A year ago you may have been celebrating with your best girl squad but little did you know that your first anniversary would mean you’d have another joining in on the fun. Happy anniversary to the Pavone’s… Party of Three 💗

The countdown is on for S & M!! 🤍 We can’t wait to see all the carefully planned details come together and watch them dance the night away under the summer sky, surrounded by their family and friends. Only 3 days to go. 🥂⁣

A little trip down memory lane. Our small business has grown over the years thanks to the love and support of our clients and the word of mouth referrals that they’ve blessed us with. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We’ve had opportunities to have legacy clients where we’ve been on the team for more than one family member, or in occasions like the photo here, friends from the same circle. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When I think back to some of the best parts of my career, this is one of them! We love seeing our past clients at current events, celebrating in a different way as part of a current clients bridal party, or even on social media as they grow their own families or celebrate different milestones. ⁣⁣

Thank you to for capturing this photo at a wedding we had at From Pennsylvania to Florida - we had the pleasure of being on all four of these lovely ladies wedding teams. ⁣

Over the next few weeks, we’re diving into all things bridal showers✨ ⁣
⁣
When crafting the perfect theme, remember to be inspired by the bride’s interests – it’s all about celebrating their unique style and passions. ⁣
⁣
In this snapshot, we drew inspiration from Reese Witherspoon’s lifestyle and cookbook “Whiskey in a Teacup.” 📚✨⁣
⁣
Imagine a tablescape adorned with vibrant florals, mixed prints through the linens, and woven charger plates styled alongside mini rolling pins and whisks. Our favorite detail were the menu cards doubling as keepsakes with recipes from the cookbook.⁣
⁣
As we continue to share, get ready for a whirlwind of whimsical celebrations that marry elegance with personality – let’s make each bridal shower as special as the bride or guest of honor themself. ⁣

Another 3D illustration turning into our couples reality. 🤍 ⁣

When this client came to us to help with the planning and design of her day, she thought she had an idea of what she wanted but couldn’t quite put it into words or make sense of her ideas. It was a fun and thorough process as we worked together to create all of the pieces for an inviting and joyful soirée. The aesthetic included a unique color palette of blushes, greens, oranges and yellow, multiple textures throughout the linens, three different prints in the stationery with traditional stripes, polka dots and a custom floral print. Summer sophistication with a touch of playfulness in an an otherwise masculine venue…I’m proud of what we created. ⁣

Prior to the wedding, we presented our couple with this illustration so that could have a sneak peek of what their celebration would look like. Every detail was included, right down to the stationery design from and the florals from . captured the beauty of the wedding when it finally came to life this past August. ⁣ Chairs Linens Rentals

Holidays at the Manor House open later this week and I’m so excited for anyone local who will get to stop by and see how we styled the dining space. Volunteers put hundred of hours into decking the halls and it’s been a pleasure to be a part of it.⁣⁣

Now onto the details. I don’t want to choose favorites… but these flocked nutcrackers were the ⭐️ of this tablescape. I loved them from the moment I laid eyes on them but I promise there are so many other festive details that I’m looking forward to sharing soon. ⁣

Two years later and this still has been an all time favorite! With the guest experience and florals in mind, we worked with our bride and the amazing team at to design a display that served as place cards and favors all at once. Guests could enjoy these florals at the wedding and at home. 🤍

Three years ago our family welcomed our first born son, August into the world. It was years of answered prayers that came true that day and we have truly counted our blessings ever since. ⁣

Having the opportunity to have a baby shower and celebrating with our friends and family is always a memory we’ll cherish forever. I’m so grateful to have these images from to look back on to remember the day. ⁣
