This was the most darling Blue Jean Baby 🧢 shower for @hailee_thoen 🫶🏻 Hosted by @edinfrandrup + @lishkuehn , & styled by @brookealger_ + @karenthoen with AFA! 🛋️ 10/10, no notes 💫
It’s the little things for us ✨ On event day, we’re not just setting things down + calling it good. We’re fluffing pillows, straightening chairs, adjusting candles, stepping back + stepping in again…until everything feels just right 🫶🏻
Because your vision deserves more than a “close enough”. It deserves thoughtful placement, intentional design + a team that cares about the details 🤍 From styling rentals to making sure everything is running smoothly with Day of Coordination, we’re here to bring your day to life exactly how you imagined it. Your job? Relax, soak it all in + enjoy every moment 🥰
If you’re dreaming something up + need a team to help you bring it to life, we’re your gals!

CHEERS TO 5 YEARS OF A FAMILY AFFAIR EVENT STYLING 🥂🤍
Five. Whole. Years. We honestly can’t believe we’re typing that 🥹
What started as one casual family group chat text (“okay but hear me out… let’s start an event styling business 👀”) turned into this wild, beautiful, full-calendar dream + we’re still pinching ourselves.
For those who are newer here: we’re Karen, Brooke + Hailee—a mom + daughters trio who love all things style, hosting, dreaming big + serving people well. From a few inventory pieces tucked into a spare bedroom in 2021 to an entire (very FULL 😅) inventory space today… the growth has been unreal + more than we could have dreamed of.
To our amazing clients—thank you for trusting us with your vision, your milestones + your most special days. Truly, it means everything to us that you invite us into these moments 🤍 To our vendor friends—thank you for cheering us on, referring us, collaborating with us + helping bring so many dreamy events to life. We couldn’t do this without you 🫶
Over the last 5 years, we’ve grown in ways we never imagined—expanding our rental collection, offering fully customized styling experiences, adding Day-Of Coordination last year (which you all have LOVED 🥹), and continuing to dream up new ways to serve our couples + clients better.
We’re so proud to be a small, women-owned, family business, + even prouder of the community that surrounds us. This season of business feels especially exciting… and we’ve got BIG goals, BIG ideas + lots more to come ✨
So here’s to 5 years of dreaming big, designing with intention + helping events feel effortless, elevated + totally YOU 🥂
Thank you for being here, celebrating with us + supporting our family business. It truly means more than you know 🤍 PS, we’re currently booking 2026 events + our calendar is filling fast . . . don’t wait if you’ve been thinking about working with us! 👀💌
CHEERS!!!
Karen, Brooke + Hailee ✨
Your wedding day should be as unique as you 🤍 Not a copy + paste. Not a checklist. Not added stress. And we’re here to help with that! 🫶🏻
At AFA, we believe in dreaming big. Our process is internally different. You don’t just scroll our website, pick out some pieces + hope it all works together. Instead, we offer a fully customized, hands-on experience that’s tailored to you, your style + your day. ✨ From the initial consultation to creating your personalized Style Board with our curated rental inventory, designing with intention, delivery, set up + take down . . . we are your go-to gals for creating a wedding day that feels effortless, elevated + totally YOU 🙌🏼
Our goal is simple: to make your wedding day stand out, beautifully + stress free. You dream it + we’ll design it and bring it to life.
📆 Currently booking 2026 dates + our calendar is filling up fast!!
