When I am not working on flowers, I am a mother of two wonderful people with a passion for interior design , shoes , fashion, good food , friends and family !

Sarena Floral Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first consultation, she felt like a new friend, and was open-minded and responsive, taking the time to understand our vision to create something unique together. The final product was simply stunning - the floral arrangements and abundance of candle varieties were fluid, lively, and highly creative, creating a natural, grounded space while still feeling elegant and timeless in Old Town. Sarena and her team were adaptive and worked quickly. The end result was better than what I envisioned, and a true friendship was formed through working together.

Hiring Cassidy from Dusk to Dawn Events was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! I opted for partial planning, and I can honestly say that having her help along the way saved my sanity. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Cassidy's expertise made the process smooth and enjoyable. One of the standout features of working with Cassidy is that she’s not just a planner; she’s also an incredible florist! Having my wedding planner also handle the floral design made creating my vision so much easier. She seamlessly integrated the two aspects, ensuring everything—from the ceremony decor to the reception arrangements—flowed beautifully together. Cassidy’s creativity and attention to detail truly set her apart. She listened to my ideas and transformed them into a stunning reality, all while keeping me organized and on track.

Fox Meadow Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding and I could not have imagined a more magical night. It offered the perfect indoor/outdoor experience for our guests with beautiful views and stunning sunset picture opportunities. Dixie was very easy to work with, from coordinating the initial venue visit to allowing us to stop by on our own several times before the wedding to take another look, to just overall great communication. The venue itself is already so beautiful and the lighting is amazing but on top of that they have left over decorations available from previous events to borrow (which we did and they were awesome)! The flexibility to choose our own vendors made it a much more affordable experience. On top of that, Dixie also provided a list of local vendors that previous events had used which was also super helpful in finding vendors. I could not recommend this venue enough!!

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
Awarded Best of Zola
Sweeney Barn was the perfect fit for our wedding day. Andrea was incredibly organized and responsive throughout the entire planning process, and she was always happy to answer questions from both my mother and me without hesitation. The space itself is stunning and didn't need much added to feel like an upscale venue as the chandeliers and openness of the structure provide a perfect backdrop. However, we did choose to add drapery and florals that enhanced the already beautiful space to exactly what wanted. We loved how versatile the barn was—we flipped the upstairs to work for both our ceremony and reception, while using the downstairs for cocktail hour, and this flexibility proved invaluable when the weather didn't cooperate on our day. The venue's requirements/preferred vendors work in favor for couples, or at least for us. Using a day-of coordinator as required, which I was hesitant about turned out to be one of the best decisions we made and we did this through Sublime Event Coordinator who worked with a preferred caterer, Genesis Delight Catering. Dianna at Sublime along with our day-of venue manager, Glynis, helped everything run smoothly and kept us stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Sweeney Barn and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run venue.

Cassidy put together the florals for our wedding this weekend. We ordered arbor flowers that Cassidy recycled to our cake and sweetheart table. Unfortunately the wind during the first half of our reception was a little WILD so my current photos of that aren’t able to do it justice until my photos come in. However, I have some photos of the flowers before I sent them off for preservation as well. We also used Cassidy for rentals of pillar candles and bud vases. She assembled those and had welcome table greens for us, my bouquet, and my husband’s boutonniere. I was constantly adding things to the list like some spray flowers for my photographers for my flat lays. But she managed it. Cassidy attended our walk through to make sure that she saw the property and knew where our flowers would be doing. She provided some inspiration photos based on what I wanted and she delivered on that for sure! I think the centerpieces in particular were EXACTLY what I was looking for. She really nailed those and they turned out beautifully. When we didn’t know what we wanted or struggled to get a good vision going, she made some suggestions and went through the pros and cons with me of options. It was great to get her input on things and also trust her perspective as it relates to florals. Thank you so much for a great day!

Fueled by equal parts sweet tea and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

Melinda was an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire process. We first met her for our engagement photos, which gave us the chance to get to know her and feel more comfortable together before the big day. By the time our wedding arrived, it was clear that her vision perfectly aligned with everything we had hoped for—it was truly perfect.

The gals at Crumbs & Crumbles were amazing to work with and left a lasting impression on us and our guests. They had so many options and made the entire experience from cake tasting to delivery a breeze. It was clear to us that they know what they are doing when it comes to the sweets. We would highly recommend them for all your dessert needs. Our favorite was the custom macarons they made of our dogs!

Enchanted Garden did a great job! I tried to plan everything myself, but last minute realized we needed a day of planner! They did NOT disappoint! They came to our rehearsal and went over everything so our wedding day went perfect, and let me tell you... it was PERFECT! Definitely made the day run so much smoother!

Dejane was wonderful to work with for our wedding at the Goodstone Inn in Middleburg. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and flexible throughout the process. We did a trial at my home and she thoughtfully adjusted everything to achieve the soft, natural look I wanted—perfect for the day. On the wedding morning she did my makeup, my mom’s, my sister’s, and even a light, age-appropriate touch for my 11-year-old niece. Everyone felt beautiful and comfortable, and the looks lasted flawlessly. I highly recommend her!

There are no amount of words to be able to explain how much I enjoyed working with Morgan for our wedding! Long story short, 6 weeks out we were suddenly in need of a new photographer & videographer. I frantically posted in a wedding facebook group & Morgan was recommended. Having to find a new photographer & finding Morgan was a huge blessing in disguise. From our first call, she made me feel at ease with her not only capturing our love story but also as an asset to help things run smoothly on our big day! Though we met Morgan for the first time on our wedding day, she immediately made us feel comfortable. She is so fun and kind but also knows how to take charge when needed! She is extremely organized & did a great job capturing the photos I wanted based on inspiration photos. Our bridal party had so much fun taking photos which says a lot if you've ever been a part of one. My hubby even enjoyed taking photos which he hates to do! Her second shooter, Hannah, was super sweet, a great help, and added amazing ideas & photos. Morgan gave us so many beautiful photos that we will cherish forever! I seriously can't recommend Morgan enough!!
