Where do I begin?
One of the best days of my life was seeing my sister get married! Leading up to that day was a busy time full of planning, designing, and crafting. With the help of the bridesmaids, we were able to make so many beautiful elements to help make this day feel special for Kara and Lance.

 

It ended up raining the entire day, but cleared up just in time for the guests to arrive! The whole day couldn't have happened without all of our friends and family's help assembling, decorating, and baking (while we relaxed and got fancified for the ceremony). It was a perfect day.

 

Kara had a vague vision for what she wanted, but being her sister, I helped her make decisions without any panic attacks ensuing (because I know her so well!). Their wedding was held at The Inn at Oneonta, a beautiful venue that is set on 25 acres of land in northern Kentucky, directly on the Ohio River. The grounds of the venue hold a gazebo in a quiet field that looks onto the river for outdoor ceremonies, an old mansion, a guest cottage, and a huge reception area with a chapel. The whole venue is overflowing with decades of stories to tell. We chose to keep the decorative elements simple and elegant with small pops of color to compliment the rustic character of the venue.

 

I designed their invitation set, as well as created hand-lettered signs and table numbers guests would encounter throughout the evening. I also helped craft the experience, from the bridal party attire to the decorative elements to ensure a holistic experience for the event.
