karen + leonard

There is nothing I love more than working with nice, organized and creative people. So when Karen came by my shop I was thrilled to help her {considering she was a whole lot of all three wonderful characteristics}. She was in the mist of pulling off the best wedding day surprise ever… not for her husband, but for her entire family and closest friends. The plan was in motion. She invited the special attendees to an engagement party at her apartment, but what they didn’t know was the party was actually their wedding. Eeek! A wedding! The layout of Karen and Leonard’s apartment was perfect. Upon entering the front door, guests trekked up a flight of stairs before the shock and confusion set in. A photographer captured the surprised looks on each guest’s face as they learned they were about to witness two wonderful people commit to a lifetime of love. I mean, what could be better than that?! Following the nuptials {and as the initial shock wore off} the guests were relocated to the clubhouse for cupcakes, drinks and smiles. I have a sneaky suspicion this is a wedding their guests will not soon forget! Congrats Karen and Leonard and their little man {how adorable is he?!}!
