Winter Wonderland Wedding
Babes! It’s almost December! We’ve busted out the hot chocolate and have already enjoyed a few nights by the fire. Winter is always such a fun season, and although many brides prefer a summer wedding, there is something SO special about a winter wedding.
Today, I’m sharing all of my ideas on how to plan a Winter Wonderland wedding!
I have SO many ideas to share with you on how to transform your wedding into a winter wonderland. Let’s draw inspiration from a real wedding! My team planned an epic wedding that was full of wintery details and I would love to share some of them with you and ways that you can DIY the same look!
❄ Faux Snow down the ceremony Aisle
❄ Smoky dry ice blue martinis in the cocktail hour
❄ Ice Sculpture escort card display with hanging snowflake escort cards
❄ Clear cellophane wrapping paper in a vase to emulate ice
❄ Icy blue uplighting and moving snowflake lights
❄ Snow globe table numbers (or you could do these as favors instead!)
Check out this blog post for the full photos!!

Shhhhh! What a fun theme for this amazing day…secret society!
SO many details went into planning to make this day special. Guests were greeted at valet by masked entertainers and brought into a world complete with a ceremonial initiation, society pins, secret passwords, and more. Hidden speakeasy bars were all throughout the venue. The French menu was incredible and the art-deco decor stunning!
Mystery and magic ensued on Virginia and Nathan’s perfect day!
Until Next Time-

Babes. This was a dreamy wedding I planned for two amazing people- Brittany and Dustin!
Modern and romantic, this Jewish wedding was a beautiful celebration of marriage. This couple’s love emanated from the beautiful ceremony under the chuppah. Lucite and white details like the seating chart wall and the centerpieces gave Union Station a modern and fresh look. The party never stopped as the bride jumped up on stage and performed a surprise song with the band dedicated to her groom! SO FUN!
Until Next Time-

BIG NEWS! Introducing Table Wars on HGTV
BABES!!!
I have been waiting to tell you allllllll about what I’ve been up to over the last year. It has been SO HARD to keep this huge secret from all of you, my Bride Babes!!
Well, I can finally share the big news. Today I’m announcing my brand new TV show with Martha Stewart on HGTV! YES YOU ARE READING THIS RIGHT: H.G.T.V!!
It’s true! I have been keeping a secret for SO long! I’m on a brand new TV Show and I cannot wait to tell you guys all about it!
The show is called Table Wars and it premieres on Sunday, November 14 at 8/7pm Central on HGTV and Discovery Plus!
If you’ve ever seen Project Runway, it’s similar to that style of a show where contestants compete for a panel of judges for a cash prize and to avoid elimination. The concept is each week, we, the designers, were given a theme.
From that theme, we had to create an immersive dining experience that featured a tablescape, centerpieces, lighting, backdrops, and more!
Judging us each week was the almighty Martha Stewart and Event Designer extraordinaire Chris Hessney. Chris is the event designer for clients like Carolina Herrera, Monique Lullier and Gweneth Paltrow’s Goop.
The show is hosted by Tamara Mowry of The Real, Sister, Sister, and more!
The competition was FIERCE! Stay tuned to se who wins the $50,000 cash prize!
In the meantime, you can view a sneak peek on YouTube!
I hope you guys love the show as much as I loved filming it!
BYE, BABES 😘
Hey Babes! I know many of you are getting ready to host family and friends for Thanksgiving for the first time!! As your go-to party planner, I wanted to quickly drop in a few tips for hosting! Believe me, I’ve learned the hard way and I don’t want you to. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of this holiday!
Tip #1– Don’t be afraid to ask for help. I know, MILs can be HARD, but I promise, you NEED their help! Make a list of a few tasks you could give to others, and send them a nice text asking if they could bring a family dish, or even pick up things like ice or a pie on the way to your house!🥧
Tip #2– Consider a Potluck. Do not feel like you have to do all the cooking to impress your guests! Most people have a favorite dish, so why not let each guest bring what Thanksgiving food they can’t live without! It will make your life so much easier. You take care of the turkey, let them take care of the rest!🦃
Tip #3– Don’t forget the beverages! There are SO many fun Thanksgiving/fall-inspired cocktails on Pinterest. Also, this is a day to bring out the fancy wine, so go visit your local liquor store and ask the sommelier what would be best with your menu! This will impress your guests and leave everyone happy! Also, cute cups like THESE are such a fun way to take your beverages to the next level. 🍷
Tip #4 – Don’t forget the ingredients, tools, and kitchen equipment you might need for the recipes! To make sure you’re prepared for the big day, make the menu first, then write out the ingredients and get your grocery order in early- especially this year with the supply chain issues! You don’t want to miss out on a favorite dish because the store is out of an essential ingredient. Now may be the time to invest in that Le Creuset roaster you’ve always wanted, or purchase any pieces of your wedding china you didn’t receive as a wedding gift.
Tip #5 – Be mindful of dietary restrictions. Send a quick text asking your guests of any dietary restrictions- both allergies and preferences. You want to be sure all guests have plenty of options. This way you’ll be prepared in advance and avoid any surprises on Thanksgiving day!
BONUS: If you’re not hosting, be proactive in asking your host what you can bring! Offer to bring your favorite family recipe, or if cooking is not your thing, offer to bring the centerpiece, plates/cups/napkins/etc., wine or desserts! This will help take pressure off of your host to be the one to do it all! If they don’t want you to help, it’s always a good idea to bring flowers and a bottle of wine anyway!
Babes, I hope these tips help you have the best Thanksgiving ever!
