Have you ever seen a more epic first dance?!?
First dance with sparklers and a cloud machine
“I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it’s gonna take
A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make.”

Kate + Phil : Lisa Stoner Events Wedding at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn Resort

December 16, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

We’ve done a looooot of Disney weddings in our day, but this was our first designed by our sweet friend Lisa Stoner! I was so excited to see how Lisa would transform a ballroom we’ve seen so many times, and just. wait. til. you. see. how. it. turned. out! <3

We started the day hanging out with tediously working beside our esteemed colleges Joe, Kristin, and Tanner of Switzerworld! Patricia LeJeune was on hand to make sure everyone looked and felt their best, and we knew we had Jim from Fyerfly to look forward to packing the dance floor. It’s a wonderful feeling when we get to be part of a team composed of the best of the best! :)

Have you ever seen a more amazing confetti cannon?! That’s some FyerFly magic right there! <3

Kate and Phil, thank you SO much for having us!!! <3

Amelia and Schuyler : The Oldest House Wedding in St. Augustine, FL Part I

December 3, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

My littler sister was a bride. My little sister is a wife!

It seems unfathomable, mainly because this is how I will remember her forever and ever. It’s how I remember all 3 of us, actually. I was going to post an embarrassing childhood photo of her to open this blog post but decided since she IS a Root bride, to not be mean and single her out. Instead, I’ll throw all of us under a bus. But hey, look how skinny I was! And fanny packs came back this year, right? So nothing to be ashamed of here. Moving on! <3

Thank you to our vendor friends for taking such good care of my little sister. From being treated like royalty while finding her dress at Solution’s to Jim keeping her dance floor packed, it was such a wonderful feeling knowing she was in such good hands. :)

There are about a million photos I want to share but I’ll just stick to my favorite 100. I’m breaking this one into two parts so don’t forget to click part two to see the rest! <3

Amelia and Schuyler got ready with their wedding party in their home. :)
