About Behind the Story: Our Process & Journey
Before we touch a single flower or fabric swatch, we spend hours listening to your quirks and roots. Our process isn't about choosing a trend; it's about translating your specific history into a physical space, whether that means custom coasters featuring your pet’s face or recreating a memory through soft, moody lighting.
In 2014, my first gig was a small stall with photobooth props. There were no mentors or fairy godmothers, just a lot of nerve and a desire to make the wedding industry feel less like a conveyor belt. That first leap taught me everything I know today about trust and collaboration.
Over the last decade, we have grown from that initial, slightly chaotic energy into a tight-knit studio. My team and I do not follow rigid templates. We do not believe in packages that stifle personality. Instead, we use your story as the blueprint. If your grandmother had a favorite garden, we find flowers that reflect that. If your courtship involved late-night drives, we layer in vintage lamps and soft textures to mimic that warmth.
Our 'With Love' philosophy means we are the people who care about the placement of every single brass lamp. We handle the technical heavy lifting—the staging, the lighting rigs, the structural fabrications—so that you can focus on the people in the room. We work with partners who are as obsessed with the details as we are, ensuring that when you walk into your venue, it does not look like an event. It looks like you.
With Love, Nilma
I’m Nilma. Ten years ago, I started with just a few photobooth props and a lot of nerve, wanting to make celebrations feel human again. Today, my team and I hold onto that same 'slightly mad' energy, obsessing over the tiny, quiet details that make your event feel like home.
