Love Birds & Co. @lovebirdsvintage
I really feel like exceptional event production is finding that delicate balance between beauty, design and personal expression. From our first meeting, I encourage our clients to start collecting items and images that speak to them both personally and as a couple. Favorite colors and textures, vacation destinations, clothing, even the style of engagement ring
gives
insight
into
a
couple’s
collective
personality. That’s why it is so important to get to know our clients on a deeply personal level. We want to make sure that they feel included and heard throughout the creative process. Events must be a true expression of their personalities to be both aesthetically beautiful and wonderfully meaningful.
- Tiffani Price, Love Birds & Co.

“I am normally not an emotional person, but being able to read our vows to each other with no one else around was one of the most intimate exchanges we’ve had in our relationship. To be able to profess our love and appreciate it in that moment was definitely a tear jerker for the both of us.” KIM, BRIDE
