Cheers to 2024: A Look Back at Our Favorite Moments and What's to Come in 2025

To quote one of our amazing brides, our 2024 wedding season has us "screaming, crying”! We’re feeling all kinds of grateful and excited as we look back on all of the incredible weddings we got to be a part of this year. From vibrant color palettes to creating unforgettable guest experiences, it’s been a year full of creativity and fun memories. 🥰 Thank you to our incredible couples for trusting us to bring your visions to life in a way that reflects each of your unique personalities!

We can’t wait for what 2025 holds, but before we look ahead - let's take a moment to celebrate all of the goodness that came with 2024...

A Year of Bold Color and Personal Touches

2024 was all about embracing color and personality—and our couples did just that! From bright, playful hues to rich, jewel tones, this year’s weddings were a celebration of individuality and creativity. Vibrant floral arrangements, customized signage designs, and unexpected details brought a special touch to each celebration, and we loved seeing how our couples chose to make their day unique. For us, wedding design is about the mix of textures as much as it is about the mix of colors!

We also saw the rise of personalized touches that made each wedding even more special:

  • Live Watercolor Art: One of our favorite additions this year was the live watercolor painter who created custom portraits for every guest—a thoughtful keepsake that added a creative flair.

  • Handwritten Notes for Every Guest: Two couples took personalization to the next level with handwritten notes for each guest. The bride and groom thoughtfully wrote notes to make every person feel truly appreciated. How sweet is that?!

  • Interactive Entertainment: So many of our weddings included interactive entertainment, which was so fun for guests! From a Cigar Roller and Espresso Cart to a Live Drag Show and Late Night Taco Bell, entertainment was elevated in new and exciting ways. We even had a Sushi + Pizza Bar and live music featuring a Saxophone and Bongo Player—all creating an energetic atmosphere filled with fun surprises.

Strolling Receptions: A New Take on Guest Experience

One of the standout trends we noticed in 2024 was the shift toward strolling receptions—a non-traditional approach that encourages mingling and interaction. Overall, our couples really prioritized a unique, fun guest experience. A “strolling reception” floor plan allows guests to explore multiple experiences, enjoy different food and entertainment stations, and connect with one another in a more relaxed setting.

While these types of receptions create an air of casual/mingling vibes, they require thoughtful planning to ensure a smooth flow. Your guests still need to feel guided throughout the wedding and reception experience. Carefully curated seating arrangements, food stations, and entertainment must be strategically placed to guide guests through the evening in a way that feels natural and seamless. Creating this balanced atmosphere was a highlight of the year, and we look forward to seeing more couples choose this fun, engaging format!

Client Love

We are beyond grateful for the kind words and appreciation we’ve received from our couples this year. One of the most special moments was when a bride and groom thanked us during their welcome speech in front of all their guests. This was a true reminder of why we love what we do! Also, hello watery eyes…🥹

To give you a glimpse into how we strive to create weddings that are both beautiful and meaningful, here’s a piece of feedback we received from a recent inquiry:

"I see a wide range of design on your Instagram/portfolio, but all consistent in the fact that they are cohesive looks with personality."

This perfectly sums up what we aim to achieve with every wedding we design. Every celebration should feel fresh and uniquely tailored to the couple, while maintaining a cohesive design that ties everything together. Knowing that our efforts resonate with couples in this way is the greatest compliment we could ask for!

Looking Ahead to 2025: What’s Next for Us

As we move into 2025, we’re more inspired than ever to push the boundaries of wedding design, creativity, and guest experience. 😁 We want to continue delivering fresh, one-of-a-kind celebrations that leave a lasting impact on couples and their guests.

We also have some exciting new ventures on the horizon, including destination weddings in beautiful locations! ✈️
