Nathaly called me with a panic in her voice this past May and said, "I can't find my planner," and so our relationship began!

​With only a month to plan with them, Nathaly and Angad quickly became one of my all time favorite couples.  

From our first meeting I could immediately tell that not only did they love one another, they ADORED each other. The way they looked at one another was captivating and I wanted to make their two-day wedding something really special.  

Angad and his family are Sikh, which has a separate set of traditions than South Indian cultures. This was my first wedding in this tradition and I learned so much!

There were horses, henna, parades, dancing and an outpouring of love. Although we were blending cultures (Nathaly's family is from Columbia) everyone was ready to celebrate and welcome new members to their international family!

I was so excited to style and plan this wedding! Deanna is self proclaimed "ranchy" (whatever that means) but she was FAR from the ranch on her wedding day!

She was the most beautiful bride, with a handsome groom to match!  

I have to admit, when she asked for deer antlers and pheasant feathers I was a little unsure how I was going to pull it off - but after her inspiration board was complete we were all so excited!

Her father gathered antlers from his past hunting trips to enhance the florals, which looked stunning by the way - don't be scared!!

I just simply adore doing things differently - and I am so thankful for all of my amazing brides who give me a design challenge!  

Ben and Rachael were an amazing couple to work with! I loved every minute of planning their super-styled and oh so boho wedding!  

Rachael wanted to get married at her childhood home - Shadow Oaks located on a quiet road just outside of Sarasota, Fl.  

On the first (of many) site visits, I fell in love! From the winding driveway that led to the home to the mossy oak trees, it was purely enchanting!

Florals were definitely a focus, so instead of draping or an arbor, we took the tree that Rachel used to play in and adorned it with hundreds of blooms. The light hit it perfectly for their ceremony - and the vintage car wasn't a bad touch either!

Cocktail hour was held on the back patio, and guests were welcomed with "Sister's Sangria" - a family favorite!  

Dining was under the cover of a beautiful oak canopy, dressed with crystal chandeliers. The couple opted for a family style dinner, which really added to the family atmosphere of the evening!

They danced the night away with those closest to them - and said goodbye with a kiss under fireworks.  

It could not have been a more perfect beginning for this very special couple.  I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to know them, design for them and be a part of their story!
