A Classic and Elegant Hutton House Wedding… Thats what I would use to describe Sarah and Will’s Wedding and both of their personal styles.. Classic and Elegant!

Planning with Sarah and Will was a breeze. She was decisive, had a vision of what she wanted and also knew a handful of vendors that she wanted to use. We first met at the Hewing Hotel for coffee and to start to get to know each other and instantly I knew that this “Sarah and Sarah” team would have a lot of fun together!!

Sarah and Will chose Hutton House for their ceremony and reception. It was still very new when they booked the venue and they were excited about the outdoor space for the ceremony and the possibilities for decor at the venue. The wedding day proved to be one of the most stressful I have ever endured due to the weather. All day we had a 50-70% chance of rain and we decided to “go for it” and try and do the wedding outside. I have never checked my phone so much in one day… and Thankfully for us.. It did not rain.. NOT all day!!

Sarah loved all of the details.. She wanted a boxwood backdrop for photos, she loved the idea of hanging greenery and chandlier’s, she wanted a live band, We brought in a greenery motif on her invitations and day of stationery. But the thing that I will always remember most about Sarah is that she really focused on the things that mattered… Will, Her friends and her family and just really being present in the moment and taking in this ONE day that goes by so quickly!!!

I am just arriving back from a Thanksgiving Trip back home and it is always one of those trips that I come home refreshed and reflective of all of my blessings! 2018 has been another wonderful year filled with so much love, creativity and the hard work of hundreds and hundred of vendors and for that I am forever grateful!!  We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families!!

Now onto Demi and Ryan’s Beautiful wedding day!!! This one of many weddings we have a privilege of planning at Aria with a including Russell Heeter and Landon Oldenburger! 

Demi and Ryan hired us a year before their wedding and when they hired us, they already had most of their vendors reserved. Luckily for me, Demi had hired some of the best vendors in town and the rest of the planning was a dream! Because the couple lives out in Massachusetts we condensed all of our Decor and Design meetings into one big trip back into town and did all of the rest of the planning remotely! When the big day arrived, everything came together perfectly.. the only thing we could not predict was the ninety degree September weather! But even through all of the sweat, we had such a great time celebrating with this fantastic couple!

Planning a wedding from out of state is never an easy task.. and I guess that is why I have a JOB!! But with the help of Colleen (the wonderful mother of the bride!!) We were able to assist Nicole and Will with planning their dream wedding all while living in Michigan and only getting to come home for one planning meeting! We spent many hours face timing Nicole to ask her opinion and trying to explain things over email and what came together was a memorable night for everyone!!!

Eleven Bridesmaids and Groomsmen combined with 300 guests, food stations and dueling pianos really put the logistics of the wedding to the test.. but with the help of all of our GREAT vendors Nicole and Will’s wedding was fun, unique and a great celebration with all of their friends and family!!! Congratulations Nicole and Will!!
