Hydrangeas and heartfelt details
This special anniversary was all about honoring 60 incredible years of love and partnership for B. and A. Hackney. Their daughter, who spearheaded the planning, gave us full creative liberty to design a celebration that reflected her parents’ enduring bond. Inspired by Mrs. Betty’s love for hydrangeas, we developed a design centered around vintage white and blue hues, nodding to the timeless “something white and something blue” wedding tradition.
The decor was intentionally infused with personal touches, including framed photos of the Hackneys’ cherished memories. From a snapshot of their cake-cutting moment displayed beside their anniversary cake to a striking print of their wedding day at the entrance, each element told the story of their journey together. The design process was as much about emotion as aesthetics—our goal was to create a romantic yet nostalgic atmosphere that celebrated their love through the decades.
Bringing the Hackneys' legacy to life
On the day of the event, we transformed the Hackneys’ home into a charming and elegant venue. Every detail—from the lifelike faux florals to the meticulously staged table displays—was designed to embody warmth and sophistication. We surprised the family with a custom welcome sign featuring a collage of photos from their wedding day, beautifully accented with cascading baby’s breath. This heartfelt addition became an instant conversation starter and set the tone for the celebration. Our team handled the setup and teardown with precision, allowing the family to focus on reconnecting with loved ones and soaking in the joy of the day.
