Happy NYE from MRE! It’s certainly been a challenging one...I think we can all agree haha! But I’m hopeful & optimistic for next, so cheers to making beautiful memories in 2021! #marissareneeevents #napaweddingplanner #weddingolanner #weddingdesiger #sonomaweddingplanner

Sketching cake designs might be my new favorite thing! I used the fall Cinnamon Spice color palette that I posted last week as the inspo for the florals & leaves on this stunner.

So thankful and grateful for my amazing & trusting couples, talented friendors and all of my loved ones. Happy Thanksgiving from MRE!

Fun fact: I’ve always been drawn to darker, moodier tones. Although, this probably doesn’t come as a surprise to most of you based on my design work haha! I love a little edge when it comes to my designs. Give me pops of black, deep burgundy, emerald, mustard & rust any day! That’s probably why I love working with fall & winter color palettes so much! . ....

Unique tablescape designs are right up my alley! For Chelsea & Adam’s wedding, we stacked vintage books, hand selected by the couple, as the centerpiece for our round tables. And then I tucked library cards with their guests names into the pages of the books. To finish the look, @naturerules.co stacked the cutest little florals on top! So each tablescape was completely unique & I love how it turned out! Swipe to see a few different versions! . ....

How about we kick off the week with a little Meet Marissa Monday? And this time..Fall edition! You guessed it, Fall is by far my favorite season! I love pumpkin flavored things, but not all! I’m obsessed with pumpkin bread or any pumpkin baked goods for that matter, pumpkin cream cold brew, pumpkin coffee creamer, pumpkin ravioli etc.... Pumpkin things I don’t like: not a big fan of PSLs.. there I said it! And I know this one is controversial, but I hate carving pumpkins. I don’t like the way the insides feel on my hands. Also could do without pumpkin pie. Gimme all the fall scented candles! Constantly burning them in my apartment! I don’t love carving pumpkins, but I love going to the pumpkin patch & picking out cute little pumpkins to decorate with all over my apartment! I love hot apple cider & apple cider donuts! Oh, and I love those caramel apple lollipops haha! Huge fan of cozy scarves & cute little pom pom beanies! I love cooking hearty turkey chili & the fall time is the perfect time to enjoy it! Although, let’s be real..I make it all year round because it’s literally one of my favorite foods!

Sharing a little sneak peek of an ultra romantic & super dreamy secret garden inspired design that I’m working on for one of my Sept 2021 couples! We’re going to use lots of deep burgundy shades with hints of mauve & cream tones to accent their whimsical venue! Inspo photos for our design board:...
