Mallory and Jesse wanted an eco-friendly wedding at Zigbone Farm Retreat in Sabillasville, MD, with a peachy, coral-y palette that had a casual wildflower vibe to go with their venue. Zigbone is an eco-friendly farm with historic buildings, farm animals, gorgeous mountain views and space for all sorts of gatherings! Mallory first got in touch […]

It’s time to let go – and trust your florist to do their best work. Recently, I’ve been talking with a lot of my colleagues about what their business will look like next year (you know, when maybe, possibly, weddings might be happening, and we might be kind of sort of, “back to normal”).  Some […]

When Britt got in touch with me, she had a super creative and unique vision for her wedding.  She said she wanted a luxurious party in a venue that felt like it had been there forever.  She wanted rich burgundy and dusty pink tones with wispy, ethereal greenery and natural earthy textures and she wanted […]

The VisArts Center in Rockville, MD is a super-cool, modern venue that I got to decorate for the first time.  Artist studios and gallery exhibitions welcome guests into a modern ballroom with floor to ceiling windows.  My favorite part was the rooftop ceremony site overlooking Rockville Town Center.  I loved bringing the soft touch of […]

Wanna know a secret?

On Mother’s Day Weekend, I was part of a volunteer design team for the 106th First Lady’s Luncheon, hosted by the Congressional Club.  Each year the Congressional Club hosts a bi-partisan luncheon in honor of the First Lady to benefit a charity (or charities) of her choice.  This year’s luncheon benefited Lily’s Place, in Huntington, […]

So often, I get inquiries from clients who have really big and beautiful plans for their wedding….. and absolutely NO idea what those big plans will cost.  And why should they??
