Jess and Kale ❤️

We had the BEST time planning and designing Jess and Kale’s wedding. Every detail was so personal, and every decision was made with their guests in mind.

We loved the moody speakeasy lounge, the custom hats, the coffee and affogato cart, the cake, the live bubbly wall, the watercolour artist, the handwritten thank-you notes for each guest and, of course, the epic dance party!

Weddings like this don’t just happen on their own. They take a lot of planning, thoughtful logistics, and an incredible team, especially when you’re working with a very small setup and tear down window.

And this team absolutely delivered. Every single vendor worked so hard to bring it all together, and we’re truly so grateful to everyone who played a part in this one. ❤️

Here's a glimpse into everything that happens behind the scenes to execute a wedding. It's a lot of moving and unpacking boxes, moving furniture, and moving it again so its just right, steaming and placing linens, measuring, and checking in with the team. This is the work no one sees, and our team pours everything into it so every detail turns out better than you imagined.

We are so happy with how Deanna and Jake's day came together, and we are so excited to share that we are a preferred planner at @lune1860.

Thank you to this incredible vendor team for working together to bring this event to life, we could not have done it without you!

A moment for Jessica + Kale’s wedding because… this was a VIBE.

The details. The energy. The planning. The whole night was just *so* good.

Also making her official debut: our Affogato Bar. And honestly? She ate. 🍨☕️

First wedding out and already stealing the show.

Crystal & Marlon ✨🪩

We had so much fun planning and designing this celebration! From the velvet green linens and wavy napkins to the bracelet seating chart, disco ball ceiling, and temporary tattoo cart, every detail was a little reflection of Crystal and Marlon.

This wedding was full of personality, playful details and all the things that made their celebration feel so personal to them. And honestly, those are our favourite kinds of weddings. 🤍

Crystal & Marlon, thank you for letting us bring your vision to life. ✨

A few weeks ago, I had the honour of being part of the most beautiful day for two very special soulmates.

Every detail felt deeply personal, unique to them, perfectly at home within the venue, and effortlessly in tune with the mood of the day. The colours felt as though they had always belonged there, long before we ever brought the design to life.

A forever favourite for so many reasons, but especially for the feeling I had walking into the room before the reveal. That quiet moment when everything comes together, the vision becomes tangible, and you get to witness the magic we’ve been imagining all along.

One I’ll be carrying with me for a long time. 🤍
