Capote inspired rehearsal dinner on Halloween night in the Gallery Room at 🖤

Jacqueline + James // PART 3

Dinner under the October sky, dancing and more dancing!
I truly loved designing this one alongside the mother of the groom. The rich, Autumnal color palette layered with so many beautiful textures and pieces - velvet, antique Spode Woodland china, vintage glassware, sterling silver, antlers and pheasant feathers.
Stellar team of suppliers who made this wedding come together so beautifully! 👇🏻

James + Jacqueline // PART 2

The ceremony was filled with so much joy and beautiful moments. The guests and bridal party made their way from the home along a wooden boardwalk through the most gorgeous floral arch by to take their seats in antique church pews.
J+J had a bridal party procession of over 20 people, which along with the bridesmaids, groomsmen and immediate family included a “Children’s Parade” and a “March of the Dogs”.
The end of the ceremony was marked by a rose petal toss and guests made their way to cocktail hour which featured stunning seasonal charcuterie spreads and a bourbon + bacon bar by , as well as an oyster bar featuring a Stag ice sculpture and a cigar station by the fire.
Amazing team of suppliers —

Jacqueline + James // PART 1

One year ago, on a crisp Fall day in the Smokey Mountains, we were celebrating this lovely couple at the groom’s beautiful family home, aptly named Which-a-Way. The stunning architectural details of this home and surrounding property was the perfect setting for the “Celtic meets UK hunting lodge” vibes J+J wanted to create. It was even more fitting when we found out the bride has family ties to County Tyrone.
Incredible team of suppliers who made this wedding come together so beautifully with a less than 6 month lead time! 💪

English Garden Romance — Part 2.

Our Zurich based clients brought their nearest and dearest in from Europe, South America & the USA to the magical place that is The Cotswolds for their multi-day wedding celebration.

After drinks reception, guests were guided down to the lower garden at Cornwell Manor for a magical dinner in a bohemian style marquee. Drawing inspiration from summer season and the onsite Bucolic Garden created beautiful centrepieces of overflowing lush greenery and colorful floral arrangements. Following dinner the guests made their way back to the Manor House to dance the night away✨

English Garden Romance — Part 1.

Our Zurich based clients brought their nearest and dearest in from Europe, South America & the USA to the magical place that is The Cotswolds for their multi-day wedding celebration.

The Wedding Day started with a large family breakfast, followed by quick dip in the pool for the bride and groom. The intimate ceremony was held in the Norman era church on the grounds of Cornwell Manor.
After a confetti toss, guests took in the pastoral views of the English Countryside while sipping Pimms Cups, champagne and noshing on canapés.

I feel I’ve been too quiet on Instagram the last few years mainly due to choosing my priorities and social media was way down the list of those (still is). It also started feeling like something I had to do every day and like an annoying chore. Likely my own mindset but I know many of you can resonate. I enjoy living my life off screen and appreciate a sense of privacy, which I know my clients do as well.

When I started Instagram in 2012 it was solely for sharing images that brought me joy, a creative outlet. I’ve decided to start approaching it with that relaxed attitude again. Not for the likes, and not trying to be as business minded or strategic about it (not that I was ever any good at that anyway! 😂) but just to share what I love, what inspires me and when I feel like it. For maybe more of a glimpse into my life at times, so you get to know the person behind the profile and what’s important to me. More for the joy of it and supportive community I truly do feel exists in this space. I can honestly say I’ve made wonderful connections through this platform over the years and even though many of you no longer see my posts anymore, that’s okay.

I’ve had this dream job for nearly 11 years now and I’ve been so lucky to be a part of countless beautiful weddings because of the incredible clients who trust me to plan, design and coordinate one of the most exciting and special days of their lives.
I hope you all enjoy seeing more snippets and moments from these events through the years.
I’m also hoping what I choose to share will serve my existing clients, engaged couples, the wedding industry, and that it will inspire some of you and put more beauty into this world, because there’s never enough beauty.

This is not a very thought out post by any means, more of a post for my own accountability and if it fails for whatever reason, I may just hire that social media manager I’ve been talking about for years! 😅
