STYLING y PLANNING Bringing in an event stylist and planner is key to ensure an event is filled with signature elements for your day and they are carried out from the invitations to the last farewell. Weddings and events are about celebrating, and although there are a few guidelines to consider (everyone needs food, drink, and fun) we have no preconceived notions as to how they should be designed and organized. Tell us about yourselves and your story, and we’ll find the ideal elements to create your event. Design, styling and planning services start at 10% of your wedding budget, with a minimum budget of $35,000. Intimate events or elopements start at $1,000.

We are happy to weigh in on your Pinterest board, create a mood board and color palette, advise on vendors, answer etiquette questions, help with an event time line, or anything else you may want to ask a wedding professional. Consulting is $75 per hour with a 6-hour minimum.

Our floral design can be done in house or we’ll work with the best local talent. All depends on the needs of the event. Floral design quotes are available upon request, just let us know your needs, color palette, date, and budget.
VEILS y HAIR ACCESSORIES Whether you prefer elegant and classic, or avant garde and dramatic, we create accessories and veils with the finest materials, and use vintage elements whenever possible.

Hair clips start at $75, headbands start at $200, small blusher or birdcage veils start at $65.

BELTS y SASHES The perfect sash or belt is all you need to personalize your wedding dress. Made to order in any size, color or finish, we use vintage ribbons, trims, and jewelry pieces in each of our one of a kind sashes. Feathers and tulle can add a bit of whimsy, and subtle or bold color brings it all together. Your groom’s neckwear and the base of your sash can be made from the same fabric, or bring us a grandmothers brooch to start the design process. Sashes start at $200.
