary and it felt like the perfect opportunity to honor their marriage and love story. Doug un

Wedding Wednesday! I am so behind on my blogging game and once again I'm making a commitment to myself to catch up on all the 2024 events that didn't get blogged when they should have been. First up, Jocelyn and Donny's big day at Acquaviva Vineyard and Winery! These two are the cutest together and all their simplistic, modern black and white touches are totally my jam. I remember Jocelyn asking me if she should go with black bridesmaid dresses or something else and I voted b

I feel like it's a little ironic that Etta James' "At Last" just started playing for my background work music as I'm sharing Brandy and Tanner's wedding day. Just like that song; these two have a classic love that I know will stand the test of time for many years to come. I really enjoyed getting to know these two and being apart of their wedding day. I know that there is so much adventure ahead for them as they journey through life as husband and wife. Their wedding day star

Curt and Chase are not just any couple, but rather THE couple! These two light up a room when they enter and are more than just a wedding I helped plan and design, because they are family. I was so honored that they trusted me to not only be apart of the wedding, but also help bring their special day all together. I was on several duties for wedding day; bridesmaid, boy mom, and wedding planner. Knowing Curt since he was 15 years old made it feel like the little brother I nev

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

FINALLY!!!! I think Taylor and Brian's cake topper says it all, although they may have used a little more french in their topper verbiage than I did! LOL These two are not only so perfect together, but they are also SO patient! Ain't no COVID stopping their party. Planning a Chicago wedding from California isn't easy, but these two managed to pull it off with their closest friends and family. Originally planned for November of 2020; Taylor and Brian had to push things back an

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

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 the "first prayer" to the "first dance" as husband and wife; everyone was feeling the emotions that day. Kristin and Kyle's wedding was another example that Covid can't stop love! It may

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

SO WHO ELSE WAS DRUMMING UP THEIR FALL DECOR ALREADY BACK IN AUGUST? LOL Let's face it - we all were dying to put out our pumpkins and Fall candles, which is why I decided to host my first macamé workshop in the Des Moines area.
