When it comes to blending tradition with modern elegance, Harry and Ruthie’s wedding at the Ritz-Carlton St. Louis was a wedding to remember! Surrounded by the glow of candlelight, lush white roses, baby’s breath clouds, and hydrangeas, this couple created a celebration that was both timeless and deeply personal, perfectly reflecting their journey and love story.

I wanted my guest's experience to be warm, comfortable and fun. I imagined our guests could dance to our amazing band but could also catch up by one of the fireplaces or at the table under candlelight and the amazing hedge centerpieces.

It is not everyday that a couple really lets their design teams “work the room”, but… with the addition of blush florals and elements, various styles of elevated centerpieces and a myriad of candlelight, the Khorrisan Ballroom was transformed. The result is an opulent backdrop for an unforgettable celebration.

This month, we are ushering in the cold with an elegant, hometown wedding celebrating Lisa’s niece, Emily. Emily and Andrew, chose white and ivory flowers, and rich grey and emerald hues to embrace the festive chill.

Plus, there is a little piece of Lisa history hidden away inside this blog!

This month, our bride had a strong vision for her special day that included some of her own design work, plus contrasting aesthetics for each venue.
