Hello!

This past September, I had the incredible privilege of designing and coordinating the wedding of a pretty challenging couple. Don’t get me wrong, this bride and groom were absolutely adorable and a pleasure to work with, but they also knew their stuff, knew what they wanted, and most importantly knew that the stuff they wanted was a tad different, very thought-through, and very them.

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 Chin Photography

Huppah: The Canopy Company

Furniture: Sofa To Go

Lighting: Kloda

Flowers: Alain Simon Fleurs

Food: Chez L’Epicier

Cakes: Luisa Galuppo Cakes

Cake pops: Sophie Sucrée

Owning and running a business is so exciting for a multi-tasker like me! On any given day, I get to play designer, personal assistant, accountant, product manager… You name it, I most likely do it.

I love being hands-on in every aspect of my business, and so I’m guessing that a good part of Unity Weddings actually reflects me as a person. So I’ll share a little secret with you: I am all about change. Stagnation scares the jivvies out of me. I randomly change my hair color, my nails, even sometimes my friends (though not very often). I move around the furniture in my apartment very regularly (I think my neighbors don’t really like me for that). If I had the time, I’d repaint my walls every so often too.

Change is refreshing. It brings about a sense of freedom and curiosity. It also brings about more change, which is what I love. Every time I change the layout of my office, a new client coincidentally calls. I swear, it’s true.

And since my business reflects me, you guessed it, we’re all for a little bit of change every so often. I mean, the philosophy behind our services doesn’t change, and neither does the quality of the service we offer. But I think that getting a “face-lift” from time to time is refreshing.

My latest craze? The logo. Let me say it again: THE LOGO. I’ve been perusing thousands of possibilities lately, mainly to get inspirations for invitations I’m designing. And since I obviously can’t stay focused on just that, I’ve decided to redesign my logo as well.

After a lot of trial and error, as well as a lot of effort to try and come up with something that doesn’t look like any other wedding planner’s logo, I’ve stopped at these four:

My favorite ones are the two bottom ones, by I just can’t. make. up. my. mind. Ugh! I want something that is timeless and elegant. Something that says “hello, we are friendly” as well as “yes, we do charge that fee, and we totally deserve it”. I want something that appeals to a fun, fashion-forward, creative bride.

What do you think? The polls are officially open, so please go ahead and leave me a comment. I know that re-branding is often kept secret until its unveiling, but I feel like this one deserves some voting. I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!
