welcome to the blog

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The weather was perfect for Meagan and Dustin’s mint and coral gathering at Belle Meadows Farm. This police officer married his sweetheart under a white oak tree strung with blooms and surrounded by friends and family.  This sweet bride didn’t get bogged down with the details: she was getting married and that mattered most to […]

We called it Flower Camp:  A hands-on floral workshop hosted by Philosophy Flowers in North Carolina. I discussed and pondered it and had scary dreams at night. “You’re gonna go to North Carolina, alone, to a flower workshop?!”, my friends would ask.  I don’t like doing things alone.  I have an irrational fear of “alone”. […]

I loved Tina and Daniel’s love story.  I love how he dotes after her and how excited her family was to welcome him into theirs.  I love the way they look at one another and how cool and collected she remained throughout the wedding planning process. I love when a bride truly listens to me. […]

I’ve known Natalie for almost 15 years.  She was actually one of the first girls I met on campus at MTSU and she instantly intimidated me…she was older AND in a sorority!  Fast forward a few months and we are sorority sisters, planning events, attending social gatherings and pomping homecoming floats.  When she contacted me […]

As two creatives awaiting the start of a busy spring wedding season, Meagan Fisher of M.Fisher Imagery and I were dying to do something entirely for fun.  After receiving a copy of The Flower Recipe from my sister for Christmas, I’ve spent lots of time flipping through those pages and daydreaming about flowers and beautiful […]

I have enjoyed looking back through these wedding photos to create these blog posts.  So much hard work and love went into this event.  Jena and Trent added some really incredible personal touches to the day, but my favorite part: the flowers! Jena and I searched online for months for inspiration to tie in the […]
