how would you describe your personal style?
My personal style leans toward elegance over opulence. I love creating spaces that feel organic and inviting, never stuffy. I have a fondness for soft, bouncy florals and anything that evokes the charm and warmth of Italy.
01.
what are some of your hobbies?
Cooking (especially if cheese is involved), hosting parties at our home, getting cozy with a book, watching Survivor (yes it's still on!) and enjoying musical theater.
02.
what is your favorite moment during a wedding?
There are two moments I cherish most: the private, joyful realization right after the ceremony when the couple first understands they are truly married, away from their guests' eyes; and the moment they see the design come to life, perfectly reflecting their vision.
03.
what is your favorite season?
I love fall—the crisp air, the comfort of a cozy sweater and wearing layers, and the feeling of warmth that comes with the season. I'm drawn to anything that embodies the essence of hygge—whether it's curling up with a good book by a fire, gathering with my loved ones, or savoring a hot cup of coffee or tea.
