of romance and apple blossoms

Hello! Well, since I’m sitting here on vacation, I’m playing catch up on all the weddings I haven’t had the chance to blog about yet… Lily and Alex came to me from New York City with the vision of a romantic wedding in an apple orchard. They also really wanted this orchard to be on Île d’Orléans, which was where Alex had taken Lily shortly after they had started dating. So, after a first trip to the island to find the perfect orchard; another trip to the island to find the perfect spot on the perfect orchard; a trip to New York where Lily and I got very decently drunk; and a wedding day setup that began at dawn and left me covered in dust ...

Hey hey! In my line of work, I get all sorts of clients. Some brides are lovely, some are a little less. Some are very picky, and some are very easy-going. Some are creative and some have no clue when it comes to what they like. And then, there are brides like Annalie. Let me tell you, this girl has got it going on!

Hello! This past September, I had the incredible privilege of designing and coordinating the wedding of a pretty challenging couple.

This lovely couple has requested that all vendors involved respect their privacy, which I very much admire given the intimate nature of a wedding. So, without giving them or any of their guests away, here are my very favorite detail shots from this affair. And the incredibly talented lineup of peeps for this wedding was… Venue: Parisian Laundry Photography: Tim ...

Hello, hello! So, my hands are kinda shaky as I’m typing this up, because I’m about to share something oh-so-exciting. As most of you know by now, Azar from Principal Planner and I are good friends. We spend so much time {and coffee} gabbing entire nights away -obviously about weddings, and decor, and flowers- that we finally decided “hey, why don’t we design something together?” Not a lot of people are as lucky as we are. Being creative in life and actually being able to make a living out of it is a blessing of its own, but getting to collaborate with someone you think is genius? Now that’s just perfection. So, after a particularly caffeinated night, and with the help of some paper and ...

my midnight diy project

Hello, I recently inherited a beautiful Ikea Ung Drill frame from my brother. Which is awesome. But I already had one, and I live/work in the tiniest of lofts. Which means that wherever you look, you can see both at the same time {and they weren’t hanging side by side like common sense would dictate}. So I came home late last night from a creative brainstorming session, and decided to do something about it.
