How to Design a Wedding That Feels Like You

Weddings don’t have to fit into a single box. In fact, the most memorable celebrations are often the ones that break the mold—and lean into what feels personal, familiar, and you.

I grew up in California, so maybe I’m a little biased—but give me palm trees and the sound of ocean waves, and I feel instantly grounded. That sense of place, of comfort, of home? That’s the feeling I want to help every couple tap into when designing their wedding day.

Whether you're getting married in New York City or somewhere upstate in the Hudson Valley, your wedding should reflect your version of home.

Infuse Your Story Into the Design

Maybe it’s weaving in palm leaves as a nod to your West Coast roots, even if you're saying “I do” in Brooklyn. Maybe it's a pop of color from your favorite city abroad, or a custom signature drink that reminds you of that first vacation together. These aren’t just pretty details—they're markers of your story. The things that make your wedding yours.

When I work with couples, I like to start with this question: What makes you, you?

Is it the Sunday farmers’ market routine? A shared love for spicy margaritas? The record player you still use to wind down at night? Those are the things we carry into your design—sometimes literally.

Why Personalization Matters More Than Trends

There are so many beautiful wedding trends out there—Pinterest is full of them—but what makes your day unforgettable isn’t whether it’s on-trend. It’s how it makes people feel. Guests remember moments that feel honest, thoughtful, and true to you.

Your wedding doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. It can be as bold or as minimal as you want. As colorful or as neutral. As formal or as laid-back. What matters most is that it feels right for you.
