Nature-Inspired Wedding Design

Rachel wanted the decor to feel “light and fun but still elegant.” She included lots of greenery and flowers to reflect her love of nature. With help from planner Joelle Parks, the vision came to life. Joelle’s calm presence and attention to detail made the day flow beautifully. We always love working with Joelle!
