my philosophy

jlp-herself.jpg

I am a magic maker. Whether its creating florals, curating event design or planning dreamy weddings, my work is genuine, cohesive, charming & straight from the heart. 

I strive to balance the glamorous with the imperfect, the elegant with the humble, the bohemian with the refined, the organic with the polished, & the fiery with the romantic. 

I favor authentic materials & one-of-a-kind decor coupled with panache.  I favor antique markets over party supply stores, discovering treasures in the attic and I simply adore the hunt for the perfect accent piece that will inevitably make your wedding or event representative of who you are. 

I plan weddings with sacred ceremonies and raging dance parties. I throw killer birthday dinners and curate intimate brunches, awesome pool parties and secret picnics in the forest.

But above all I'm a romantic who spends my time seeking out the charming moments in life, and in them, finding cause for celebration.

 


my approach

CREATIVE PROCESS

The creative process, for me, is fundamentally unique to each event. My work is ultimately a collaborative process with my clients-- a formation of true kinship. My approach is always natural and guided by the underlying goal of creating a festive, easy-to-enjoy atmosphere that is cohesive and aesthetically pleasing. I get things right without following a contrived prescription.

MY STYLE

I would characterize my aesthetic as both unexpected and sophisticated- playful & beautiful... To create a cohesive feel and organic flow for my events, I begin the creative process with a vision board to develop an underlying theme. My events are laced with uniquely personal intricacies and are always a true representation of the client.
