They let me be more creative than a typical wedding, connect me with other Kansas City wedding vendors I haven’t had a chance to work with […]

I had a vision of a soft, candy-shop-inspired wedding, and this vendor team absolutely delivered. From the sweet, springy invitation suite to the soft wash of color on the model’s eyes, Mary Frances […]
Obviously, a key part of planning a wedding is figuring out the logistics of how you’ll actually get married. Along with the flowers and the food and the fun, you also have to navigate finding and choosing a wedding officiant. And while I love Kansas City, there’s an added layer of complexity when you’re getting […]
Kansas City Chiefs fans, get ready to obsess over this wedding at Arrowhead Stadium. Dana & Joel are huge football fans, so Dana knew she had to get married at their favorite place in Chiefs Kingdom: Arrowhead Stadium. Take a look at the details of their wedding day, and then scroll a little bit further […]

Now, heading into 2023, we finally have some new trends to pull inspiration from! […]
