Today. New beginnings. Hope. God bless America! 🇺🇸

Too beautiful not to repost the impactful design of @frontrunnerprod @heyliipfert .

There were no crowds at the Capitol for President Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday. Instead, there was a sea of 200,000 flags placed on the National Mall, representing the people who could not be there because of the pandemic that has killed more than 400,000 Americans. The streets of Washington were filled not with revelers, but with 25,000 National Guard troops deployed to prevent a repeat of the riot former President Donald Trump incited at the Capitol two weeks ago.

Compelling how our lives can be shared in chapters

Compelling how our lives can be shared in chapters. These life defining moments, often surreal that are hard to describe and can only be felt. His heart pulsing knee drop, her eyes glazed with happy tears...their start to forever. What an honor for us to play a small part in this love story.

Monday. All systems go.

Detailing for 2021, assembling teams for 2022 and navigating all the continued changes around COVID. So much still to be unveiled.

The high demand for select event partners is like nothing I’ve ever seen. Beyond cross-checking calendar availability, we must also take into consideration state restrictions, limited inventory and varying contractual terms around postponements.

To all the newly engaged couples and those planning current celebrations, it’s imperative to identify vendors of interest now and move quickly to contract.

Things are ever-changing. Keeping our finger on the pulse, adapting to market demands and having the ability to adjust on a dimes notice is critical to ensuring the success of our upcoming events...both for 2021 and well into 2022.

Preparing for the first Monday of the year with co

Preparing for the first Monday of the year with considerable thought. The next several months will be interesting as we watch with high anticipation the positive effects of vaccination, gradual decrease of Covid cases and loosened state restrictions for gatherings — all of which the timing still unknown.

In many ways it still feels like the waiting game. I’m reminded that while my MO is to have key dates scheduled well in advance for design and floral prototype meetings, menu tastings and production overviews — much of the country is still operating in a limited, virtual capacity. The threat of pandemic is still very real.

With that said, my 2021 motto can be summarized in a few short words “trust the process and adjust accordingly.” One skill we’ve mastered is the ability to re-engineer an entire event within weeks. So while not everything may be scheduled exactly within the planned timeline, it will all come together.

We must be patient with each other, especially as venues resume operations and must prioritize immediate events while still working diligently to coordinate both past and present postponements. Community, kindness, patience, faith and lots and lots of heart...working collectively to make this year one of the most extraordinary yet!

Congratulations to the ten KKWE couples who marrie

Congratulations to the ten KKWE couples who married in 2020! I am beyond grateful for your trust, open-mindedness and willingness to navigate such uncertain times together. Humbled to have been part of such authentic, meaningful and heartfelt celebrations. Love always wins.

To our trusted event partners who made these events possible, I’ve never felt more unified. During this challenging year of change, we tapped into innovative thinking and came together to deliver on the unexpected. The height of our accomplishments is determined by the depth of conviction. We dug deep!

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and peaceful new year! Cheers to another exciting year ahead.

A timeless bridal portrait captured by @zevfisherp

A timeless bridal portrait captured by @zevfisherphotography. Beyond the exquisite beauty of both the bride and this image, a few quick notable thoughts:

If ever in question to wear a veil, my answer will most always be yes. You can wear it for portraits, ceremony and take off for some group formals to have a mix of photos if preferred.

The day moves quick! It’s imperative to build in a few quiet moments for yourself to soak it all. Just before stepping out the door, touch up your lips and remember that vision staring back in the mirror. Its your wedding day.

Cara’s smile! Sure, she can swing an incredible poker face but the joy radiating from this beauty was electric! We all felt it.

Each year, this week between Christmas and New Yea

Each year, this week between Christmas and New Years is a time for reflection. Although 2020 presented many challenges, it also brought some of the greatest successes. I’m incredibly grateful to the KKWE couples and industry partners who navigated together such uncertainty. We made some seriously sweet lemonade!

I’d be mistaken to say “looking forward to a brighter 2021” because part of this year resulted in some of the most memorable weddings and unexpected, authentic experiences. What I can say is looking forward to a more safe, assured and healthy year ahead. One where a promising vaccine will allow for families to be together and couples to celebrate with more certainty on plans. One where front line workers can take a breath and feel some sense of relief. One where restaurants, hotels and venues can operate at greater capacity and flourish again. The list goes on. We are not out of the woods yet but we are sure making strides. I’m fired up and ready to go!

As this year comes to a close, I’ll be sharing images from one of the most spectacular weddings we had the pleasure of planning last New Years Eve @fairmontcopley. This couple, wedding, team, design and venue...all a fairytale come true.

Thank you @peakeventservices for this fun little holiday feature!
Whether your setting the table for two or ten, make it special. Meaningful celebrations are not defined by numbers. Tradition must be preserved, now more than ever. Embracing change, adjusting to our current reality and chasing light in a world that feels dark is so important to make the holidays bright.

Check out our holiday tips and all the amazing @peakeventservices pre-styled table top packages on their website! So many festive options. Happy Holidays to all!!

“Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.” It’s easy to get swept up dreaming for all that the upcoming year holds. Its equally as important to remember the moments that propel such excitement and feel gratitude for those experiences.

My phone currently has 11,622 pictures of family, friends and events over the past several years that mean the world to me. I purposely keep these images safeguarded on my phone (and iCloud) as a constant reminder to the things that matter most.

Today while scrolling the photo library, I found this image taken about this time last year. It was from one of the most insanely beautiful NYE weddings for a couple who’s Christmas card is currently hanging on my fridge. It instantly brought me back to a very happy day with memories and friendships I’ll cherish forever.

This picture is so much more than hanging a gown. It’s perfecting a craft, being totally engulfed in a passion for planning and executing with extreme precision. It’s a reminder that keeps me fired up, knowing this is what I love doing most!

My father and I share the same birthday. Each year

My father and I share the same birthday. Each year brings new adventure together, lots of laughs and a full heart. This year, as many of us have experienced, plans changed and our original party to celebrate his milestone 70th Birthday at Four Seasons Hotel, Boston was sadly cancelled.

Plan B? A very small dinner at my sister Brookes family home in Hingham - just us. Silver lining?! Being two creatives, Brooke, owner of @brookeanneinteriors and I designed on a whim this festive table setting, including monogrammed tartan napkins, personalized wreath cards and lots of holiday golds and greens! While we absolutely missed several key players at this dinner - the ultimate blessings of health, happiness, love and family was felt in spades. It was a very special birthday indeed!
