What goes up, must come down. Our team spent a solid week of getting up on ladders, hanging wreaths, fluffing garland, and placing oversized bows to get nine local restaurants holiday ready… and now it ends. Every garland gets boxed and labeled. Every ornament tucked back in its place and each wreath finding a new home - until next year. It seems almost sad to put away the holiday decor, but ready for the next bit of sparkle & shine!
Do you recognize any of the places we added a touch of holiday magic? Sound off below!
Back in the studio after a well-deserved pause, and starting the week with something that never gets old: a consultation with the next daughter in a family we’ve already had the honor of designing for - twice!!
Working with families over time, watching their stories unfold, and being invited back for life’s milestones is one of the most meaningful parts of what we do. Throwing it back to Laura & Ethan`s celebration as a reminder of how these relationships grow.

Good by 2025. Hello 2026! More moments than a single reel can capture.
The end of the year calls for reflection… and what better inspo for that than disco balls 🪩!

Claire & Ray’s winter wedding at the Hotel Monaco felt a little like coming home.
Moody plums, blush tones, deep navy, and layers of evergreen set the tone for a night that leaned fully into winter romance. Claire’s lace gown was pure softness against the richness of the palette, while emerald-clad bridesmaids brought depth and glow to every moment.
We’ve designed more weddings at the Monaco than anywhere else, and this one reminded us why it holds such a special place for our team. Staying on as coordinators meant we weren’t just there for the flowers, we were there for the family, the pacing, the quiet moments in between.
And then… a little holiday magic outside. Swipe through for the surprise.
