The new Restoration 1894 is a breathtaking venue that has been restored back to its original luster and charm. Original hard wood floors, tin ceilings and crown molding make this the place for any event looking for a timeless look. With touches of raspberries,wine, plums and pinks with touches of oak and fern this was a feast for the eyes. A stunning gown by Modern Trousseau, the Windsor from Altar Bridal.

European Elopement Shoot

Finding a Hidden old ruins is always fun but being able to bring it alive was magical. Over grown wisteria vines, arched gateways, broken ground and climbing columns with stairs that disappeared into a lake of water are just some of the amazing surroundings we were able to work around. In lavenders, gray blues and touches of pink for a soft color palette and the addition of white draping an old mantel a simple dinner table for two. This created the perfect look.  Add a lovely cake to share with close friends and family and you can have a perfect elopement.

Spring Photo Shoot

One of the amazing thing about social media is that you are able to find and follow other artists that have similar interests. They are capable of inspiring you as your closest friends would even though you have never met. So imagine my delight, when a photographer all the way from Colorado who I had been following via Instagram, who's work and design style left me feeling so creative contacted me. Meghan Savage Photography had recently moved to Kansas City from Colorado and was looking to work with someone. Elated! I said of course, and together we designed this stunning Spring photo shoot with the help of a few additional new, and old friends. When asked who I would recommend for a cake, of course it would have to be my dear friend and colleague Andrea Britt with Classic Cakes. Also helping out was Alter Bridal, One Sparrow Creative, and Natalie Navis. So encouraged and learned much, I can't wait to work with all of them again.

We had so much fun putting together this nautical wedding inspiration shoot. We are now adding event stylist to our job description.
