Whoa… April?  Yeah, April.  I missed a couple months, but let’s just get back on track… April has been non-stop prepping for wedding season.  The season seems to extend each year and I’m certainly not complaining!  What the ‘busy’ season means for most wedding vendors is saying ‘goodbye’ to free time and constantly moving to […]

Jessica and Jay hired me to help design and coordinate their 6.20.10 wedding in Rochester, Minnesota.  I instantly fell in love with Jessica’s charisma and her adorable Southern accent.  She and her now husband moved here to work in the medical field and wanted to create a wedding that would be fun and welcoming to […]

If you need to check out part I of Rachel and Eduardo’s wedding, go here.  Then enjoy part II! Rachel and Eduardo had a custom tree created by Kelly of  Ekcetera that was inspired from a friend’s illustration and an art piece they found.  We used that tree as a symbol of family and growth […]
