Color Scheme + Aesthetic
Dusty blue, French blue, greens, and neutrals. Classic with a vintage twist.
Favorite Décor Elements
Y&Y incorporated so many beautiful vintage elements and furniture pieces into their wedding and then topped them off with overflowing florals.
Favorite Moment
We didn’t know if Y’s family would be able to be there until the week before their wedding, so sending her down the aisle with her father was an especially sweet experience.

It’s not often that I get an inquiry for a Tuesday wedding, so when I do, I am in!
Y&Y had already spent a lot of time planning and designing their Thornewood Castle wedding by the time they asked me to join their team, but I am so happy + honored that I had the opportunity to be a part of something so meaningful! Y (the bride) grew up in China, but is in the States to get her double masters - she is ridiculously intelligent and has a way of being both kind and graceful, while also commanding the room. Our meetings were unique in that I had the privilege of learning so much more about her culture, and also about the Visa system; for most of our time working together, we did not know if her parents would be allowed into the US for their wedding, due to the intensive visitation process. Luckily, the week before their celebration, Y was given confirmation that they would be able to be there, but I remember being shocked at the idea that any person would not be able to have their parents at their wedding, and promptly added that to the list of stressors I wish I could fix as a wedding planner. Logistics and aesthetic are important, but family is everything.
On the aesthetic side of things - it’s hard to make a castle wedding even more magical than it already is, but Y&Y’s day was nothing short of stunning, complete with vintage furniture for their welcome table and seating chart, and gorgeous floral elements via the infinitely talented Kelly of Botanique. Guests ate delicious food from Twelve Baskets Catering, and then finished off the night with cake from Honey Crumb Cake Studio, dancing, and the most perfect golden hour by the lake. Every detail was carefully hand-chosen by Y, so that every guest would feel they were given the royal treatment. It was truly a wedding to remember.
All my love to Y&Y!
