Best 6 of the First 6 {Months of 2025}

From new venues to returning favorites, and vibrant cultural celebrations to refined coastal palettes, 2025 has already been such an incredible year for me! Although I’m still waiting on a lot of galleries (to all my couples: please please share when you can), the first half of 2025 was filled with dream couples and incredibly thoughtful design moments.


Without further ado, let’s check out my favorites (in no particular order)!


Abby & Eric



The Venue: Longwood Gardens - Kennett Square, Pennsylvania

This was my first wedding at Longwood Gardens, and one that I won’t soon forget! Every element was literally to die for. First, I created a brand new beautiful venue painting for the couple. The fonts, color palette, watercolor florals, the welcome bag cards, the timeline cards in the welcome bags, and the day-of pieces were all so cohesive. Their floral design matched the exact tones I wove into the invitation suite, making everything cohesive from start to finish. The table numbers featured meaningful locations from their relationship, adding a subtle but super personal touch. Each guest received a personalized menu with their name and the entrée they selected. To end the night, there was an amazing firework display over the gardens. Like are you kidding?! Truly magical. Working with Abby was such a joy, she was so sweet! I was so so so excited to get a booking at Longwood Gardens!


Hannah & Greg



The Venue: Bonnet Island Estate - Manahawkin, NJ

I’ve done A LOT of weddings at Bonnet Island, but this one really stood out! Hannah wanted to lean into a fresh, modern, and more trendy aesthetic that has continued to gain popularity (after starting to pick up steam last year). Her invitations were incredibly custom. We selected every single icon together, setting the tone for a clean, crisp, but fun look. Hannah was such a fun bride to work with, and I’m so happy that she entrusted me to roll with this theme for the rest of the wedding! The cohesive white and blue palette carried perfectly into the seating chart, signage, floral textures, and day-of pieces. So simple but so beautiful!


Jordan & Richard



The Venue: Crossed Keys Estate - Andover, NJ

Although I only designed the invitation suite and the menus for this wedding, it absolutely belongs on this list. This is one of my favorite invitation suites that I’ve ever created! It could not have turned out any prettier. Like I am so friggin’ obsessed with this suite. Jordan wanted full, colorful, and joyful florals woven through every layer of the design. I incorporated pressed flowers, a wax seal, letterpress printing, a custom monogram, and full floral artwork that tied beautifully into the envelope liner. Jordan was so cool, and she really let me run with this, which was so rewarding. I also created a brand new watercolor painting of the ceremony site at Crossed Keys, which is now part of my rotation. When Jordan came to pick up the invitations, she cried because she loved them so much. It was truly the best feeling, and she was such a lovely bride to work with!


Michelle & Sam



The Venue: The Ashford Estate - Allentown, New Jersey

Michelle and Sam were the sweetest couple. Their wedding aesthetic was a perfect blend of navy, soft pink, and florals. I created navy letterpress invitations with a pale pink letterpress border and incorporated my Ashford Estate watercolor painting. Their day-of pieces included matching menus, fan programs for their outdoor summer ceremony, and floral-forward accents that echoed the invitation suite. Signage followed a clean white and gold approach, pairing white acrylic with watercolor lettering, and the couple displayed their custom monogram that I created on the fireplace in the reception space. Everything tied together beautifully for a quintessential summer wedding at The Ashford Estate!


Sydney & Taj



The Venue: Crossed Keys Estate - Andover, NJ

Sydney & Taj’s celebration spanned two days with two completely different aesthetics, which made it such a fun and dynamic project. The first was a vibrant, joyful Sangeet full of color and movement, while their wedding day at Crossed Keys brought a softer, garden-inspired palette. The couple wanted to ensure that their guests understood how the entire celebration was going to work, and they did not overlook a single detail. The invitation suite was intentionally clean and modern with a subtle touch of color, featuring a sage wax seal, delicate floral vellum, and a pale yellow weekend events card. I created a large clear acrylic welcome sign (one of my favorite past designs that Sydney had referenced) that looked stunning against the greenery of the garden. For the first time ever I produced custom newspapers printed on actual newsprint, filled with weekend details, relationship highlights, places they’ve traveled, and even a crossword puzzle. Day-of signage incorporated olive greens and deep greens, tying into the farm aesthetic. The seating chart was pale yellow, and table numbers and menus featured greens and my full venue painting. The florals were breathtaking and complemented all other aspects perfectly. What a stunner. So good!


Tamar & Zach



The Venue: Crossed Keys Estate - Andover, NJ

This wedding was a labor of love in every sense of the word. It was one of the most labor-intensive projects I’ve ever executed (and also one of the most rewarding). I built the entire coffee wall on my own. A full custom install featuring patterned panels with coffee mugs and espresso beans. Each bag hanging on the wall had a custom design that I hand-filled with chocolate-covered espresso beans. This project actually inspired the espresso bean bags that I now gift my own brides that I work with. For the couple’s day-of aesthetic, they wanted something playful and fun that felt true to their personalities. Their invitations were extremely traditional (due to parental preference), so we infused joy, color, and whimsical touches into the menus, signage, and overall design. The menus featured illustrated food icons and were some of my favorites that I’ve created. This wedding was a true passion project and such a standout from this year! That wall was everything.


BONUS: Laura & Schuyler



The Venue: Crossed Keys Estate - Andover, NJ

This was one of my favorite weddings I’ve ever designed for. Like ever, ever, ever! I couldn’t wait to showcase it, so it got its own feature entirely. Check it out here!
