Bridal showers, luncheons, or just a get together with friends can be elevated by the presence of juice, fruit and bubbles. Simple as that! After having designed dozens of mimosa bars, I’m here to share the must-haves […]

Claire and Andrew’s wedding day was one we’ll never forget. Their beautiful vision was brought to life my an incredible team and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Let’s take a look at their day! Claire and Andrew’s florals were stunning. The mix of the light pink and white palate with the burnt […]
