As planners, it's only natural that we'd say this, but when it comes to aesthetically pleasing events: it's all about the details. Details impart feelings, intention, history, giving your guests not only a wonderful experience but a glimpse into your realm, the things that make you tick. We had a wonderful time planning for Steph and Andrew who were keen to hone in on the details at their Bel Air Bay Club wedding in fall of 2016...
Read MoreSpring is nearly sprung and we're thrilled with the prospect! We are relieved to see that the longer and warmer days are drawing nearer. We've been planning up a storm all winter for our 2018 (and even a few '19) clients and we've been asked by our clients if we have a stylish menswear vendor. The answer is a big emphatic YES. We've been working with The Black Tux for years now, and we love them…
Read MoreThe venue. This is one of the most important elements in the planning process to get right. Each venue has different features, different rules, costs, and different ways of operating. In an ideal world, when planning a wedding, you'd have a planner to guide you through the process of venue selection from the get-go. They would know which venues would be more likely to be in alignment with your needs and desires…
Read MoreThe winter has been long and we're itching for a little warmth, so today we are #TBT 'ing to this sweet, intimate backyard Palm Springs wedding from a few years back. When Jeannie (mom to the talented Jaimi of Fiore Beauty) and her fiance Jeff decided to celebrate their nuptials poolside at their Palm Springs residence, we knew just the team to create a romantic setting for their intimate wedding...
Read MoreIt's almost Valentines Day. We're big fans of using the occasion to spread the love to those we care about. Call us cliche, but in our book, beautiful flowers are NEVER a passé gift. At the end of last year, we finished off the wedding season with a floral arranging team brunch to thank everyone for their love and effort. The talented Megan from Flourish Floral Design…
Read MoreHappy #weddingwednesday! Today we bring you a sweet inspiration shoot that we did last winter in collaboration with Semiahmoo Resort and an awesome team of Northwest designers and vendors. Located up near the Canadian border, the venue has a remarkable locale, surrounded almost entirely by water with views of Canada and mountains in the distance...
Read MoreLove knows no bounds and unites people of different creeds, colors, and cultures. These weddings are often the couple’s opportunity to not only unite their families but to introduce their family and friends to their respective traditions. We love it when couples embrace both backgrounds for one big party. Our dear couple Avni and Tom did just that...
Read MoreCalling all procrastinating holiday shoppers! We've got your back. We put together a last minute gift guide of hot ticket items that can still be delivered to your door in time for Christmas (and save you braving the holiday madness in stores). You'd better hurry though, many of these have a holiday shipping cutoff midday Wednesday-Thursday…
Read MoreHey folks! The holidays are almost here, and boy oh boy, have we been busy little elves! We had a blast last weekend with our Dart Collective pals putting on our annual collaborative holiday party for our amazing vendor friends. It thrills us to no end to not only help bring this 'office party' to fruition every year, but to work along side such amazing and talented people…
Read MoreHappy Monday! Most of us spent the weekend getting our holiday vibes on: buying trees, shopping for gifts, and all that jolly stuff. GATHER girl Meredith was on a different sort of holiday trip altogether, she was in Dubai in the midst of United Arab Emirates's National Day celebrations…
Read MoreEngagement season is officially kicking off! We've been seeing more than a few ring pictures and happy couples as of late. Before planning gets underway, we'd love to take a few minutes to share our two cents about the value of doing engagement photo shoots...
Read MoreHappy Friday all! Is it just us, or is Thanksgiving sneaking up quickly this year? No? Some of us are hosting a big spread and have been on the hunt for inspiration for good recipes, tablescape ideas, and fun to spoil our folks with. We thought we’d share our Turkey Day Game Plan with you! Whether you’re still working on yours or you like collecting ideas as much as we do, we hope you enjoy!...
