OUR PHILOSOPHY and design approach

Successful wedding and event design is rooted in intentional details and unique design stories.

We believe everything from the florals, to the linens, to your wardrobes, to the cuisine all have a part to play in telling the story of your wedding or event.

Experiences are in the details.

We believe

OUR PHILOSOPHY and design approach

I'm so glad you have found us! I bring a whole lot of color and calm vibes to planning weddings (although, you'll find me always wearing black and double-checking timelines) in New Jersey, New York City and the surrounding tri-state area. 

Finding the right planner is paramount. How do you know if I'm the right planner for you? Check out our values below and learn more about us further down.

Our Story From The Beginning

We aim to anticipate your needs, set expectations and take care of details before they cross your mind. We're a team you can trust to translate, create and execute your vision. Wedding planning is more than booking vendors and managing logistics. It’s about having someone as excited for the moment as you. We'll be an advocate for you, an experienced friend who you can trust to  guide you in the best direction. 

You care about style over trends, love color, and want personal touches that represent your story.
