Minty Fresh. When I tell you this design, this experience and this dress just worked. Don’t ever doubt that sequins and seashells are a perfect match.

Mocha Mood. The ornament exchange was an exercise in angles, curves and swerves. Chiseled bars, carved cheese and then we cut up dance floor too! You know it was a good one when the ☕️ was hot before and after, IYKYK.

Sadddaaaaa Sahhhhhhh. IYKYK. Funny story, everytime we would book a new client or be really pumped about something we would literally sing this iconic song from @parishilton + @nicolerichie It got so normal that we would just text “Sadda” or “got a Sadda”. Anyways, grab a martini, some sassy tights and have a sing a long with this *simple* joyful jangle. #holiday #holidayparty #saintsass #tights #martini #thesimplelife

How we feeling about Mocha Mouse? Big Fan over here and it’s not an iteration of slurple purple gum drop so it’s a win for me. Neutral base tone to kick off some interesting combos in 2025. It’s not the chartreuse I’ve been gunning for @pantone but I’ll meet you here with latte in hand. << photo @abbyjiu planning and design @gritandgraceinc flowers @sweetrootvillage rentals @smthingvintage venue @conradwashingtondc linens @bbjlatavola draping @fabeventsdc paper @mintedweddings @minted placecards @properletter >> #coloroftheyear #coloroftheyear2025 #mocha #mochamousse #pantone #weddingcolor #weddingcolors #weddingplanning

Thursdays Will Never Recover. It’s giving extra extra read all about it because this year’s Ornament Exchange was just full of fashion and pushing trends while getting down with our nearest and dearest. And yes my coat was inspired by @bronwynnewport epic moment on @rhoslctv . Fiercely Festive. An ornament exchange of epic proportions pushing fashion boundaries and pulling on friendship heartstrings.
