There is the moment, there is the photograph that holds onto it, and there is the feeling—the hardest of the three to keep—of a day like this at Glenstone.

Mom’s night out, but make it mahjong class 🀄️✨ Our Hive mamas traded bedtime routines for bamboo, dots, and cracks in an evening led by @kendalllbanks —and let’s just say, the vibes were as strong as the winning hands 🙌 Because community means showing up for each other… Even if it means a little friendly competition. Who’s joining next time?! 💛 #hivefamilycollective #parkcitymoms #midwaymoms #mahjongparty #momsnightout

Posting a few more moments from our New York Bridal Market as I’ve been home for the past week, and finally had a moment to reflect on it. Seeing the setup come to life and then watching the space filled with people experiencing the collection was one of those rare, thrilling moments that stays with you long after the night ends. None of it happens without an incredible team, and I’m deeply grateful for everyone who helped bring it together with such care and precision. A special thank you to @isthatwillmartinez for standing by my side for a second year in a row. We continue to push the boundaries of what Katherine Tash Bridal can be. And to my dearest @mvc.communications I feel so lucky to be building this momentum with you. Eight years into this business, it still feels like both things are true at once, I feel every day of those eight years, and yet I blink and it has gone by in a flash. Capping off this big year for @katherinetash with the party and little moments in between the market chaos with colleagues who are now friends, felt like a true shift. Coming home from New York and sitting with it all, I feel so proud of this collection and so grateful for this moment in my career. I’m really looking forward to sharing more on here, especially the behind-the-scenes of how it all came together. And a special shoutout to the caterers for quietly stashing food in the back to let us sneak away for a martini and a carb! 🍸

The (affectionately named) paperwork wedding of Sam and Dan in Vegas before they headed to Italy for their big, destination wedding in Puglia, was truly one of the most joyful and intentionally spent celebrations I’ve ever been part of. With a guest count of 17, this micro wedding was small but over the top with incredible fashion, locations, and activities for the family and friends who were part of it. - Photography: Vanessa Todd @nessietodd Fashion Styling: @itsgivingbridal @samisfierce Ceremony Venue: Little White Chapel Reception Venue: @thepepperclub_ Getting Ready Venue: @caesarspalace @nobuhotels Wedding Dress: @asar_london Bridal Scarf: @ellegarretsonbridal After Party Dress: @giuseppedimorabito_official @therealreal Wedding Ring: @susiesaltzman Jewelry: @reverencejewelry Rehearsal Dinner: Vintage Maison Margiela Blazer, Vintage Crochet Pearl Dress via @chezsarahvintage Groom Tuxedo: @indochino @indochinoweddings Custom Playing Cards: @mrplayingcard Custom Matches: @foryourparty Bride Getting Ready Set: @kat_thelabel

Woke up to this news from @wed_vibes 🫶🏻 feeling so honored to be recognized alongside so many incredible creatives. When I started this business, I had no idea what was in store for me - the amazing brides that would trust me with their visions, the brands I’d work with, the photographers that would capture my work, the recognition I’d receive. Every day I have to pinch myself that this is my job 🤏🏼 forever grateful for this work and the amazing opportunities that have come my way.
