About Us
Sarah brings years of experience in floral design, as well as a background in art history and education to her event planning. With her love for organization and design, Sarah naturally found herself drawn to pursuing a career dedicated to the beauty and harmony that comes from a well-planned event. She takes great pride in ensuring her clients feel seen and heard as she manages the many logistics and details that go into planning their celebration. While her love for weddings grew as she planned her very own, she now treasures every opportunity to plan and execute joyous occasions for others. When not coordinating weddings, Sarah enjoys spending quality time with her husband and dog, making their house their home, and taking in the Virginia outdoors, especially on crisp fall days.
