Sappy post alert, but this one feels different. 🥲
Because the truth is, I stepped away from wedding planning for nearly two years with the exception of a few select referrals. I chose slower weekends, more time at home and being fully present with my kids. It was a season that reshaped me in the best way—but quietly, without applause.
And now… this. A wedding I planned featured in Vogue. VOGUE, y’all! 🤯
Not during my busiest year. Not at the peak of my career. But after a pause. After space. After choosing something different for a while.
This moment feels like more than just a feature—it feels like confirmation. That I can step away and come back. That growth doesn’t always look loud. That the work I love still has a place for me.
If you’re in a season of stepping back, slowing down, or choosing something outside the hustle—this is your reminder: you’re not falling behind. You’re building something deeper. ✨
And sometimes, all it takes is one spark to remind you exactly who you are.
This one was special in every way—thoughtful, layered, and full of intention. Bringing together two cultures, two families, and so many meaningful details is exactly why I love what I do.
So grateful to my incredible couple, Maia and Neil, for trusting me with something this personal—and to the talented team who helped bring it to life.

The fanciest pup I ever did see! 🤩 When you really love your dog AND you really love art, it only makes sense to turn your dog into a work of art! My favorite menu/ name card combo to date. Talk about a fun personal detail! 🐶🎾

POV: You marry your best friend in New Orleans. The photos— Beautiful. The energy— Even Better. 💥
These are always the moments I come back to the most. 🥹💗
Because the most memorable weddings aren’t just beautiful to look at — they feel beautiful to be part of. ✨

My favorite part? When it all feels this natural. 💗
The color, the energy, the people—nothing forced, everything simply working. ✨
Exactly as it should feel.
That’s the goal every time. 🤌🏼💋

What you expect VS what you actually get 🤪
I prefer luxury that feels like a conversation, not a contract. Many people expect formality, complications and a certain level of stuffiness (let’s be honest…). That’s not my vibe. 😅 With Everly, luxury is warm, clear and personal. I believe that turning your New Orleans wedding dreams into an elevated celebration should still be fun! 🥂

Service so good, I'll even be your hand model... as long as I can have a sip of that cocktail after! 😜
In all seriousness- your signature cocktail has the opportunity to tell your story as thoughtfully as your florals. Don't go with something generic (I'm looking at you, Lemon Drop 🙄) . Make it make sense-- make it feel personal to you and/or the location (Hello, Sazerac at a NOLA wedding! 🍹). Otherwise, it's just a cocktail. Ready to elevate your celebration with us? 🥂

Feeling pressured to make your New Orleans wedding LOOK impressive? 👀True luxury is about celebrating your story with personal details, thoughtful design + calm, focused planning. Refined, intentional, elevated- not excessive, not frenzied.✨
If you're planning a wedding where the experience is just as important as the aesthetic, I would love to hear more about what you're dreaming up! 🤌🏼

A beautiful wedding will always be remembered.
But the ones that really stay with you? They’re beautiful AND intentional. 💗
Every detail considered. Nothing excessive. Nothing missing.
That balance—that restraint—is where I believe luxury lives. Elevated aesthetics + Thoughtful restraint + Seamless experience = The Sweet Spot ✨
If you’re planning and want something that feels like you—not just what you’ve seen before—this is your sign.
Save this for later. You’ll come back to it.
