Monday morning site visit, preparing for a tent build at this gorgeous home in Gloucester, Massachusetts. This location was not part of the couples original plan. Nor will it be the last. But we sure are glad to include it as part of their story in two short weeks.

The beauty of having seasoned and dependable event partners...no matter the time frame, we’ll get it done. Private estate micro-weddings are quickly becoming a 2020 favorite. And we are here for it!!

My first position out of college was as the Assist

My first position out of college was as the Assistant to the Director of Public Relations @ritzcarlton Palm Beach (now @eaupalmbeach). This experience and the hotel company motto that “We are Ladies and Gentleman serving Ladies and Gentleman” is a belief I’ve carried throughout my many years working in hospitality. My clients are both the coupes I serve as well as the event partners who help me to produce such memorable events. I’ve always been a team player and believe wholeheartedly in supporting each other. When it comes to delivering superior service, all hands must be on deck!

This image was taken post-ceremony as we loaded florals from the church onto the ferry in route to the reception on @innonpeaks. Our couple wanted to repurpose these gorgeous arrangements for their guest entry into the tent. My immediate response was and will always be “absolutely, it’s a pleasure to be of service.” Because it is.

I have felt a serious shift in planning this week. Renewed energy as we are as slowly drifting from a sea of contracts and postponements back into the swing of site visits and design. Maybe it’s stepping out from behind the computer screen and engaging again...seeing a smile, feeling a human connection. Yes, we must continue to proceed with caution. But we must also move forward with heart and hope. We will experience this again...soon!

YES. So much yes to their love and this insanely romantic proposal. Carly thought they were taking holiday pictures but her lady, Sarah had other plans! @sjbriggs24 arranged to have Charlie (their fur baby) deliver the ring and also for some of @cwellington31 family to surprise visit from Seattle in celebration of their engagement. These pictures so beautifully captured by @amillionmoreadventures say it all! Humbled and honored to assist with planning the wedding for the future Mrs & Mrs!

Lush, impactful, tall green centerpieces complimen

Lush, impactful, tall green centerpieces complimented by a soft understory of candles and traditional white tibet roses. For this summer wedding, we leaned towards a neutral color palette with accents of nautical navy. Everything about this celebration felt fresh, light and airy, classic and timeless. Not pictured here: the breathtaking coastal views and ocean just steps away.

Feeling that sun. Feeling everything a little deeper these days and striving to bring light to every challenge, every unknown 2020 has presented. We must keep moving forward with love and kindness everyday.
•
Plan B. Let’s go! Viewing a new private property for the first time is invigorating...it’s like a kid entering Walt Disney World mapping out where they will go first. Looking at the initial point of entry so as to offer guests the warmest of welcomes, scouting best area for catering, ascertaining locations for ceremony and cocktails, surveying the property for tent sizing, capacity, band location and “previewing” the celebration in my head. The list goes on. I get goose bumps. Especially now, having weathered the storm of this global pandemic with couples who have been patient and entrusted me to produce such sacred celebrations. Accepting the reality that “our hands are currently tied” with moving forward on original plans for large city weddings and saying ok, where do we go from here? Together.
•
This weekend’s site visit to meet with Cara and Ryan on their new plan for a smaller celebration was beyond uplifting. To switch gears from pause to play. To see this wonderful couple get excited again about their wedding. And yes, this view and home certainty help to soften the blow! Now, let’s get to planning!

“The hidden work is the heart work is the hard work.” - @ashlee_eiland

Knowledge is power but without each lesson connecting to the heart, fueling action — it alone avails us nothing. The past few weeks I’ve spent educating myself, diving into documentaries, literature and engaging in meaningful conversations centered around anti-racism. Ive only just begun to digest the long standing social injustices in this world. The real work extends far beyond Instagram or stated intentions. Not all lessons can be seen or conversation heard but over time, our efforts will be felt. My heart remains open, teachable and full of love for the Black community. My voice is anchored in truth and will be used to speak up towards eradicating systemic racism and inequality. I will work harder to do this every day.
•
Our industry is rooted in love. I will continue to foster that sentiment, return to sharing wedding and event images while taking personal inventory of how I can be more inclusive. I will keep trying to do better.

It’s no longer acceptable to remain silent. I commit to take action and have a voice: through uncomfortable conversations, by educating myself on the many long-standing injustices here is the United States and by serving as an active anti-racist advocate in our community. This spans beyond love, human kindness and empathy for others...its a feeling in the depth of my soul and God-given right that we are all created equal. I will try harder. I will remain teachable, open and mindful of how my actions and words effect others. As a mother leading by example to highly impressionable children, as a white woman with seeks a deeper awareness to the unwarranted privileges based solely on the color of my skin and as a human being who knows the fundamental difference between right from wrong. Let’s stand with one another and for one another...peacefully, together...we must move forward with change. 🤎🖤🤍💔

As we move further into 2020, I look forward to creating more of these small, initiate celebrations. Microweddings are defined as fifty guests or less, often encompassing many of the traditional elements and details of a larger scale wedding, including ceremony and reception. This differs from the also popular “minimony” which is smaller in size with 10 guests or less (usually immediate family) and includes an exchange of nuptials with possible dinner to follow.
•
What we are seeing this summer and leading into early fall is any combination of the two. Others have chosen to postpone altogether, most usually one year from original date into 2021 which is amazing too. Ultimately, it’s a highly personal decision for each couple to make and we are here to support them every step the way!

One thing my Nana would always say and that I wholeheartedly believe is “we cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust our sails.” There is always a solution. It may not be the exact picture originally planned but often times, it is even better!
•
In the midst of this unforeseen storm, we choose to live in the solution — creating alternate ways to celebrate with a mission to find joy and bring it to our clients in whatever form, size or capacity that may be. Today was special in many ways. It was my first site visit since March 11th and scheduled to discuss with one of our 2020 couples their new plan for a microwedding at the Bride’s childhood home. To see her expression, to know we are moving forward and to feel a sense of joy in planning again was beyond fulfilling.
•
Happiness will prevail. Shelby and Eric will have their big party next Spring @interconbos. And they will also enjoy a small, intimate microwedding amongst immediate family on their originally planned date this August. We are so grateful to share in it all.

This invitation suite created by @fetecollection was the perfect introduction to what would have been a breathtaking setting for Perry & Sam’s wedding @icaboston this June. While we won’t see this day unfold as planned, we will celebrate their love. We will appreciate the beauty in the details. And we will remember with the fondest memories our time spent planning together for this day. Sad? Of course. Confident that there is another plan that will be equally, if not more beautiful for this couple? Absolutely. We have faith as with love, all things are possible.

Maybe its the selection of flowers, the thought behind the design, the soft spring color palette, the preservation of tradition or the small glimmer of “normalcy” we feel seeing our gorgeous bride hold her bouquet. For a multitude of reasons, this arrangement so perfectly crafted by @floristika_studio brings us tremendous joy today.
