New year, new bling! Congratulations to all the ne

New year, new bling! Congratulations to all the newly engaged couples. For those who are considering hiring a planner, I encourage you to keep in mind three key components when exploring options:
.
1. Connection. It’s imperative you feel a solid level of comfort. Not just “oh, they’re nice” but rather a sense of utter confidence and trust that whoever you contract has exceptional talent, can and will deliver on every promise...and then some.
.
2. Investment. Yes, it’s our job to educate and advise on which areas of celebration your dollars will generate the most value and impact. However, it’s imperative that you have an idea of guest count and total budget prior to making any calls. This will allow us to manage expectations as to what your investment may cover.
.
3. Experience. Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Inquire about qualifications, best practices, communication preferences, etc. Does their portfolio reflect an aesthetic you admire or at least demonstrate a range in design? Do they have strong resources and the ability to connect you with top talent?
.
Lots to consider! Not one size fits all. Trust your gut and once an agreement has been made, let go of the reigns and enjoy the process. Happy planning friends!

There is so much about this image to love but just

There is so much about this image to love but just a few thoughts I’d like to share:
.
1. Documentation is key- choose wisely! Investing in a seasoned photographer and cinematographer to capture all the beautiful moments of your special day is of paramount importance. Always a pleasure working with the highly talented @zevfisherphotography and @huxley_film.
.
2. We strongly encourage using a separate space (other than the wedding suite) for hair and makeup while getting ready with your girls. We will discuss beforehand who you’d like to have in the room when putting on your dress. Keep it limited- maybe a parent, sibling and/or Maid/Matron of honor. This gives you time to absorb the sanctity of the day and enjoy a quiet moment before ceremony.
.
3. Just before this image was taken, there had been bright blue lights projected from First Night Boston shining directly into the Suite. One of the cinematographers ran down and after some negotiation, the city’s production team cut the light for the eight minutes needed to get these portrait shots. Whatever it takes! We will get it done.
.
4. On a personal note, my favorite part of this image is the look of a proud mother gazing at her daughter with bright, glistening eyes and a very happy heart. These are the moments that mean most.

“There is great purpose behind passion. Pursue it with everything you have.” From the moment we started load-in @fairmontcopley, I felt butterflies. The kind that puts every fiber of your being on notice that something major is about to happen. When opening boxes of chargers and laying linen quite literally feels like Christmas morning. There were moments the ballroom was flooded with service people sharing in the excitement and others when it was just a few of us working in silent splendor, fixated on perfecting our craft. Watching nearly two years of planning this New Years Eve celebration come together in pieces, exceeding all expectations and bringing everyone immense joy.

My passion for planning & design is two fold. First, there is nothing more rewarding then making a difference and having a positive impact on the lives we touch. To be invited into one of the most coveted chapters of a couples story and entrusted to help deliver a dream. And second, to share in the common bond of like-minded creatives and hospitality professionals who live to serve and deliver only their very best. I am blessed to work alongside some of Boston’s premier talent.
•
•
While the scope and intricacies of every event differs, the one constant that will never falter is the amount of heart I put into my work. Thank you @matt2ten for capturing this proud moment.

Ready. To. Rock. Nearly two years planning togethe

Ready. To. Rock. Nearly two years planning together with thoughtful decisions made to every detail, we can’t wait to watch the all magic unfold for this couple on New Years Eve! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the best part of my position are the friendships formed along the way. I am so incredibly grateful to know and have spent time with Cara and John during this exciting chapter. It’s bittersweet to be closing a memorable 2019 while also kicking off the new decade celebrating a couple who mean so much to me. Fired up for all that’s to come for them and in 2020!

There is something so absolutely magnificent about winter weddings in Boston. The lights. The quiet walkways. The feeling of it being chilly outside yet experiencing a wonderful warmth within. This image says it all...and so much more! Love.

2. The bride. @lamq6 who is as beautiful inside as she is out.
3. The impeccable eye and talent of @leahhaydockphotography who never misses a beat and tells the most exquisite stories through her lens.

Ok - now back to the #repost. Check out Christina’s take on 2020 makeup trends👇
.
.
‘The days of smokey eyes are over—at least for now, says Christina Gallardo of Makeup by Christina G. “Brides want to look bright-eyed,” the makeup artist says. “Bronze, champagne, or nude shimmery lids are the best way to make every bride’s eyes sparkle.” To take the look a step further, Gallardo suggests applying a flesh-toned eyeliner to your waterline, too. “This will cancel out the bloodshot look and open the eyes right up. It’s also less harsh than the old-advised white liner,” she explains.’

Thanksgiving is certainly a time to reflect and count our blessings. Truthfully however, my heart if filled with gratitude year round getting to experience authentic moments like these. When we pause from planning & logistics to be fully present and embrace the magnitude of such a major life event - it’s a feeling second to none. So very thankful to the couples who allow me to share in it all!
