Spring 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 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 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 MoreSeattleites Jayme and Alex's chose the quintessential Axis Pioneer Square with its exposed brick walls and urban vibe to host their downtown Seattle fall celebration. They wanted the wedding to feel both modern and glamorous, with a hint of drama. The black, gold, and pinks popped against the natural textures of brick and green foliage.
Read MoreHappy Wednesday! Today we're sharing something that is near and dear to us. This shoot will always have a special place in our hearts as it was the very first thing that we designed together as business partners. The inspiration was organic minimalism brought to life through delicate florals, earthy toned Heath ceramics and a mix of marble and copper accents. For the tablescape...
Read MorePlanning a fairytale wedding for a former Bachelorette is a dream come true for any designer and when we met Ali Fedotowsky and her fiancé (now hubby) Kevin Manno we were equally overwhelmed by how humble, sweet and romantic they were. Ali is now a successful blogger who has curated her style and brand and had a very clear vision for her wedding…
Read MoreTGIF ya’ll, we’ve got some travel inspiration fun factor on the blog today! GATHER girl Meredith is off to Barcelona, so we did a little recon work and put together a packing list inspired by the Spanish city, home of Gaudi and Catalan modernism. It’s all about bold blues, prints, and crisp whites befitting the Mediterranean destination in the peak of summer…
Read MoreWhat a retreat (emphasis on the treat), it was recently featured on Rue Magazine. We stayed in a midcentury AirBnB in downtown Palm Springs, where we each had the swaggiest of swag bags (monogrammed no less) waiting for us on our beds. We savored lovingly catered meals by Katy of My Dearest Waton, including a candlelit dinner on the patio, smoothie bowl bar, and delectable nibbles galore...
