I am small business florist who loves creating the most perfect florals for a couples most special day. I really believe that flowers can bring so much joy, they can celebrate cultures, represent life and passion, and even remember and honor loved ones. Whether it is a single rose, or a full wildflower garden, I think there are flowers for every type of person!

The flowers were the best part of the entire day. Growing up, my grandma was a florist so flowers were one of the most important things to me. I sent Laura my vision and she took it and brought it to life. You can tell she has such passion and love for each bouquet she puts together. She is so sweet and has amazing communication. When she delivered my bouquet in the morning, she wrote me a letter and it just shows her kindness and passion. The flowers were one of the most talked about things of the night!

We're Amalia and Jenna, a passionate duo who happen to be wives, dedicated to crafting unforgettable weddings. With a combined background in hospitality, design and event planning, we bring a keen eye for detail and a knack for orchestrating flawless celebrations. Our goal is to alleviate the stress of wedding planning, so you can focus on what truly matters: your love for each other. Let's work together to create a wedding that's beautiful and personalized to you and your partner!

Awarded Best of Zola
My now husband and I LOVED working with Amalia and her wife, Jenna, to bring our wedding night dinner to life. My husband and I chose a courthouse wedding ceremony - just us - but knew we wanted to invite close friends and family to an intimate dinner that evening to celebrate. I wasn't sure where to begin - I contacted Amalia and sent her photos from Pinterest as my inspiration. Amalia truly blew us away from day 1 - she created custom dinner invites for us based on my inspiration photos. She sent over multiple proofs of her one-of-a-kind digital designs until it was perfectly done. I never had to reach out to her - Amalia was on top of my deadlines and full of ideas for my dream night! Her communication is excellent. My husband and I picked a venue in Scotch Plains, NJ to host our dinner. The restaurant offered private, charming rooms for special events. Amalia contacted the venue and worked out all the fine details of setup - I truly did not have to lift a finger! I shared my ideas & inspirations with Amalia for how I imagined the dinner to look. I knew I wanted to keep the wildflower color scheme of my bouquet in the details. However, I let her know I was very open to letting her take the lead in designing the setup. I am not a type-A person or planner, so I was grateful she stepped up and let her creativity flow. As seen in attached photos, Amalia designed our dream wedding night dinner! My husband and I arrived before our guests and were blown away with the ambiance and warmth of the room. Amalia designed custom welcome notes, name cards and signage for us that matched our initial invites. She embedded special details such as mini figurines of our beloved lab and pug, and printed framed a photo I sent earlier in the day of my courthouse ceremony! She and her wife, Jenna, handmade flower bouquets for the table and lit beautiful hand-painted candles in the center. She even designed thank you cards/ keepsake magnets on plantable paper for our guests. Amalia is a dream to work with - her passion for weddings & design is so evident! She is compassionate and professional- I had a truly seamless experience with her. I am forever grateful to Amalia for planning my wedding night dinner - an evening my husband and I will cherish forever. We are considering a vow renewal or more traditional wedding in a few years, and without hesitation look forward to hiring Amalia again!

We had our wedding at the Park Chateau, and from start to finish, the experience was flawless. There’s a reason the Park Chateau is considered the best wedding venue in the state — it’s simply unmatched! The venue is the epitome of luxury, with both the outdoor and indoor spaces being breathtakingly beautiful. The grounds are impeccably maintained, from the vibrant flowers to the tranquil water features. It truly felt like stepping into a fairytale. Guests were absolutely blown away by the setting alone. Every detail, from the architecture to the gardens, was picture-perfect, creating an atmosphere that felt elegant, timeless, and incredibly special. The food was also exceptional! The cocktail hour alone was a standout — our guests couldn’t stop raving about the variety, presentation, and flavor of every dish. Many were genuinely surprised when dinner was served afterward, assuming the cocktail hour had been the main meal because it was that impressive. Both the quantity and quality of the food exceeded all expectations. We received so many compliments from guests about how it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. Most standout, however, was their service. The Park Chateau has an entire team of dedicated professionals who made sure every single detail was executed seamlessly. From bridal attendants literally on their knees scrubbing dirt off my dress, to staff ensuring we always had a drink or a bite to eat, we felt completely cared for the entire day. They checked in on us constantly but never intrusively, even bringing water around while we danced to keep us hydrated and energized. Our families were treated with such respect and warmth, and their kindness and attentiveness were noticed by everyone. The team brought our vision to life with minimal effort on our part, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment. The Park Chateau is a premium venue, but it is worth every single penny. It gave us the wedding of our dreams!!

Your vision is unmatched, and after watching our heirloom film, we can honestly say these are memories we will cherish forever. We've seen soo many wedding videos, but the way you captured our friendships and the love of our family is breathtakingly beautiful and that is something far beyond just a wedding film.

My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

We LOVED doing our engagement photos with Momo! She was lovely and communicative throughout the whole process. When the forecast called for rain, she offered to reschedule, which I thought was really nice. Both my fiance and I are usually a little shy behind the camera but Momo made us so comfortable and it was easy to forget she was even there sometimes. Afterwards, my fiance couldn’t stop talking about how much fun he had (“I just got to kiss you for an hour!”). She was also great with our big, goofy dog. The pictures, which she sent in two days, exceeded all our expectations. They are so amazing and special for us to have, and everyone is gushing about them! We couldn’t be happier we went with Momo.

Margaret was better than I could’ve asked! Leading up to the day she was so easy to communicate with. She created a timeline for the day and any thoughts I had she took them into account and found a way to incorporate them into the plan. Truely felt like a team because of how kind and thoughtful she is. Get to the day, she was a calming presence for sure. She showed up with a smile on her face and seamlessly cued the bridesmaids and myself throughout. She was present but didn’t hover it was the perfect balance. Along with that she was my hype girl throughout it 3 Now let’s talk about the pictures, I’m not used to getting my picture taken and feel so uncomfortable being the center of attention but she tells you every detail you need, and if something doesn’t look right she’ll correct it gracefully in the moment. I felt like I got to enjoy my day without it feeling like a photoshoot. She delivered the pictures so fast!! A couple of my bridesmaids made comments about how fast the turnaround time was…and they were breathtaking!! Better than I ever could have imagined, I can’t stop looking at them. Not a moment was missed and due to her talent we have the most perfect picture to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and book with her, worth every penny.

Ashley is such a kind and wonderful person to work with! She made me and my bridal party feel comfortable going up to the big day. Pricing was reasonable and I went with her originally because she did not require more than 2 minimum people/services the day of on site, which put me at ease in case my girls decided later they did not want makeup done. Most services to go on site had a large minimum. Any questions I had in email she responded quickly which is a big help in the wedding planning process. On the big day she made sure my skin was prepped well and the cheeks/lips she was able to build up and make tweaks as we go so it would work perfectly with my look. The photos were amazing with the tones she picked and I got a slight glow as the night went on which is what I wanted, and it stayed all night! To add to it, she gave me the lip product to keep for touch ups at no cost! This is exactly who you want to be with you on your big day. Thank you so much Ashley!

I am Paul, a husband, father, and photographer serving the east coast NY, NJ, tri-state area, and available for travel worldwide. I have a joy and enthusiasm for life, love, and marriage. I love creating beautiful photos and capturing moments and memories but more importantly I love to photograph weddings and engagements because I love marriage and the love it signifies.

Paul was absolutely incredible to work with! We had the pleasure of working with him for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and he made every moment enjoyable. From the start, Paul was kind, communicative, and incredibly creative. My husband and I can sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera, but Paul made us feel completely at ease. He avoided overly posed shots and instead guided us into natural, flattering poses, (but still fun and creative) which turned out stunning. We were a bit nervous about finding a great photo location without needing to drive somewhere else. We thought we might be able to take photos around the grounds; Paul arrived early and scouted out the best spots, ensuring we had the perfect backdrops for our pictures. We had a few edit requests, and Paul was more than accommodating. On the wedding day, he was meticulous in capturing all of our group photo requests and making sure no detail was missed. At the reception, Paul expertly documented all the little moments that will allow us to relive those joyful memories for years to come. We couldn't be happier with our photos!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Nicole. She did an absolutely incredible job with our flowers—every arrangement was stunning, and she brought my vision to life even more beautifully than I imagined. Throughout the planning process, she was thoughtful, thorough, and such a joy to work with. She listened carefully, offered great suggestions, and made everything feel effortless. But what truly sets Nicole apart is how deeply she cares. On the wedding day, she became an unexpected hero. As she was finishing her setup, she noticed I was upset and immediately asked what was wrong. I explained that the venue had misplaced the light fixtures meant to sit at the top of our large seating chart, leaving awkward empty holes. Without hesitation, she said she had extra greenery and could cover the entire area. Within minutes, she transformed it into something beautiful. It was amazing—she was an absolute lifesaver. Nicole’s talent, creativity, and kindness made such a difference in our day. I’m endlessly grateful for her work, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone.
