@britishvogue love you too

You might not see our faces much on here but rest assured at least one of our voices is behind every word on this page. Thank you dear 朋友 (friend) — in extending your support, you become our sponsors for our art-making and enduring creative practice. xoxo, Grace and Marg

GARDEN OF EDEN — the tablescape. Moss-draped textures, fruit softened by candlelight, greens gathered in quiet abundance. Not arranged, but discovered. Where light flickers, conversation lingers, and every detail invites you to stay just a little longer.

Opening night at Jeha Darshini — music moving the room, the bay glowing just beyond the windows. Hosted at Gallery 308 in San Francisco, Neha & Jake’s reception blended South Indian heritage with American rhythm. A restaurant of their own — open late, full of love —drawn from the Bengaluru cafés where Neha’s parents went on date nights, and still do.

At Gallery 308, Neha and Jake’s reception unfolded as opening night at Jeha Darshini, a restaurant-styled reception inspired by the Bengaluru cafés where Neha’s parents went on date nights (and still do!). Hand-carved wood-block linens, printed in Bengaluru by the artisans of @tharanginistudio , grounded the tables in heritage and craft. Bay Area beats carried the night forward, and sweeping views of the bay framed a celebration shaped by memory, culture, and vibrant joy.

Happy November folks, I’m missing the balmy September we had, looking back to the start of fall.

Autumn in New York has arrived but let’s throw briefly throw it back to August 🤠

August is over! Here is July, my monthly IG algorithm tax lest I get completely kicked to the curb by daddy meta I feel inclined to apologize to my beautiful clients and planners for all the projects I haven’t managed to post yet 🫠 I’m sorry y’all! I’d love to have a ‘healthy social media presence’ but unfortunately at this time I cannot be both “present” on social media and “healthy” at the same time I’m sorry :’) But I’ve had the honor of being a part of so many beautiful projects, so I’m genuinely excited to share, just slowly! At a rate I can manage… working on growing more social media savvy. Hope y’all understand!

oops July is almost over! Run June back though. Some snippets of stationery and weddings and life in between

“A table set not just with plates and flowers, but with gratitude, laughter, and the stories that bring us together.” I had the delight (and honor) of helping plan the Emerge Event Collective Dinner at the Loews Regency earlier this week—a gathering that felt quietly magical, filled with warmth, intention, and moments that linger like a favorite memory. Emerge Event Collective, at its heart, is about community—those one-on-one conversations that grow into lasting friendships, like small seeds that suddenly bloom. For this dinner, I was inspired by my experiences in Korea and the kindhearted AAPI vendors who have sent late-night messages, encouraging words, and a kind of understanding that feels like home. This evening was my quiet thank you to them. As the lyrics from “Golden” in K‑Pop Demon Hunters say: “Even in the quiet, we are shining.” That’s exactly how this night felt—an ensemble of creative spirits, each one glowing softly but brilliantly. Thank you, Loews Regency, for welcoming us, and to Emerge Event Collective, for giving us the space to gather, dream, and celebrate what we create together. 🍊✨ Venue: Loews Regency @loewsregency Planning & Design: Lena Lee Events @lenaleeevents Photography: Rachael Crowe @okcrowe Stationery: Stone Hill Paperie @stonehillpaperie Entertainment: Sori Artists @sori.nyc and @g_hwaja.koreanband Rentals: BBJ La Tavola @bbjlatavola Live Illustrator: Studio XiXi @studioxixi Sound and Lighting Design: @canalslpro Floral Installation: Hana Form @hanaform Floral Design: Yours Truly Flowers NYC @yourstrulyflowersnyc Dancing Performance: Flushing Town Hall @flushing_town_hall Video: Paul Kwak Films @paulkwakfilms Menu and Sign Printing: Indigo Ink @indigoinkprint Content Creation: The Spoiled Bride @thespoiledbride Violin Performance: Dr Edward W.

a little belated round up of some passing moments in may. I’m pretty 💩 at social media work and content creation but alas it is important to running my business, hoping some low-stakes posting of stuff already in my camera roll can make it all feel more casual and not so scary, and lighten the pressure of a well curated grid. -Grace
