Meet Carianne

Hey Everyone!

If you’re looking for a little thanksgiving table inspiration , look no further.

I believe Autumn is one of the most magical times of the year. Aside from cozy sweater weather, hot cups of cider and ALL the apple crisp, it’s a time of great change in nature. It is so incredible the beauty and color that surrounds us this season. I am so grateful to live in a part of the country where we can experience all the things this season has to offer and can witness such beauty surrounding us.

I designed this jewel toned tablescape a few years back and it STILL ranks as one of my absolute favorites! I was so inspired by ALL the colors in the upstate area during this time of year. I wanted to do something really bold and different for this one, something that I hadn’t seen before. Of course I had to incorporate velvet somehow (Duh) so why not this dreamy full length emerald green linen! From the brass candlesticks and wheat bunches to the orange pumpkins and yellow gourds it really was a color combination from heaven!

I hope you all are inspired and this helps give you the a little push that you need to just have fun and get creative with your table this Thanksgiving !

"My husband openly admits he originally thought hiring a wedding planner seemed like an unnecessary expense, now he’s is the first to say how wrong he was. Every detail was intentional and special. I had mentioned to Carianne my dad loved ice cream and before he passed away, we would always have special ice cream dates together. Carianne proceeded to make all my dreams come true and helped create a custom ice cream cart at our wedding. It meant the world to me and my family. Carianne is such a special person with an amazing gift for planning events. My husband and I are grateful for everything Carianne has done for us and we look forward to continuing a lifelong friendship with her."

"Carianne is the fairy godmother of weddings!"

"While Carianne helped us plan our wedding, she made sure to listen to every idea and was never afraid to tell us when something was unrealistic or if she felt there was something that would add to our vision. We are so grateful for the kindness and patience she showed. She worked to take the stress off of us and our families. We have no regrets from that weekend and we have her to thank for that. We don’t know what we would have done without her!"

"Carianne's strength is definitely executing on a wedding vision! With our busy, growing careers it was great to have her to touch base with vendors and bring so much peace of mind the day of. She has an eye for design!"

"My husband and I are NOT big wedding people... we ended up eloping last minute, 4 months before our wedding date! Carianne was so excited for us and went with the flow. She took everything in stride! She helped us plan and execute our local wedding reception and gave us so many great ideas and tips. My entire family gushed about her the next day! I am certain that we couldn't have pulled off the most perfect wedding reception without her help. I think every bride needs a coordinator, and I'm recommending Carianne to everyone!"


"Carianne was so easy and wonderful to work with!"

“ I came to Carianne with only three months left to plan my wedding and in need of some serious help! She asked questions I didn’t think of and her ideas were magical. During the process, she made sure things were going smoothly and stayed within my budget while still making my Pinterest dreams come to life! My parents are forever grateful for her coming and taking a huge weight off their shoulders. It was the best day of my entire life and Carianne made that happen!”

"From the moment we met Carianne, we knew we trusted her to help us execute our perfect wedding day. She was so helpful throughout the planning process, checked in frequently, and even helped us find vendors. When our wedding weekend arrived, she was so helpful and stayed to work out every detail the day before the wedding. I knew I didn't have to worry or even think about how a thing because she took care of everything. It was such a help to myself, my husband, and our families to have Carianne there to take care of all the details. You would be crazy to not hire Carianne for any event you may have!
