Jamila & Noah
November 14, 2021

This wedding, where can I begin?! Jamila and I, like all of our sweet brides, hit it off right away from our first consult! Covid hit right after booking so our planning season like so many others last year was full of conversations about planning, re-planning, game-planning, and then planning again!

Jamila might have had some of the biggest transitions of all of our brides last year! More than just a covid-impacted guest list, Jamila & Noah navigated changing venues, changing catering, changing style and theme entirely, in addition to navigating new work-from-home schedules, a new job, two puppies, and more! And yet, Jamila and I’s conversations were always surrounded with excitement, laughter, and JOY! This girl keeps perspective unlike any other and by the time her wedding day came, it was truly bittersweet for us to see our planning come together, and then conclude at the end of the night!

Jamila & Noah, I can’t believe your wedding day was 4 months ago this weekend! I hope you two continue to celebrate and navigate life with all the positivity and joy you brought to your wedding day, our planning season, and more! We wish you every happiness, and can’t wait to see you BOTH again soon!

Real Wedding

Brittney & Pietro
October 11, 2020

It’s the week of LOVE and I am so excited to share this wedding with you because not only does it involve the cutest pup, but let me tell you, sparks flew! Literally.

Brittney had a vision for this day from the moment she booked, and let me tell you, it was gorgeous, and she stuck to it! Bringing their families together around a gorgeous outdoor, creek-side ceremony followed by an amazing cocktail hour under a patio (with an amazing Italian spread), complete with a beautiful reception, amazing desserts, and dancing the night away!

Rain plans are a funny thing. We always have one (or two or three) depending on the time we make the call, and this one we held out to the last minute for our bride and it TOTALLY was worth it! The ceremony and cocktail hour were still able to be outside, and ALL the credit goes to our brave bride who knew the right thing to do was wait. The rain did come, and let me tell you we were all soaked during breakdown, but as you’ll see below, it was 100% worth it!

Brittney & Pietro, it was SO fun re-living your wedding day today, we wish you ALL the best and send you all our love! Especially with the best GIFTS on the way! Cheers to you both!

And, be sure to give this AMAZING vendor team a shout and a follow!

Styled Shoot

January 3, 2021 By Erin Bacon

Summer 2020

In the Spring of 2020 (you know the one I’m talking about, when the world changed and wedding vendors weren’t sure which way was up!), I took a leap of faith on a sweet friend and with some extra time & office hours on hand, invested in Renee Nicolo Group Coaching! I learned SO many great business tools, tricks, and efforts that not only serve my business well – but connected with amazing fellow vendors, all trying to do the same thing! A couple of months later, those connections became LIVE as we put our talents together and created the most beautiful Late Summer’s Dream Styled Shoot at Cairnwood Estate!

Morgan approached me to join her on this shoot, which was the greatest compliment ever! She had the eye and the vision, and this one was truly my pleasure to help bring to life. Masks on and distancing efforts in place, we had Cairnwood Estate to ourselves for the day for a small group of highly talented wedding vendors to safely come in and let our work speak for itself. This Styled Shoot was about more than the pretty colors and theme (which you are about to fall in love with!) – it was a moment for all of us creatives to get out of our offices, away from our computers, and just be in a venue, in a place, where we could bring a touch of wedding magic to life! There was no better way to kick off our 2020 wedding season, a little later than planned but still better than ever!
