Ope, am I the only one who can’t get that song off repeat on a FriYay?! ⁣

I’m pretty sure what’s happening here is an age-old, music showdown of epic proportions—⁣

Jarrett - “Backstreet Boys!” ⁣
@djalexreedkc - “No way, N’Sync for sure”⁣
⁣
Help the boys figure it out! Who is sure to pump up this reception, @nsync or @backstreetboys?! ⁣

I mean, for real. Just look at any behind the scenes photo of me working, and there I am with a big ol’ wide open grin. It’s hard not to be so full of joy with the work that we do! ⁣
⁣
Know what else makes me big ol’ smile? Opening up messages from my team that say ‘Happy Boss’s Day’. Ok, that may have made me tear up alongside my smile. I just couldn’t help it 😭 (𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 )⁣
⁣
When I started this business, I knew it would be something special. My priority is and always has been to empower women— brides and my team, to create a safe space for growth and creativity, and to spread joy. And I felt such a glimpse of that this morning. So thank you 🖤⁣
⁣
And to all you other boss’s out here, grinding and hustling away — 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 👏 We see you, we support you, and we are hardcore cheering you on! So swipe for a little 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨-𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 boss ☕️ Today we celebrate you. ⁣

It’s no secret— I love our city. Nope, I’m not even a homegrown Midwesterner! Your girl here is Southern, through and through 🦐 But at some point in my years of living here, my soul just recognized Kansas City as 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚. ⁣
⁣
That’s why when I hear couples wanting to give nod to KC at their wedding, I always get a little giddy! *𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦, 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘺....𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘦 🤷🏻‍♀️*⁣
⁣
Some of our favorite ways to highlight our hometown are subtle, simple, yet make a big impact! ⁣
• Include KC landmarks or skylines in your stationery (like this gorgeous set from @littleyellowleaf )⁣
• Shuttlecock seating charts anyone?! ⁣
• Bridal Party photos at some of KC’s favorite landmarks and murals⁣
• Local BBQ favorite appetizers during cocktail hour (𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦!) ⁣
• Locally sourced Welcome gifts (@madeinkc_ and @kansascitybox are a great spot to get started on these!)⁣
• Kansas City stir sticks (𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘵 @loveletter_studio) ⁣
• And! If y’all invite @kcsluggerrr @kcroyals to your wedding, better believe I will be there in a heartbeat! ⚾️ ⁣
⁣
Are there ways you are (or did) incorporating Kansas City in to your wedding?! What ideas have we missed?

⁣
One of our favorite “updates” to the traditional wedding has to be the eats. I’ve heard more and more recently - “I just don’t like cake” 🤷🏻‍♀️ (𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩) And a couple years ago, that may have been a hard stop. ⁣
⁣
But not anymore! Today there are SO MANY sweets and treats options for your wedding day. Like this cutie patootie cart from @cookies_and_creamery , by @cottontale_kc. I mean, who wouldn’t want ice cream cookie sandwiches at their wedding?! ⁣
⁣
We’ve also seen⁣
• Pies⁣
• Macarons⁣
• Cheesecake ⁣
• Italian Cookie bars ⁣
• Cotton Candy ⁣
• Candy trucks⁣
• And full dessert bars sans cake ⁣
⁣
What do you think? Are you a cake enthusiast (🙋🏻‍♀️ 𝘮𝘦, 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦!), or are you planning on a more unique dessert for your wedding day?

Is there a wedding planning moment better than finding ‘The One’? Go ahead, we’ll wait!👰

Where did y’all find your ‘The One’? That dreamy, perfect dress you just knew had to be yours the moment you put it on? Was it an all day hunt or was it an instant connection with the first boutique you visited?
