Wedding Inspiration

Jackie And Julien Were One Of Those Rare Couples Who Knew Exactly What They Wanted From The Very Beginning—and Weren’t Afraid To Go After It. Young, Stylish, And Incredibly Intentional, They Envisioned A Wedding That Felt Deeply Personal, Boldly Expressive, And Far From Anything Expected. From Our Very First Conversation, It Was Clear: This Wouldn’t Be A Traditional Luxury Wedding. It Would Be Something Far More Distinctive.together, We Crafted A Design Concept That Revolved Around Individuality And Fearless Color. Every Detail Was Thoughtfully Curated To Reflect Their Personality—from An Unconventional Palette Of Warm, Vibrant Hues To The Smallest Design Choices, Like The Typography Of The Menus, Brought To Life With Bright, Unexpected Tones. Nothing Was Left To Chance, And Every Element Contributed To A Cohesive And Striking Visual Story.one Of The Most Talked-about Features Of The Celebration Was The Statement Dance Floor: A Bold White And Olive Green Checkered Design That Instantly Set The Tone For The Evening. It Became The Heart Of The Party—playful, Stylish, And Undeniably Unique.behind The Sweetheart Table, A Custom Projection Added A Deeply Emotional Layer To The Experience. Throughout The Night, A Curated Loop Of Memories Played Softly In The Background—moments Jackie And Julien Had Shared Over The Years, Not Only With Each Other, But With Every Single Guest Present. It Was Intimate, Nostalgic, And Incredibly Powerful.and Then There Was The Ceiling. A Stunning Drapery Installation, Enhanced With Subtle Led Lighting Along The Edges, Transformed The Entire Space. It Created An Atmosphere That Felt Both Elegant And Immersive, Adding Depth, Warmth, And A Modern Edge To The Setting.at Garza Blanca Cancun, A Venue Already Known For Its Refined Aesthetic, This Wedding Pushed Boundaries In The Most Beautiful Way. It Was Vibrant, Elevated, And Unapologetically Bold—a True Reflection Of Jackie And Julien, And A Celebration That Proved Luxury Can Be Expressive, Daring, And Full Of Personality.

When Wedding Planning Gets Real -let’s Be Honest: Wedding Planning Is Magical… Until It’s Not. Between Guest Lists, Budgets, Opinions, And Timelines, Sometimes The Only Productive Response Is A Deep Breath And A Well-placed “fck This.”* These Ready-to-ship Post-itu00ae Notes Are A Lighthearted Way To Laugh Through The Chaos And Keep Going Anyway. Stick One On A To-do List, Planner, Or Laptop And Give Yourself Permission To Pause, Reset, And Remember That The End Goal Is Marrying Your Person—not Perfection.

** Gorgeous Venue Alert** The Abbey Of San Pietro In Valle Is Situated Halfway Up Mount Solenne, Alongside The Valnerina Road Which Runs From Ferentillo Towards Cascia. Built In The 8th Century, The Monastery, Now Privately Owned, Has Been Renovated And Hosts Travelers. It Is Also An Incredible Wedding Venue. ✨ The Benedictine Abbey Of San Pietro In Valle Is Among The Main Examples Of High-medieval Art In Central Italy. It Is Breath Taking. Gorgeous. Special. And Was One Of The Coolest Places I Have Ever Had To The Opportunity To Work. @abbaziasanpietroinvalle Mille Grazie A Federica Per Tutto L’aiuto E Supporto Che Ci Ha Dato!!

When An Incredibly Stylish, Super Laid Back Bride Asked For A “chic Dinner Party” Vibe For Her Reception, We Could Not Wait To Dive In. Pops Of Floral In Shades Of White, Nudes And Greens Galore, Topped Off With Candlelight Everywhere And Sweet Little Details Made This Intimate Celebration One Of My Faves This Year.
