welcome to the blog

This is not the next sequential wedding I should blog. The next one should share the story of a sweet couple from Connecticut who kicked my season off with one heck of an event, logistically and style-wise. There are actually 2 before Chris and Meghann’s would be scheduled but I am led to write this […]

I love how connections are made in the creative world.  Meeting one person can lead to an incredible opportunity which leads to meeting more incredible people which leads to….. You just never know what kind of doors each person will open in your world.  You may have read my post about Flower Camp (i.e. Team […]

As you have read, I’m a flower junkie!  I loved my experience at Team Flower with Kelly Perry and 6 months passed before I was itching for more.  When I saw an Instagram post from Amy Osaba Events about their winter floral workshop, I was in!  I emailed them instantly and secured one of the […]

I love when a bride and groom are established in their lives, have experienced the single life and have now found their one true love.  I love when a bridal party is over the moon with excitement for their friends.  I find these couples/groups don’t get bogged down with the little details and that makes […]

Lately, I’ve received quite a few inquiries/questions about my role as a wedding planner and also a floral designer.  I wanted to take a chance to address the ‘how’ and ‘why’ to hire Kennedy Occasions to plan and flower your event. The biggest question: “How do you do both?” I am lucky to have some […]

Kristen and Walter are one of those couples you don’t want to see go. Spending time with them never felt like “work” and I enjoyed getting to know them as we created a picturesque lakeside wedding day for these two. Despite the challenges of turning 2 private residences into wedding venues, this wedding was absolutely […]

Dinosaurs, sequins and stripes….oh MY! What a fun event! I’ve known Katy for nearly 14 years and as AXO sorority sisters, we spent many late nights with a cocktail and a chick flick and shared “fun” memories from Sigma Nu formals. I was super excited when we connected to talk about her wedding day and […]

I love when a bride’s main focus is her marriage to her best friend.  The details and stress can be overwhelming (I could drive home the need for a wedding planner/coordinator) but despite the trials of a long engagement, Kate was a gracious, beautiful bride.   These two are crazy in love and didn’t sweat […]

Fall of 2014 was absolutely nuts. I had 8 weddings in 8 weeks and with a full time job, I knew it was going to be a challenge. Luckily, I had some of my favorite couples lined up for fall weddings and a stellar vendor lineup for each event!  I kicked off my 8 week […]

I love when a mom wants to be involved with the wedding planning as a sounding board, but with the absolute conviction that the decisions are to be her daughter’s: the brides. A well oiled mother-daughter team can be such a blessing to a wedding professional and I was so lucky in this case to […]
