Kate and Neal’s wedding was what backyard wedding dreams are made of! Their wedding took place right in the comfort of their home. Making it a fun, laid back experience. Not to mention, their pups got to be a part of their special day– what dog parent wouldn’t lovethat! We kept asking ourselves what design style we would classify this wedding under and the perfect description is “Eclectic/Folk.” Our design inspo came mainly from the bride’s flower bouquet. This bunch was like no other. Each flower was delicately made out of wood and transformed into Kate’s one of a kind bouquet. Keep on scrolling and enjoy Kate + Neal’s fun…

Jessica + Nick: October 3, 2020
The perfect wedding day does exist! Jessica and Nick’s wedding was clearly proof of that. If you live in the Southwest, you know that although it is “Autumn” you won’t be getting “Autumn weather” in early October. You get the kind of weather where you wear a light sweater early morning and by 10 AM that light sweater is coming right off. On Jessica and Nick’s day, the sun was out, calm, but cool breeze, everything you expect in the Southwest. The bride and groom had a ton of help to make sure their Southwestern wedding was nothing but perfect. Their colors, florals, and Jessica’s custom-altered dress was everything…
