Tip Tuesday | It’s your wedding week - so much to celebrate and so much fun to be had! Might I recommend a silly code word that you, your fiancé and your closest friends and family share? When one of you utters the word “artichoke” or whatever that word may be- stop, look around and take the moment in. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These moments are some of the most special moments of your life. Cherish each and every minute. Soak up the feelings, the people and the love. Don’t anticipate what is to come, but savor the present. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Image @bailey.pianalto 
Monday update | We had a great weekend celebrating my nieces wedding in Hay, KS! Now, it’s a full week as our team prepares for two NSE weddings. Wedding week is full of packing lists, picking up stationery from the printer, alphabetizing escort cards and final logistic calls and emails. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Image @brianneelizabethphoto Floral @wedinkc Rentals @ultrapom Linen @bbjlinen 
Cake, cake, cake | What is your flavor for wedding cake? Classic wedding or something a bit more unexpected like funfetti or salted caramel with chocolate? Image @ashleyicephotos Cake @andrea_classiccakes China @goodstuffchina 
Bridal gowns by day and princess gowns by night | What a dream today was and so very much needed. As a planner, I love assembling and orchestrating a team of professionals to make unforgettable and beautiful events. It takes a team, multiple creative thinkers and logistical ideas to pull off a successful event. And today, we had a terrific team that brought their unbelievable talent to create so much beauty. I am so grateful for each of you and the time we shared today // @ashleyicephotos @goodearthfloral @andrea_classiccakes @goodstuffchina @kansascityclub @ultrapom @theposhkc @potapenkoyanchenko 
On Mondays, Kennedy is my sidekick. We run errands, prep for upcoming photo shoots and weddings and occasionally lunch with our triplet cousins. In the car, we sing Wheels on the Bus, Let it Go and I Love My Country. As a little girl, I accompanied my aunt, Gram and mom at work. I loved watching them interact with customers, stock shelves and design monthly newsletters. I want Kennedy to know she can do whatever she wants to do- the world is her oyster. And I pray that she finds joy in whatever she does, just as the generations of women did before her. 
Walking into the weekend and looking forward to all the excitement to come this wedding season. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Image @lauragordon Floral @wedinkc Planning @nelliesparkman Venue @hotelpresident1926 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
