Beth & Jacob's Modern Black and White Calla Lilly wedding day

Design / Vibe 

Beth and Jacob wanted to keep things elegant & classic by sticking to the black, white, and green color palette but also bring in modern touches! We added arched details, Calla Lillie’s, and a black and white checkered dance floor in a diamond shape! I will forever be obsessed with Calla Lillies after this wedding!

Food/ Drink 

B + J had their first date at Chuy’s Mexican restaurant so it was only fitting they have them cater their wedding! The tacos were just what everyone needed on a hott summer wedding day! As for drink B + J modeled their signature drink after a cocktail they had at Lady Slipper NWA in Bentonville Arkansas. I was able to meet with them at Lady Slipper and we all tried the drink, it was amazing! & I am so glad I was able to try this drink for myself, it was such a sweet experience with them! 

DJ 

Beth and Jacob are huge University of Arkansas fans, of course we bonded over this!

The two had to have DJ Derrick, The University of Arkansas Dj, as their Dj! He does all the pep rallies & sporting events and was even the DJ for the SEC men’s basketball tournament in Nashville this year! 


360 Photo Booth

A fun twist on the typical Photo Booth! B + J had a 360 booth which the guest LOVED!! Check out some videos below. After the wedding B + J get an album of all the videos and it is such a sweet way to look back on your wedding day & all the people who came to celebrate!


The Dress 

In order to get to the dress we have to start with the PJs which were SO cute! The pearls on Beth’s robe foreshadowed the pearls in her veil, which I have really been loving lately. I’ll always be so jealous of Beth’s hair!! She has it curled perfectly and tucked behind her ears in the most simple modern hairstyle that fit the dress perfectly. I couldn’t have dreamt it up better myself! 

I hadn’t seen Beth’s dress before the wedding day and when she walked down the stairs from the bridal suite I knew Jacob was going to love it. Beth looked absolutely stunning with the sweet heart neckline and off the shoulder sleeves, the mermaid silhouette fit Beth like a perfect glove! 


I had been looking forward to this day since the moment B + J asked me to be their wedding planner and it definitely lived up to the hype. I am very thankful to have been apart of such a beautiful modern black and white wedding day!

Adele & Blake's Nancy Meyer's Wedding Celebration

January 8, 2024
Design & Vibe: When Adele and I first met she told me she wanted a 1950’s Nancy Meyer’s wedding. She wanted black and white modern with a touch of that old money vintage style feel. This was music to my ears let me tell you! The wedding was held at the old Muehlbach hotel ballroom, the old wing of the Marriott hotel in downtown KC. With this being an older venue it was perfect for that old money vintage feel. Guests were transferred into a 1950’s wedding day as they entered the black and white penny tiled ballroom with dark deep wooden walls and pillars as Frank Sinatra played throughout the space. One of the many things Adele and I have in common is our love for Taylor Swift, as the guests entered they were greeted with a gold vintage mirror seating chart with the lyrics “ and at every table I’ll save you a seat” hand written by one of her amazing bridesmaids! As for our table design Adele went with mostly white florals with pops of light blue mixed in. A mix of tall and short arrangements gave dimension to an already stunning room!! Gold chivari chairs were brought in to add to the vintage feel & of course we made sure all tables had votive candles to add to the romantic feel of the ballroom.

St. Louis Children's Hospital Table Top Event

May 2, 2023
Each year the St. Louis Children’s Hospital Foundation puts on a luncheon to thank the community for all their support and donations to the hospital’s programs. Each year the organization reaches out to local designers to create a table top design for the luncheon. This year the theme for the luncheon was “childhood memories” & designers are allowed to design any table top that goes along with that theme! I created an ISpy table scape based off the famous ISpy books! As you may remember, ISpy books all had different themes so I chose to do an outdoor theme- kind of as a 2nd theme for the childhood memories since I grew up playing outside with my neighborhood friends every day! Check out my table below captured by the lovely Maggie Adams ! (& don't forget to keep an eye out for the Arkansas tribute;))
