Woke up to this news from @wed_vibes 🫶🏻 feeling so honored to be recognized alongside so many incredible creatives. When I started this business, I had no idea what was in store for me - the amazing brides that would trust me with their visions, the brands I’d work with, the photographers that would capture my work, the recognition I’d receive. Every day I have to pinch myself that this is my job 🤏🏼 forever grateful for this work and the amazing opportunities that have come my way.

This one feels special. To be recognized by The Wed as one of the Top 15 Bridal Stylists in the world is a milestone I’ll never forget.

Bridal styling began as a passion project—one built on curiosity, instinct, and a deep love for individuality. Years later, it’s become a craft defined by connection, storytelling, and emotion. I’m endlessly grateful to the brides, brands, stores, and mentors who have believed in me, challenged me, and helped me build this business—it wouldn’t exist without you. I’m proud of how far it’s come, and even more excited for what’s next. ❤️‍🔥

NYBFW camera roll and can honestly say this is the first bridal market where I’ve taken ZERO photos of myself 🙃

BUT ALSO- just want to say how proud I am of all the moms out there doing the thing. Traveling and working with a little plus one is a whole different energy and I was able to go into this BFW with soooo much more respect for this female dominated industries. I love us, I love this work, and I love girlhood 💞

ps scroll to the end for the cutest matching outfit moment of Lou and her cousin 😭

A house that (finally) feels like home 🏡 #gifted

Since we left LA almost two years ago, we’ve been looking for our next home. More than a town or a building, we’ve been trying to find the place that feels like us. A place we can settle in, put down roots, and watch our daughter grow. We found our small town but since we’re renting, it still didn’t feel like us. I was hesitant to invest in the pieces that transform a house into a home.

When @cb2 reached out about partnering together on a registry, it felt like a sign. A sign that it didn’t have to be our forever home to feel like home.

I wanted our home to feel warm, elevated (even with a baby 😅), modern, and have a touch of western as a nod to our surroundings. These pieces have truly transformed our house and I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out.

I’m still over the moon about this partnership and I hope you love the pieces I curated as much as I do. You can see my entire CB2 real registry by clicking the link in my bio 🤍

If I could tell pregnant me anything it would be this: your life isn’t over once you have kids. All the haters that say, “enjoy this while you can,” are nothing but noise. Yes, things change and travel looks different, but life only expands, blossoms, and gets better 💖
