How long have you been in business?
15 marvelous years!
What advice do you have for those planning a wedding?
I always counsel our couples that the planning process is as hard as you decide to make it.
What do you love most about doing what you do?
I love that moment of putting it all together, translating vague ideas and color schemes into something real and magical, and the joy on our couples’ faces.
What inspires you?
I draw inspiration from many places. Anywhere you see color and shape and texture and form!
What are the most important things to remember on the wedding day?
The most important thing to remember is that it’s about getting married.
What sets you apart from others in your field?
I think what sets us apart is that we have a good sense of the big picture of the whole event, both what matters and what doesn’t, and that goes beyond just the details we are involved in creating. We take a “boutique” approach with our clients, working very personally with them and most importantly listening to them. It’s not about my voice; it’s about theirs.
