Larsen + Jacob reached out to me just a few short months before the date of their spring microwedding, and from the first conversation, I think I was even more excited about it than they were! Everything about their vision, from the morning brunch setting to the thoughtful and personalized details, was so lovely that I was hooked from the start, and so excited to help them bring it all to life.
Larsen + Jacob are very low-key and didn’t want anything over-the-top, so we kept everything simple: a traditional blue-and-white color palette, lots of ginger jars, and crisp white tulips as far as the eye could see. The mid-March date also made for perfect weather, so we got to host the entire event in the Hotel Crescent Court’s beautiful courtyard.
When a couple’s vision is clear and they’re decisive in what they want, magic happens. Their entire vendor team was a dream, and Larsen + Jacob added their own creative touches too to make the day uniquely them: they actually hand-mixed and poured each candle favor, and Larsen’s mother designed and produced the stunning invitation suites.
From the courtyard ceremony to the peaceful brunch reception to the grand exit through the lobby of the iconic Hotel Crescent Court, every moment of this celebration was a dream come true!

Jessica reached out to me exactly one month from her wedding date, and from there it was a whirlwind of planning meeting, touch-bases, and phone calls with her incredible vendor team to bring her vision to life. Because she chose the Hotel Crescent Court’s elopement package as a base, we had many of her vendors assigned to us, and we couldn’t have been happier with the group we started with: the HCC’s in-house catering and bar, LoveNotes for the ceremony, and Haute Floral (one of our very favorites!) for flowers. With a few additions – Mat Wulff for hair and makeup, Sarah Kate Photography, and the Royal Dukes Band to bring the party – the entire day came together like a dream.
From the very first day, Jessica was so much fun to work with. She had a clear vision of what she wanted and there was so much thought put into each and every detail, from her specially-ordered (and truly show-stopping) gown to her gorgeous, classic florals to the small moments that she made sure to share with her son, Hunter, as they added Matt to their sweet little family.
And family was such a big focus on the wedding day – including Jessica’s precious dog, Bentley, who helped her get ready on the morning of the wedding!
And did we mention this completely precious first look? The joy that Jessica + Matt felt on their wedding day was so palpable, and even though the January day was dark and cold, the entire party – from the small, intimate courtyard ceremony to the high-energy band set that went on long into the night – felt warm and so very full of love.
