The Perfect Easter Table
Need some inspiration for your Easter entertaining this year? Here are a few of NAE’s favorites for the perfect Easter table!
Maddy & Eric
All of our weddings are special, but this one was extra special. The bride, Maddy, is Nicole’s sister and one of Maddie’s closest friend (one of the reasons she works for NAE)! Planning a wedding in the midst of a global pandemic is not an easy task, but after a date change followed by a venue change, it was the most perfect day. Thank you Maddy & Eric for trusting us and letting us be apart of your big day in so many ways. It truly was THE BEST DAY! We love you!
Valentine’s Day Gift Guide
Some of NAE’s favorite gifts for Valentine’s Day 2021!
Boho Bridal Shower
Bridal showers are quickly becoming one of our favorite things to plan! We had so much with this one in particular. It is so fun to step out of the box and play around with fun colors and themes. Lucy and her fiance live in Califorina, so she wanted a natural, earthy, boho vibe with pops of girly pink. The shower took place at Amelia’s Market & Brassiere located in downtown Tulsa, and it couldn’t have been the more perfect venue. The restaurant itself already has so many charming details, and it was so easy to play off the design. We went with a blush velvet linen on the table (because, duh) and it was such a beautiful contrast next to the existing emerald green banquettes. We had a tent installed on the front patio, so after lunch guests grabbed a cup of Jo and headed out to the gift tent, where they could grab a blanket to “have and to hold, incase they got cold”!
Backyard Garden Party
While this wasn't plan A for Laney and Nicholas, it turned out more perfect than they could have imagined. So perfect, that they ended up canceling their larger reception that we had postponed to November! Their original plan for June 13th was a big country club wedding, with a band and lots of dancing, but when Covid had other plans they made the decision to get married on their original date of June 13, but on a much smaller scale and in the bride's childhood backyard. The father or the bride and her two brothers worked tirelessly to redo their back deck to ensure it was large enough to fit the amount of tables needed to accommodate the number of guests. It was so much fun getting to see the transformation, and backyard weddings have quickly become our favorite - so personal, intimate, and unique to the families.
Sea of Tulips
We had 6 months to design and plan this black tie garden party! It seems like such a small amount of time to plan something so extravagant, but the short amount of time ensured that decisions were made quickly and there wasn’t much time to dwell on an idea, which can definitely helps for a seamless planning process. Ali knew she wanted black & white, crisp & clean, elegant & modern all at the same time. With the help of some amazing vendors and Meagan from Poppy's Garden over the top tulip chandelier vision, we were able to knock the design out of the park for this amazing bride and groom - and their sweet family.
Modern Tropics
We were so excited to put together a styled shoot for Brides of Oklahoma magazine! We wanted to create something that was out of the box; something different than what our brides typically go for. We started thinking about some of our favorite places, when we settled on Palm Springs! We are drawn to the modern, mid-century vibes with pops of color. Since the Tulsa Club Hotel had just opened, we were so excited to get our foot in the door and create something beautiful! The art deco vibe of the hotel made for the perfect backdrop.
