• Happy One Year K & J! Every single element of your wedding day was the epitome of Kasey- effortlessly stunning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Kasey and Jeff's hearts are bigger than one can accurately describe. They made each and every guest, old and young, feel loved and valued on their toasty July wedding day. Wildflower inspired florals by @wedinkc incorporated the couple's love for their home in Colorado. @ultrapom yard games in the @feastsoffancy courtyard was a fun way for guests to mingle during cocktail hour. It was a memorable day filled with much love, laughter and happiness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'll never forget the toast Kasey's sister shared, which wraps up so much of the day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you spell 'love'? - Piglet You don't spell it... you feel it- Pooh ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo @laurafoote Florals @wedinkc Gown @danelli_bridal

  • Scooting out for the weekend (see what I did there?!). This weekend, we are *hopefully* taking a quick road trip to look at travel trailers. Josh and I have always talked about seeing the Nation on the road after we retire. Due to Covid, we are both in a position that we we can work from anywhere! What places should we add to our “must travel” destinations? Photography @brianneelizabethphoto Florals @wedinkc Gown @emilyhartbridal

  • I am not sure how long I have been talking about launching @ns.stationery website, but it really is coming! I have figured out how to make my website "shop-able" and now working to get all the collections loaded. August 1 people. I'm mainly saying that out into the open to hold me accountable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Aside from wedding invitations, what else would you like to see in the Nellie Sparkman Stationery Shoppe?

  • I am honored to have many of our former bridesmaids become Nellie Sparkman Events Brides. Beth was one of these former Bridesmaids this past June. It is hard to believe that we were sending Beth down the aisle to her high school sweetheart a year ago today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Timelessly stunning details graced the weekend. From a vintage red getaway rehearsal car to grandma's heirloom cake topper, this wedding was certainly memorable one! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy one year anniversary, Beth and Bo! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Planning + Design @nelliesparkman Photography @larkphoto Venue @madridtheatre Floral @goodearthfloral

  • Prepping for N and M’s wedding today looks a bit different than most weddings. In fact, all weddings are different that what my team and I have accustomed to for the past decade. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But- as I sit on the back pew of Redemptorist, I can’t help but feel so grateful. Grateful for a husband who is lovingly hanging out with the kids today. Grateful for a career that I only dreamed of that became a reality. Grateful for the ability to work, despite the uncertain times. Grateful to celebrate love. Grateful for a team of gals that I love dearly and have gone above and beyond always. Grateful for sunshine. Grateful for our couple’s and their families- for their trust and love.

  • One of the aspects I love most about being a wedding planner are the people- our couples, their families and our vendor partners. Despite these crazy times, I was thrilled to be back in my element this past Friday at F & E's wedding. What isn't always depicted in the beautiful photos and Instagram highlight reel is the real behind the scenes and the work that goes into making a 24 hour wedding day seamless. Earlier last week, I began experiencing many Covid-19 symptoms. I called upon a fellow wedding planner who some may view as a competitor, but I view as one of my closest friends. She was willing to jump in, no questions asked should I not be present last Friday. My team and our vendor partners were willing to step up to the plate, whatever it took. Thankfully, my Covid results came back negative just hours before we were due to set up The Hilton President. I am so incredibly grateful for the Kansas City Wedding Community that jumps up to help one another, no questions asked. We laughed behind our masks, but I sure missed seeing everyone's smiles. Hearing the heart behind the Father of the Bride's toast as he talked about holding his baby girl, just moments after her birth and seeing the F&E kiss for the first time as husband and wife was a bright light in these uncertain days.
