our story

How it began

In 2016, Meaghan was newly married, working a full-time engineering job, and seeking to exercise her creative side. She picked up some brush pens, a nib holder, and some ink and instantly fell in love with the art of calligraphy.

Over the first couple of years, Meaghan stretched her business muscles and tested the waters of Etsy sales, holiday decor, custom home items, and more. Ultimately she found her place in the wedding world and never turned back.

What it’s become

Weddings and events have a special place in Meaghan’s heart. As someone who had planned a wedding before starting this business, she understands not only the organization and time required but also the emotional connection to every single detail. Brides want to create memorable moments and for guests to feel included and delighted by their day. We love to work with clients who feel that desire to create an incredible event not only for themselves but for their guests as well.

What’s so lucky about 13?

The number 13 has been significant to Meaghan for her entire life. Her mom’s birthday is June 13th and her parents were married on August 13th. Meaghan was born on August 13th—her parents’ 4th anniversary! When Meaghan and her now-husband, Nick, were planning their wedding, it was all too fitting that June 13th fell on a Saturday that year, so it became their wedding date (with permission from her mom, of course). Meaghan and her mom share birthdays and anniversaries, and their lucky number: 13.

I’m a Rocket Scientist.

No really, I have a degree in aerospace engineering! I’m a problem solver by nature and I have 8+ years of engineering project management experience.
