Cherry blossoms are a welcomed sight to see after an especially cold winter in NJ. They are a sign that spring is officially here and the warmer weather is on its way. In the beginning of April I drove down to Maryland, and tucked back on a quiet road I arrived at the Aspen Wye River Conference center to attend the Bayside Workshop. Upon arriving at the property and waiting for the workshop to begin I saw out the window a gorgeous cherry blossom garden in full bloom soaking up the sun. It was then I knew I the next two days would be spectacular! The workshop was filled with beautiful details, lots of pictures, learning, and the kindest group of creatives coming together in the spirit of community over competition. The hostesses could not have been more welcoming and surprised us around every corner with styled snacks, personalized materials, and of course a romantic styled photo shoot for the record books! The styled shoot included hues of blue that danced across the table, a striking navy tuxedo, delicate lace wedding gown and stunning florals to tie it all together. I felt like I watched Cinderella have a garden wedding surrounded by cherry blossoms on a warm April afternoon!

Thank you to all the vendors who made this workshop possible!
