This is not a pause.⁠
This is a vow to do better.⁠
⁠
I have found many antiracist resources online, but sometimes knowing where to start is the hardest part. ⁠
⁠
But we just need to dive in, so I'm sharing the educational resources and tools I'm exploring THIS week in hopes that it might encourage others:⁠
⁠
- Read "The Skin You Live in" By: Michael Tyler and David Lee and start discussing race with my toddlers⁠
- Read "How to Be an Antiracist" by: Ibram X Kendi⁠
(both books purchased from @semicolonchi)⁠
- Subscribe to the Code Switch Podcast⁠
- Listen to the stories and voices of these people: @rachel.cargle @theconsciouskid @audrelordeproject @ibramxk @ckyourprivilege @elainewelteroth @privtoprog ⁠
⁠
This is just Step One. I know this is a lifelong opportunity to listen, learn, and take action. Join me.⁠

We know wedding guests don't need an excuse to visit the bar, but this menu display invited guests to linger a bit longer as they ordered cocktails. ⁠
⁠
Great design in my opinion is that fine line of juxtaposition between opposing colors, textures, and finishes. This display is that sweet spot of hard vs soft / warm vs cool. ⁠

One of my favorite details from one of my favorite weddings. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Swipe for details of this gorgeous escort display that included huge acrylic panels with guest names + blooms and foliage artfully arranged by @ashleyfoxdesigns.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I had dreamed up and sketched this display during our design process, but the real-life version was way beyond my expectations. We're fortunate to get to collaborate with some really talented artists.⁠⠀

Who doesn't love BEFORE and AFTER photos?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Spending so much time at home has really got me thinking about how transformative interior design can be in terms of mood and energy. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We purchased our colonial home in 2012, and we have been slowly renovating every square inch of the property since then. Our first project was the living room which was a complete DIY. Even 8 years later, the living room is still my favorite room in the house. As I spend more time there watching the boys build pillow forts on the couch and Lego battleships on the leather ottoman, I appreciate how the room's design makes me feel calm and cozy. The light from the four windows in the living room makes our home feel less enclosed. It's almost liberating in a time when I sometimes feel "caged in".⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The kitchen gut job was our next big project. I was pregnant with Arthur at the time, so we brought in professionals to completely change the footprint of the room.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠During quarantine, I've appreciated the intentional design decisions we've made to make our home more functional for our family. I seek comfort in those little things. Is there a room, paint color, artwork, furniture piece, or something else in your home that provides a sense of calm and comfort? ⁠⠀

Emily and Joey's french garden-inspired wedding design was anchored by a clear-top tent on the front lawn of Happy Hollow Country Club in Omaha. We wanted to get the most out of the space, so we designed the tent to be dual-purpose for cocktail hour and for dancing. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Our team handed guests their escort cards from the seating assignment display which combined custom-welded metal trellises adorned with confederate jasmine, linen-backed frames, custom vellum pockets with white printing, and hand-lettered escort cards. Guests were then directed inside the tent to grab drinks from the bar or lounge on the vintage furniture. The tent structure was softened with grey draping and a six foot wide crystal chandelier which added to the to the intimate, garden ambiance.⁠⠀

Wedding season is what we live for, and this year is no exception. We're just having to delay that gratification a few months.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We're so thankful for the opportunity to do what we love every single day. There may be crazy days and long nights (and unexpected pandemics), but there's nothing we'd rather be doing than working with couples to create one-of-a-kind wedding experiences for our clients and their guests.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We're still working behind-the-scenes to fine-tune every last detail for our next few weddings. In the meantime, we'll leave you with views of one of our favorite lounge spaces.⁠⠀

Organization is my self-care.⁠
Sounds weird to some, but I'll explain.⁠
⁠
But first:⁠
How are you guys doing? Have the last few WEEKS felt like MONTHS to you too?⁠
⁠
I'm sure most of you have rode a rollercoaster of emotions as we try to navigate this pandemic as adults/parents/ partners/business owners. ⁠
⁠
Even before the world was turned upside down by COVID-19, I have used organization as a self-care tool. I feel most comfortable when my home is tidy and my junk drawers are junk-less. I feel empowered when I only keep what I use and donate everything else. I am filled with a sense of calm when everything truly has a "home" because in a world where I'm constantly multi-tasking, I never have to think about where to find something. ⁠
⁠
I listened to a podcast about simplifying your life and reducing the number of decisions you have to make each day, so that your brain has more capacity to take on other challenging situations (such as how to postpone 7 weddings and keep 7 couples, 14 families, and countless vendors calm, cool and collected as our team charges into the unknown). ⁠
⁠
Some people invest in face creams or massages. But as a way to maintain a sense of emotional and mental wellbeing, I invest time and money into organizing my home (I love you @thecontainerstore) and my brain (I love you @shopwitanddelight planner).⁠
⁠
If this resonates with you, but you don't know where to start, reach out to @joanna_organize She has amazing tips and services that will bring more calm to your home. We need it now more than ever. ⁠

The meet-cute!⁠⠀ Although it's a Hollywood term to describe the first encounter of two characters that fall in love, we use this endearing term to learn more about our couples and how they first met. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We've heard many stories from the 200+ couples we've worked with, and as many of them involve a chance-encounter, you can't help but think that fate plays apart in a lot of these relationships.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Betsy and Ryan met on a crisp Spring night in the bride's hometown. In a moment of kismet, they saw each other from across the bar and their connection couldn't be denied. They talked for hours outside on a park bench. The budding trees and delicate blooms around them became the perfect inspiration for their Spring wedding day, two years later. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When we design a wedding, we love pulling inspiration from unique elements of the couple's story. Sometimes it's a date or place of their first meeting. Others, it's their favorite travel destination or time of year. No matter what, we strive to design a wedding ceremony and reception that is unique to each couple.⁠⠀

This time last year we were moving our entire office/design showroom to our new location. We had to strategically place items in the new space. The old lease was expired, but the build-out for the new office wasn't complete (it was running 8 weeks behind). After we had moved all of our office items and inventory, there was a huge roof leak and massive amounts of water poured into our new space. This all took place as we were starting a 7 week sprint of back-to-back weddings. Upon reflection, the magnitude of work we took on during this time was almost comical.⁠
⁠
The reason I bring this up is - as a small business you are constantly climbing mountains. As soon as you reach the peak and conquer a new challenge, the mountain grows taller and the stakes get higher as you become a more established business. ⁠
⁠
Lindsay and I quickly accepted that this constant climb is a signal that we're doing something right. We're growing. We're evolving. And we're discovering new ways to better serve our clients. ⁠
⁠
For example, just as we had wrapped up an unexpected and complicated project in February, COVID-19 popped up and declared itself our current "mountain". We buckled down, and each day we put one foot in front of the other. It's definitely not easy to navigate these uncertain times, but I trust in our experience to guide us, and ⁠I'm lucky to have these ladies (pictured here) by my side. ⁠
⁠
I hope this is a friendly reminder to support local small businesses. I'm sure this pandemic is just one of the many challenges they are currently facing, and they could use our support. ⁠
⁠
I love to start my week brainstorming which Omaha restaurants I'm going to order takeout from. Send me your suggestions/give your favorites a shoutout in the comments!⁠

I have EXCITING news! Margie Merchant has joined the Lovestruck team as an Associate Planner. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I was first introduced to Margie a few years ago when she was working for a local production company that we hired for our events. I immediately noticed her intense work ethic and ability to problem solve. Since then, Margie has built a successful wedding planning business. We reconnected over coffee and two hours zoomed by as we discussed our business values and the importance of clear communication, documentation, and process. It was during that meeting that I knew she would be the perfect addition to our team. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Margie has started to accept late-2020 and 2021 clients, and we cannot wait to see the events she produces. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Also - head over to our website to see our new headshots! A big thank you to @jessicablex for always making us look like we get 8+ hours of sleep every night. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Scrolling through the photos of my team gives me so much pride. Although I'm sad that we won't be together producing our originally-scheduled Spring weddings, I know that when the gathering ban is lifted, our team will come together with an even greater passion to produce our clients' weddings. I am so hopeful that this pandemic will remind people how important it is to celebrate love and to celebrate each other. ⁠⠀

A well-designed escort display should be functional AND contribute to the client's overall design vision. When designing seating assignments, we consider:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
- Location: How are guests flowing through the wedding spaces? Where will our Event Assistants be able to connect with all of the wedding guests to direct them to their tables? With Betsy and Ryan's Friday wedding, their guests arrived from the ceremony, were greeted with cocktails and canapés as they walked through the Sculpture Garden, and then moved directly into the dinner tent. We used their escort display to delineate the entrance of the tent, and our Event Assistants were able to efficiently guide guests to their dining tables.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
- Form: Is the display a poster or collection of individual cards? What works better for the event format? What will work best with the overall design? Because Betsy and Ryan's guests would encounter the display as they were walking into the dining space, we knew a poster would be best. We like to use individual cards if the guests will view the display at the beginning of cocktail hour and will need to be reminded of their table assignment as they move into the dinner space roughly 45 minutes later. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
- Design: How can the display add to the overall wedding design? What will feel cohesive with the other design elements? For Betsy + Ryan's wedding, guest names were hand-lettered on soft cotton paper. The posters hung on shepherd's hooks that were tucked into large wooden planters filled with dogwood and seasonal greens. ⁠⠀

Stop and smell the roses!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We love creating a unique entrance. Rather than walking straight to the tent from the museum parking lot, we invited Betsy + Ryan's wedding guests to take a scenic route to the clear top reception tent. Guests were greeted with signature cocktails and passed canapés as they walked through Joslyn Art Museum's sculpture garden. At the end of the garden, guests were guided with a lantern-lit path to the tent as an acoustic guitar played in the background. The sun set as guests sat down to dinner underneath soft patio bulbs strung from the tent.⁠⠀

Designing a focal point for a tent wedding is always one of our most challenging (but also our most-loved) design tasks. Brooke and Harrison's wedding was no exception. Inside their sailcloth tent, we installed thirty woven wire pendant lights swirled with whimsical baby’s breath clouds. They were suspended over the dance floor, creating a unique focal point and offering additional light once the sun set.⁠⠀

Guests spend a majority of a wedding around their dining table. That's why it's important that no detail be overlooked. From the plates & flatware to the table numbers & centerpieces - we aim to excite all of the guests' senses when designing a tablescape.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
At Brooke and Harrison's wedding, metallic silver linens with a birch bark pattern adorned the tables. Matte grey ceramic chargers stacked with hand-painted glass plates added depth to the place settings along with two-toned gold flatware and letterpress menus. Centerpieces included the unique mix of wedding blooms and were arranged with artful flower offshoots for a “shooting star” effect.⁠⠀

Cocktails, anyone? 🍸
One of our favorite wedding elements to design is the bar. At Brooke and Harrison's wedding, we created a mesh-front bar with hand-painted stars and moons. The bar signage was customized with metallic twine strung with a hand-painted ceramic bead.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
After the ceremony, guests moved to the cocktail hour site where they were offered passed wine and signature moscow mules along with an assortment of savory bites.⁠ We sourced linen aprons embellished with celestial starburst pins for the wait staff to wear on the wedding day. Drinks were passed on petrified wood trays, a nod to the ceremony site art installation.⁠⠀

We're all about a GRAND entrance! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Guests at Brooke and Harrison's wedding were welcomed into a sailcloth dinner tent by a floral arch featuring lunar-inspired painted discs and handmade wire mesh flowers. The tent overlooked fields of native grasses and various art installations, a perfect backdrop as the sun set and dinner was served.⁠⠀

One of my favorite bridal bouquets of all time!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The color palette for Brooke and Harrison's Lincoln, NE wedding was a surprising combination of warm autumnal tones including taupe, mauve, and rust mixed with pastel cool tones to tie in the ethereal qualities of Brooke’s wedding gown. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The wedding flowers from @bouquetomaha included koko loko garden roses, butterfly ranunculus, and lisianthus in the warm tones with pops of periwinkle scabiosa and lavender delphinium, Japanese anemone and toad lily.⁠⠀

The most magical wedding day at a one-of-a-kind location. Does it get any better?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Brooke and Harrison were married at a private property in Lincoln last September. Their wedding was inspired by an art installation at the wedding site – a 25′ tall stainless steel tree entitled Dada by Supodh Gupta. ⁠Brooke knew she wanted to be married at the base of the tree, so we designed their wedding celebration to complement the hyper-reflective and mythological qualities of the art piece.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Brooke wore a custom Hayley Paige gown with a lavender-grey Dori skirt and appliqué Pascal top. The bridesmaids wore Amsale Eden gowns in Dove to complement Brooke’s voluminous skirt.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We loved combining metallic finishes, celestial references, and design elements that felt both organic and ethereal to create a one-of-a-kind look for Brooke and Harrison's wedding day!⁠⠀

February is for LOVERS... and for celebrating a few Lovestruck Babes and Babies.
We have a lot of birthdays sprinkled throughout the next few weeks, and it all starts with Ira on the 12th. My little guy is turning 2. He is still my sweet, dense little meatball with a big appetitize for snacks and snuggles.
Shelby's daughter Blakely turns 3 on the 15th. She's still rocking her lavender glasses and loves dancing and singing. She's our adorable little dose of female in our now five-strong Lovestruck baby boy band.
Peyton's bithday falls on the 17th. She has become an integral part of our wedding planning team and our intense Bachelor recaps on Tuesday mornings 🙂 Lindsay's oldest son Henry turns 5 on the 19th. This once sassy toddler has developed into a big-hearted kid. His consideration for others (and dramatic photo posing skills) will truly melt your heart.
We close out the birthdays with Lindsay on the 28th. As you all know, my sister means the world to me. This year I'm making her a @sweetlaurelbakery German Chocolate Cake. I'm crossing my fingers I can make a cake that doesn't dramatically lean to one side, but I can't promise there won't be up to four sets of little fingerprints decorating the icing. #chocolatecake

We loved the mix of colors and textures in Maggie + Ben's place settings. The charger and flatware from @ultrapom paired perfectly with the linens from @bbjlinen. We finished each place setting with a custom menu. These menus served a dual purpose as place cards, with ink color denoting each guest's meal choice. Bright, airy centerpieces from @bouquet tied the whole look together. We love being able to design a unique place setting that enhances the guest experience.⁠⠀

The invitation suite is a guest's first sneak peek at the wedding design. When designing a wedding, we purposefully pull various elements from the venue, centerpieces, and other creative elements into each piece of stationery.⁠
⁠
The invitation suite for Maggie + Matthew's Aspen wedding mixed the feeling of organic and ethereal. It included the couple’s names hand-lettered with exaggerated glyphs that formed the shape of fruit and birds. The envelope liner was foiled onto textured, silver metallic paper with a pattern pulled from an altar mural. The shape of the die-cut detail cards was inspired by a motif that repeated across the walls of the church’s nave. The paper suite was accented with a soft mist color - the same color woven through the design in elements such as the bridesmaid gowns and custom chinoiserie murals adorning the reception.⁠
