We wanted to design a chic garden wedding with a tropical twist with vibrant pinks, tangerines, and all the fruits in between

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Vanessa called me in June 2023, she was planning her wedding in April 2024 and needed a wedding planner. She was just like every other client, not sure where to start, but Vanessa also had a newborn baby and a full-time career. Vanessa had one BIG request for her intimate wedding, she asked me to please make it look “like a styled photo shoot” (by the way, this is every wedding planner’s DREAM CLIENT!!!) We spent a lot of time thinking about design and colors. We didn’t want the traditional wedding palette, we wanted a chic fun tropical vibe. She chose bold colors and tropical colorful flowers. The result had us smitten.
