Kat’s mom brought these favors from Italy, a traditional gift for birthdays. The white lanterns decorated the table and had a silver metallic...

read moreElizabeth + Jim: A Sweet Affair
Elizabeth and Jim’s big day was all about color and candy :). We designed their event around this color board that we created, knowing Elizabeth really loved purple more than anything else. Selecting a purple that was “just right” was our main challenge, knowing we were going to pair it with an apple green. We landed on a plummy purple, and really allowed the green to pop. And a few fun Instagram’s from the night: Thanks for letting us design and plan your fun day, Elizabeth and Jim! Be sure to watch their...
read moreAn EL Styled Shoot for Green Wedding Shoes
See the feature of this photo shoot on Green Wedding Shoes here! For this shoot we created one color scheme and concept, and styled it two different ways! Why did we want to showcase two different styles and demonstrate how to achieve them? Simply because we find the most difficult part of planning a wedding for brides is staying cohesive in their styling so that every element compliments the other. We wanted to break the styling down and make the differences more obvious by keeping colors and the floral topper the same. While the colors are...

read moreAmy + Marshall: Seafoam and Cobalt Wedding
This wedding was nominated for Wedding of the Year for the 2013 St Louis Wedding Awards! We are so honored! Amy & Marshall are truly two of the tallest clients we’ve ever had. I mean… the best. But, they are pretty tall. When we first met Amy with her sister and Maid of Honor Beth, we knew we were going to love this girl. And we did. Amy was low-maintenance and agreeable, but trusted us enough to always ask questions and voice her opinions. Even though she came to us having no idea how she wanted her Big Day to look, when...
