January 2012
I was fortunate to attend the
Alt Summit in
Salt Lake City, Utah. I attended alongside a few planner friends -
Ali, Candice and
Stephanie from various cities around the country.
Candice from Jubilee Events and I took a quick trip up to Park City for
Sundance Film Festival. It was amazing! You can see a few of our
snowy pics on my Instagram feed here. If you ever have the chance to attend this
film festival go! It was such a wonderful experience and I can't wait to get back one of these days.
February 2012
We were asked to style two booths at the Central Ohio Home & Garden Show. I love the designs we came up with. The first booth was a Sweet 16 party theme and the second booth was a 1st Birthday circus theme. The milestone birthday themed and tied to areas and different history items in Columbus and tie into the Bicentennial of Columbus. You can see the booths
here and

September 2012
Our fall was moving full steam ahead!
We started the month with Sean & Stephanie's wedding at Sean's parent's house in Delaware Ohio. This was a gorgeous tented wedding that was so unique and true to Sean and Steph's playful personalities!
Every year we volunteer our services to the Short North Civic Association's Home and Garden Tour. This was my 11th year helping plan the preview event. Seventh Son's Brewing Company was our host for the night and it was so exciting to get a sneak peak of the great new location here in the Short North.
Sarah & Dan walked down the aisle at St Brigid of Kildare and then celebrated with friends and family at Muirfiled Village Golf Club. It was a great day, but mother nature was not very cooperative. Cold temps, strong winds and a power outage made for an interesting evening....but we were so prepared and the party went on and was just perfect!
October 2012
We were off for the month of October so I took advantage of a few days to run away to Walt Disney World with my little guys. It was such a fun trip to see the magic of Disney and what magical moments we created and will keep with us always. This is one of the boys favorite photos from our trip. That's my dad and I diving the Living Seas in EPCOT. They boys were beyond excited and I could actually hear the through the thick glass wall. One of my favorite moments EVER.

Shannon and Benji were married on November 10th at St Joseph Cathedral and then celebrated with their guests at the Ohio Statehouse. Their wedding had a little bit of Panamanian flair to it and was such a unqiue experience for everyone in attendance.
November 17th was wedding day for Elizabeth and Johnny! They said I do and celebrated with their families at Darby House in a heartfelt and intimate wedding.

We started the month with Emily and James' wedding at the Athletic Club of Columbus. It was a beautiful Christmas inspired affair with fun touches like real live mistletoe. This was their 2nd wedding in one week. Their 1st wedding was earlier in the week in London England!
