caroline + justin

Caroline and Justin were married on New Years day and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. Who would have thought it would be almost 60 degrees in January?! I fell in love with Caroline, Justin + Caroline’s mother, Nancy, at our very first meeting. Caroline envisioned a unique celebration and was certain that she wouldn’t wear a white wedding dress. Instant excitement! I was thrilled to have the incredible Jennifer Domenick capture the day! Congrats to the happy couple! xoxo, Jess

life is sweet

Being a lover of all things sweet and pretty packaging, I’m partial to edible favors. From homemade jams and whoopie pies (even better with milk!) to smores and mini breakfast baskets, these treats are sure to make your guests smile. Enjoy! xo- Jessica

why not kauai?

Recently, I was lucky enough to do a little destination wedding “research” in Kauai. While there, I stayed at the gorgeous St. Regis, Princeville. There are so many reasons why I fell in love with this location: the stunning décor, the incredible, breath-taking views, the pristine infinity pool, the soft, white-sand beach, the gentle waves of Hanalei Bay and the incredible sunsets! This intimate resort has to be one of the most romantic places on Earth! During my stay, I had the opportunity to become familiar with the work of the very talented Martin Roberts Design group, who provides all of the floral décor for the resort. Check out their outrageously gorgeous work and the fabulous St. Regis, Princeville in the spring/summer issue of Grace Ormonde Wedding Style on newsstands now . . . here’s a sneak peak just for you. xo - Kate

jayne + jonathan

I'm thrilled to share photos from a very special night! Jayne + Jonathan are dear friends of mine and I enjoyed every minute of being a guest at their wedding. Jessica + Kate were on hand to ensure that the day went off without a hitch and that Jayne's wedding day vision came to life. Jayne (and her fabulous mom, Amie Sue!) did an amazing job planning. There was no detail overlooked and so many elements of the day were infused with J + J's personalities. It was perfect! A big thank you to Greg Gibson for the photos. Congratulations Jayne + Jono. I love y'all! xoxo
