about the event

Claire and Alec's timeless wedding was a dream to plan at one of the most prestigious country clubs in the country: Oak Hill Country Club.



The design for Claire and Alec's wedding was a crisp, elegant and clean color palette of blues, greens, creams, neutrals, and tans for a little depth. A modern summer garden party meets timeless elegance. An important addition to their design was the bride's love for blue and white ginger jars. We incorporated her own personal collection by using them as vessels for the centerpieces. We also rented specialty ones and placed them around the space. 



Loria Letters designed a custom six-piece invitation suite that paired a rich deep blue and a soft white, which made for a classic yet unique design. The hydrangea pattern on the envelope liner was a favorite details as they're one of Claire's favorite flowers.



The reception tent at Oak Hill Country Club is an incredible blank canvas. With such a large space, we felt it was important to have different areas of interest at various eye levels, such as on the tables but also above the dance in a large floral chandelier that helped fill the space.



We finished the tables with classic white florals and greenery. We prefer not to follow “trends” as wedding designers. This palette, inspired by their personal style and tastes, will stand the test of time.

Alec and I knew how highly experienced she was and put our full faith in her and her team's ability to make our vision come to life. We would never have been able to pull the vision together or convey it to vendors in a cohesive way. Desirée has great relationships with vendors, which proved to be invaluable. She took on tasks that neither of us would have known how to handle, kept us on track with our to-do lists, and made our wedding day so special and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better day!

"We hired Desirée because we loved how all the weddings she planned are unique and clearly represent the couple's vision!"

The dessert bar was stacked with childhood favorites, including the Jack 'n Jill oatmeal cookie sandwiches
