The Theme

Olivia rang in her 5th birthday celebration with an “Aged 5 Years” themed-party, a playful and creative day inspired by her love of all things cheese. Planned and designed by Taylor Kayes of Alegre Rentals & Design, the theme was woven throughout every detail, from the invitations and menus to the place cards and custom drink stirrers. Equal parts whimsical and fun, the celebration perfectly captured the excitement of turning five while embracing the charm of a beautifully aged favorite.

The Details

With the theme setting the tone for the day, Olivia’s love of cheese came to life in the most charming way. What could have been a simple party became a thoughtfully designed 5th birthday celebration filled with playful details and clever nods to a classic fromagerie. Everywhere guests looked, there were fun touches that brought the theme to life while still feeling perfectly suited for a five-year-old. The result? A party that felt creative, personal, and completely unforgettable…just like Olivia herself!

The Refreshments

After taking in all of the thoughtful details, guests made their way to one of the sweetest parts of the celebration: the refreshments. A beautifully curated drink station served up custom beverages that were every bit as playful as the theme itself.

From the “Little Gouda Sunshine” to the “Berry Cheese Lemonade”, each drink featured a clever, cheese-inspired name that had guests smiling before they even took their first sip. It was a fun and refreshing way to kick off Olivia’s big day.

The Main Course

Once everyone had a drink in hand, it was time for the main event: the pasta bar. Staying true to the theme, the menu was filled with comforting, cheese-filled favorites that were a hit with guests of all ages. From creamy, cheesy pasta dishes to other crowd-pleasing bites, the spread perfectly captured Olivia’s love of all things cheese. It was the kind of meal that had everyone going back for seconds…and maybe even thirds!

The Sweet Treats

After guests indulged in their favorite pasta dish, it was time for dessert…and it did not disappoint! A charming sweets station featured an assortment of treats, including a beautifully styled cheesecake display arranged on charcuterie boards as a playful nod to the theme.

And, of course, the star of the dessert table was Olivia’s cheese-themed birthday cake. Both adorable and delicious, it was the perfect sweet ending to a celebration centered around her favorite things!

All About Fun!

Just beyond the sweet treats, pasta bar, and refreshments stood the main attraction: Olivia’s very own “Fromagerie”. This custom-themed bounce house quickly became the heart of her 5th birthday celebration, drawing  in everyone for hours of laughter, jumping, and nonstop fun. It was the perfect playful centerpiece, bringing Olivia’s cheese-inspired birthday vision to life!

From the clever “Aged 5 Years” theme to the sweet and savory treats, Olivia’s birthday celebration was a reminder that the most memorable parties are the ones that reflect what a child loves most. Every detail came together to create a day that felt playful, personal, and full of joy for both Olivia and her guests.

The Bride

For her wedding day, Ariana wore a gorgeous off-the-shoulder lace gown with a structured corset bodice that beautifully complemented her silhouette. Romantic yet modern, the dress perfectly fit with the venue’s setting of an intimate vineyard wedding, where elegance and natural beauty worked seamlessly together. She paired the look with a cathedral-length veil, letting the intricate lace and sculpted mermaid shape take the main focus.

The Ceremony

With the romantic tone already set, Ariana and TJ exchanged vows against the Spanish-style architecture of Melville Winery in a ceremony that felt timeless and effortlessly beautiful. Ariana’s grandmother walked her down the aisle, beautifully lined with delicate white rose petals, while sprawling vineyard vines naturally framed the ceremony space like an organic archway. Rather than over-designing the setting, the design leaned into the natural beauty of the surroundings, allowing the intimate vineyard wedding atmosphere to feel organic and heartfelt.

Just Married

Fresh off saying “I do” from their gorgeous ceremony, Ariana and TJ wandered through the vineyard with that unmistakable just-married glow. Their venue was not just a beautiful spot for a celebration but especially meaningful to the bride. After five years as the winery’s marketing consultant, Ariana always knew she wanted to be married there, even though Melville had never hosted a wedding. When co-founder Chad Melville finally said yes, it felt like a dream realized, setting the stage for an unforgettable celebration.

The Reception

Heading into the reception, Ariana and TJ traded a traditional reception for what felt like one unforgettable Italian-inspired dinner party set among the vines. A single long table for all 80 guests encouraged everyone to gather, pass plates family-style, pour another glass of Melville wine, and linger in the moment together. Overhead chandeliers added a soft touch of glamour, while cream linens, trailing green vines, and understated tableware kept the atmosphere feeling timeless yet relaxed.

The Celebration

As the evening unfolded, the celebration continued with the same free-flowing energy that defined their intimate vineyard wedding. Rather than building the evening around a packed reception schedule, Ariana and TJ created a celebration that felt easygoing and completely centered on their guests. There were no formal dances or timelines – just great wine, music, and a dance floor that stayed full all night long. By the end of the night, Ariana and TJ were dancing on top of the reception tables surrounded by their favorite people, closing out the celebration in the most joyful, carefree way possible.

As Ariana and TJ’s intimate vineyard wedding came to a close, the celebration lingered in the kind of joy no one was quite ready to leave behind. From the first toast to the final song played, the entire day felt like a seamless representation of who they are – warm, welcoming, and full of life.

The Details

The stationery, designed by Prettiest Pixel and Crane & Palette Bridal, set the tone for the rest of this Palm Beach wedding, carrying a palette of mauve, blush, and soft pink accented with forest green for an old-world feel. Custom watercolor illustrations of the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum were woven throughout, thoughtfully tying every detail back to the special place itself.

Another deeply special detail came in the form of the groom’s gift to the bride: a shadow box holding the receipt from their first date, the tie he wore that night, and a heartfelt note sharing that from the moment they met, he knew Jordan would one day be his wife. Sentimental and deeply personal, it perfectly encapsulated the love story they had built together.

The Bride

Continuing the romantic, old-world feel woven throughout this Palm Beach wedding, Jordan wore a romantic off-the-shoulder lace BERTA gown featuring a structured corseted bodice, long illusion lace sleeves, and a full floral lace skirt. The silhouette felt timeless yet fashion-forward, perfectly complementing the old-world atmosphere woven throughout the celebration.

Private Vows

Before the day fully unfolded, Jordan and Taylor took a few quiet moments to themselves to exchange private vows. Surrounded by the excitement of friends and family, the intimate pause allowed both of them to reflect on the journey that had led them to this moment together.

The Ceremony

As guests gathered and the celebration formally began, the ceremony took place at the Basilica of St. Edward, where the historic architecture set the tone for the rest of this Palm Beach wedding. Lush florals in mauve, blush, and soft pink were layered with natural greenery and designed to frame the stone archways and grand entry doors, softening the space while enhancing its old-world character. Organic floral installations felt as though they grew directly from the architecture, creating a romantic, refined setting that felt deeply connected to the beauty of the venue.

Just Married

Following the ceremony, Jordan and Taylor stepped away together in a quiet pause before cocktail hour, still taking in the fact that they were newly married. One of the most meaningful moments came from a small tradition they had shared throughout their relationship – Jordan gently fixing Taylor’s collar every day without fail. She did it again in that in-between moment, a simple, familiar gesture that felt grounding in the middle of everything, and spoke to the quiet tenderness between them.

Cocktail Hour

Transitioning into cocktail hour, the rest of the day unfolded with an easy sense of sophistication, continuing the whimsical, museum-inspired feel of this Palm Beach wedding. Guests enjoyed tray-passed champagne and elegant bite-sized hors d’oeuvres while mingling and easing into the celebration ahead of the evening.

The Reception

As evening set in, Jordan and Taylor’s vision was fully brought to life by Events by Elle, creating a romantic ‘Night at the Museum’ atmosphere set within the storied architecture of the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum. Candlelight, historic stone arches, iron details, and soaring ceilings created a moody, elegant backdrop that felt both grand and intimate in equal measure.

Long banquet tables were styled with soft linens and lush florals in mauve, blush, and soft pink, layered with natural greenery and arranged alongside rows of tall white tapers in classic candelabras. Organic floral installations framed key architectural moments as though they were growing directly from the space itself, resulting in a reception that felt intentional, atmospheric, and deeply connected to this Palm Beach wedding.

The Celebration

As the reception carried into the night, Jordan and Taylor danced the night away surrounded by their closest family and friends, fully immersed in the joy of their celebration. The energy remained high, closing out the day with a warm, heartfelt sense of togetherness as everyone gathered to celebrate the newlyweds.

As the celebration carried into the night, Jordan and Taylor closed out their Palm Beach wedding surrounded by the people who mattered most, fully present in the joy of the day.

The Details

Beginning with the details, each one reflected Nicolette and Jon’s modern, glamorous style. The stationery suite introduced the celebration’s palette of whites, ivories, champagne tones, rich greens, and delicate gold accents, setting the tone for the elevated design carried throughout the celebration. Layered textures and thoughtful details gave the wedding a timeless feel with a fresh, contemporary edge. Inspired by a modern take on The Great Gatsby, the overall atmosphere felt refined, romantic, and effortlessly elegant.

The Bride

Carrying that same refined aesthetic into fashion, Nicolette’s bridal look perfectly reflected the modern glamour woven throughout the celebration. For the ceremony, she wore a strapless Kelly Faetanini gown featuring a structured, sculpted bodice paired with a sweeping cathedral-length veil that added a timeless elegance to the look. Later in the evening, she changed into a beaded Julie Vino reception gown that brought a more high-glam feel to the glamorous estate wedding while still feeling refined and sophisticated.

The Ceremony

From there, the celebration moved into a more traditional and meaningful setting for the vows. The ceremony took place inside a grand church, providing a timeless setting for Nicolette and Jon to officially become husband and wife. Lush arrangements of white roses, hydrangeas, stock, and trailing queen amaranthus softened the space while complementing the refined aesthetic of the celebration.

Just Married

Following the ceremony, the energy shifted into a quieter, more intimate moment for the newlyweds. Nicolette and Jon stepped into their first moments as a married couple, taking it all in together before rejoining their guests. On the grounds of Shadowbrook Estate, they shared quiet moments between the two of them as a vintage white Rolls-Royce waited nearby, adding a subtle Old Hollywood touch to the scene. The setting felt effortless and grounded, a natural pause in the flow of the day. From there, they slipped right back into the party!

The Reception

As evening set in, the celebration transitioned into a more elevated experience. Nicolette and Jon’s reception continued their modern, glamorous aesthetic, shaped by a refined “modern Gatsby” look and feel. Inside the ballroom, crystal chandeliers set the tone above tables dressed with layered glassware, gold accents, and personalized menu cards. Champagne flowed as guests settled in, bringing a relaxed, celebratory energy to the evening. White florals and trailing greenery softened the space, while candlelight across ivory linens added a warm, elegant finish.

The Celebration

The celebratory energy carried naturally into the final moments of the night. The wedding night continued with an easy, joyful energy, as Nicolette and Jon danced, surrounded by their closest friends and family. The couple closed out the night by cutting into a towering four-tier white cake finished with oversized sugar florals that echoed the refined design of the day.

The Details

For the bride, the fashion story carried that same sense of drama and intention. Sarah’s gown, by Australian designer KYHA from Alice in Ivory Dallas, brought the vision to life with a sculptural skirt and corseted bodice that felt both bold and refined. She later added removable off-the-shoulder straps to better align with her styling vision, striking the perfect balance of structure and softness. Keeping her look minimal, she layered in meaningful pieces, including her mother’s sapphire ring – an heirloom tied to her parents’ own love story.

The Couple

Beyond the details of the day, the celebration was rooted in a story that began long before this wedding in Dallas. Sarah and Brandon met on February 6, 2020, and after only three dates, the world went on lockdown and they’ve been inseparable ever since. Brandon, a self-described Texas “cowboy” from Victoria, Texas working in oil and gas finance, complemented Sarah, a Dallas transplant originally from Hudson, Ohio perfectly. At home, they share life with their ragdoll cat, Cashew who quietly appeared throughout the day in personal details.

The Bridesmaids

That same sense of meaning carried through to the bridal party. Each bridesmaid carried a single-bloom bouquet, thoughtfully designed to feature one flower pulled from the larger floral story of the day. Individually, each stem stood on its own as a quiet nod to the importance of every woman standing beside the bride. Together, they created a cohesive visual moment that reflected unity, support, and understated beauty.

The Ceremony

All of those layered details came into focus as the day led into the ceremony. It rained all day….until it didn’t. Just before the ceremony, the skies opened and the sun emerged over The Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, setting the stage for an unforgettable moment. 

Beneath the willow tree and beside the fountain, an open-air chuppah framed the ceremony, filled with moody florals that felt even more striking against the rain-washed landscape. A violin and acoustic guitar duo, Serenata Strings, set the tone as the couple honored both Jewish and Christian traditions with a ketubah signing, glass breaking, and a celebratory Hora.

The Cocktail Hour

As guests transitioned from the ceremony into cocktail hour, the tone of the celebration naturally shifted, unfolding into the next chapter of this wedding in Dallas. A custom toile featuring their cat, Cashew, appeared across bar wraps and printed details, adding a subtle personal thread to the experience. Set against moody florals and rain-washed textures, the space carried an effortless sense of transition into the evening.

The Reception

As evening set in, the reception took on the feeling of a moody dinner party meets gallery opening. Designed in deep plum, maroon, and minimal white, the space felt rich, atmospheric, and intimate. With rain still shaping the day, the design adapted beautifully, featuring a long head table lined with dark linens, candlelight, and low textural floral arrangements. The result was a setting that felt cinematic yet warm, with every detail working in harmony.

The Celebration

As the night continued, the focus shifted fully to the dance floor, where guests kept the energy going well into the evening. Brandon’s signature dance moves made their expected appearance, setting the tone for a packed, high-energy floor from start to finish. After leaving The Nasher, guests made their way to the JW Marriott, where the celebration continued in a more relaxed, late-night setting with cocktails and conversation.

By the end of the night, this wedding in Dallas had transformed from a rain-soaked forecast into a celebration defined by meaningful moments, thoughtful design, and deeply personal details. What unfolded throughout the day came together in a way that felt layered, emotional, and entirely true to the couple.

A Vision in Pink

For Lola’s Bat Mitzvah, the vision was as vibrant and joyful as she is, with an emphasis on her love of dance and her signature shade of pink. Every detail was designed to create a playful, energetic celebration. To bring that vision to life, the transformation began with a complete reimagining of the ballroom, where floors and walls were wrapped in a custom installation of plush pink carpet and crisp white tile, making the space feel unrecognizable.

The Details

Building on the immersive atmosphere, shades of pink washed over the space, accented by shimmering disco balls and a glowing dance floor that quickly became the heartbeat of this luxury bat mitzvah celebration. Lola’s custom logo, designed by Liz Buckingham Creative, was thoughtfully woven throughout the design, serving as a meaningful nod to the significance behind this milestone celebration.  Throughout the room, custom-designed furnishings grounded the space, while a circular bar created a sophisticated gathering place for adults alongside a playful “dirty soda” bar that quickly became a favorite among young guests.

Where The Party Came Alive

As the evening progressed, the energy naturally shifted toward the dance floor, where the music carried throughout the night and guests kept the party going from beginning to end. Beneath glowing lights and shimmering disco balls, the celebration unfolded into an unforgettable evening filled with nonstop dancing, excitement, and pure joy.

The North Shore of Oʻahu has always held a special kind of magic: legendary waves, lush landscapes, and a slower pace that feels a world away from the bustle of Waikiki. The Ritz-Carlton Oʻahu, Turtle Bay sits right at the heart of it all, tucked along 1,180 acres of coastline with five miles of shoreline, seven beaches, and views that genuinely take your breath away.

OUR STAY

The Room, the Views, and Everything In Between

We stayed in an oceanfront room, and waking up to that view every morning was something I will not take for granted. The sound of the waves, the endless blue, and the feeling of being right on the edge of the Pacific set the tone for the entire trip. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed in a way that feels true to Hawaii rather than a generic luxury hotel.

With four kids in tow, one of my biggest priorities is always finding a resort where the kids are genuinely entertained, and I can actually relax. The Ritz-Carlton Oʻahu, Turtle Bay delivered. The family pool was an absolute hit. The slides kept the boys happy for hours, and we kept coming back every single day. Honestly, they would have been content never leaving that pool deck, and as a mom, that kind of joy is everything.

The pool restaurant, “Sunset,” was another favorite. Easy, relaxed, delicious, and exactly what you want when you’re in vacation mode and don’t want to break the rhythm of a good pool day. It checked every box. 

NORTH SHORE SUMMER  

What’s Happening on the North Shore This Summer

The resort is fully operational, the beaches are beautiful, and this summer’s programming lineup is something to get excited about:

1. Town & Country Chef Series (starting May 23) A new culinary series with Executive Chef Daniel Quintero, Chef de Cuisine David Fernandez, and Top Chef star Sheldon Simeon blending North Shore soul with Maui’s culinary heritage. A portion of the proceeds benefits farmers affected by the storm.
2. Sunset Sessions (June 5 through August 16) Live local musicians every Friday and Saturday at Sunset Bar, featuring artists from across Oʻahu and neighboring islands. Proceeds support the On the Rise program for emerging Hawaii musicians.
3. Fourth of July BBQ at Kuilima Point (July 4) A full Independence Day celebration with live music, a Taste of the North Shore dining experience, and an evening drone show.
4. Jamie O’Brien Surf Experience Summer is the sweet spot for beginners and families, with calm, small-wave conditions perfect for first-timers and kids.
5. The Stables Sunset horseback rides along five miles of secluded coastline and pony meet-and-greets for the little ones. Magical.
6. Paniolo, a Hawaiian Cowboy Lūʻau An outdoor dinner show honoring Hawaii’s cowboy heritage with a traditional feast, cultural activities, and s’mores around the campfire.
7. Nalu Spa Oceanfront treatments are rooted in Hawaiian healing traditions. Because a vacation should also include some time for you.

And yes, Haleiʻiwa, Waimea Valley, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and the beloved North Shore food trucks are all open and welcoming visitors. A full North Shore experience awaits.

We left The Ritz-Carlton Oʻahu, Turtle Bay already talking about when we could come back to explore the trails, get the boys in surf lessons, and experience their famous Hawaiian Cowboy Luau. Here’s to summer in Hawaii. We’ll see you on the North Shore.

The Bride

When it came to Erin and her fashion details, the details speak for themselves. Her look felt both stylish and regal, subtly nodding to her profession as an actress and love for the film industry. A simple yet elegant gown designed by Former Girlfriend was paired with bold red heels, creating a striking statement.

The Couple & Their Inspiration

Working in the film industry – Vincent as a director and cinematographer, and Erin as an actress, writer, director, and producer – the couple envisioned a wedding rooted in creativity and storytelling. Planned in just three months, the celebration was designed to reflect the energy of their relationship in a way that felt expressive, personal, and true to them. Their vision was heavily inspired by British documentary photographer Martin Parr, whose vibrant, candid, and slightly chaotic style influenced both the wedding décor and the imagery throughout the day.

The Ceremony

Set against rolling hills beyond Le Peaches & Cream, their outdoor ceremony balanced intimacy with creative taste. Benched seating draped in layered white linens created a regal atmosphere, while lush red peonies and rich greenery framed the altar as the couple said, “I do”. Adding to the energy of the day was a stylish guest list, with many traveling from Western Canada and across the U.S., including creatives connected to the film and music industries in places like Nashville and Cannes. To further embrace the couple’s cinematic vision, friends with a shared love for Super 8 cameras were encouraged to capture moments on film throughout the celebration.

The Reception

Following the ceremony, the reception carried forward Erin and Vincent’s focus on storytelling, with every detail contributing to a cohesive experience. From the beginning, they embraced a vision that felt immersive and expressive. Mismatched vintage china and nostalgic design details brought a lived-in warmth to the tables, creating a sense of togetherness throughout the space. Guided by their shared motto to “embrace the chaos”, the reception blended cinematic styling with a relaxed, personal energy that reflected them not only as artists, but as a couple.

The Twin Peaks Celebration

Continuing the vibrant, slightly chaotic energy that defined the day, the couple drew inspiration from Twin Peaks, an American surrealist mystery horror drama television series, for their after-party. Using the show’s surreal and cinematic atmosphere to subtly shape the tone of the evening, Erin and Vincent added an unexpected edge to their fashion-forward wedding. Erin paired her gown with an ivory fur coat and later changed into a Prea James party dress to dance the night away.

Erin and Vincent’s wedding was shaped by a clear creative vision, moving through the day with a steady focus on storytelling, fashion, and design. The result was a celebration that felt cohesive of how they work and live creatively. For more inspiration, read A Fashion-Forward Miami Wedding at The Bath Club!

The Details

When planning their wedding, Marina and Gianluca wanted their Italian-inspired wedding to reflect a true joining of two families who share the same love for gathering and food! Gianluca is the life of every party and brings joy everywhere he goes, while Maria loves creating beautiful, thoughtful experiences that make people feel at home. Their goal was for the wedding to feel like the perfect balance of both.

The Ceremony

Their traditional ceremony was one of the most meaningful moments of the wedding, embodying the heart of Marina and Gianluca’s story. Held at St. Paul of the Cross Catholic Church, where Marina’s parents were married, the setting carried deep personal significance and made the moment especially emotional as she walked down the aisle with her father. She wore the Honora gown by Ines Di Santo, a winter lace design that felt romantic and regal. Taking place just days before Christmas, the church’s red and white poinsettias, evergreen garlands, and touches of gold created a warm, festive atmosphere.

The Venue

Moving from the ceremony to the reception, Marina and Gianluca celebrated at Cuneo Mansion & Gardens, becoming the final couple to host a wedding at the iconic estate featured in My Best Friend’s Wedding. Recently sold by Loyola University Chicago, the property closed its doors to weddings after their date, giving their celebration a unique place in its history. For the couple, the venue felt like an unexpected gift, offering a meaningful alternative to their original plan of marrying in Italy when their grandparents were no longer able to travel. Its Italian-inspired architecture and old-world character echoed the setting they had once envisioned abroad. In many ways, their wedding marked both a personal milestone and the quiet closing of a storied chapter for the estate.

The Reception

The reception was designed to feel formal and elevated, while still carrying the warmth of a family celebration. Working with the team at Yanni Design Studio, the decor was kept understated, allowing each detail to feel refined rather than overpowering. Set against a December backdrop, the design leaned into a soft winter palette with white florals, candlelight, greenery, and subtle gold accents. The result was a space that felt cohesive and inviting, with a quiet sense of romance throughout.

The Celebration

Stepping into the evening, Marina changed into the iconic feathered Wing gown, also by Ines Di Santo. They opened the dance floor with the tarantella, a traditional Italian dance that immediately brought guests together and set the rhythm for the rest of the night. With live saxophone, a DJ, outfit changes, and a packed dance floor, the celebration carried an easy momentum throughout the evening.

This Italian-inspired wedding at Cuneo Mansion & Gardens was a meaningful reflection of heritage brought to life through thoughtful details and a deeply personal setting. From an emotional ceremony to a reception filled with warmth and winter romance, every moment felt intentional without losing its ease.

Taylor later added a neck scarf for the reception for an easy and simple second look.

Her Girls

Surrounded by her closest girls, Taylor’s bridal party looked effortlessly beautiful. Each bridesmaid wore a butter yellow dress (the color of the season!), styled in a silhouette that suited them best.

The Ceremony

Taylor and Brenden exchanged their vows in an intimate beach wedding ceremony with forty of their closest friends and family gathered around them. As they said their I do’s, the sun dipped beyond the ocean and gave them a soft, warm glow.

Happily Ever After

Taylor and Brenden’s love story started in the 7th grade and grew through friendship, distance, and always finding their way back to each other. Their intimate beach wedding was a celebration of their unwavering love surrounded by the people that mattered most.
