 My favorite part of a wedding day is witnessing the raw emotions during the vows, the joy of the first dance, and the heartfelt parent dances. Those moments never fail to give me goosebumps and remind me why I love what I do!

One of my favorite wedding trends has to be vintage cakes. There’s something so timeless and romantic about intricate piping, delicate florals, and designs inspired by eras gone by. They’re not just dessert’s—they’re works of art that add so much charm to a wedding day!

When I’m not planning weddings, you’ll usually find me either watching sports or hanging out with my dog, Birdie. Whether it’s cheering on my favorite team or relaxing with my pup, it’s the perfect way to recharge!

My favorite part of a wedding day wedding day is when the bride makes her grand entrance. Watching her walk toward her forever love is always so powerful and emotional.

My favorite wedding trend would have to be mismatched bridesmaids dresses! I love how this trend allows each bridesmaid to wear something that makes her feel confident and beautiful, while still complementing the overall wedding vibe. It adds such a fun, unique touch to the celebration!

When I am not wedding planning, I am usually traveling the world or getting lost in a good book. I love visiting new places and trying the amazing food each country has to offer, but I also can’t resist curling up with a great novel whenever I get the chance!

I absolutely love the speeches from loved ones—especially the father of the bride’s speech. I’m such a sucker for those emotional moments and always end up crying. The maid of honor and best man speeches are also a favorite because they know the couple better than anyone (aside from their new spouse), and their words are always so heartfelt and meaningful.

One of my favorite wedding trends is the first look with bridesmaids. It’s such a special moment filled with excitement and happy tears! If the bride is also close with the groomsmen, I love when they do a first look with them too—it just adds to the fun and emotion of the day.

I’m a not-so-secret nerd, so when I’m not planning weddings, you’ll almost always find me reading! I can finish a fantasy or thriller novel in under a day. If you ever want to talk about books, don’t hesitate to bring up your favorites—I could chat about them for hours!

My favorite moment of the wedding day is right after the ceremony and dinner, when the band or DJ starts playing and everyone hits the dance floor. It’s the point when all the stress fades away, and you can truly see how happy everyone is—just celebrating, having fun, and enjoying the moment with the couple.

I love the trend of offering a welcome glass of champagne as guests arrive at the ceremony. It’s such a simple yet elegant touch that sets the tone for the celebration.

When I’m not planning weddings, you’ll most likely find me in the kitchen. I love cooking, experimenting with new recipes, and trying out different dishes—especially when I get to share them with others!
