PRECISION
I’ve always carried a heart full of dreams, believing in the power of love, even when my own felt uncertain. Life took its twists and turns, but everything shifted the day I met Luca. What began as an unexpected encounter soon unfolded into the greatest adventure of my life: our marriage in 2010 and, soon after, the joy of raising our two incredible children, Nicole and Noah. Their laughter fills our days, their love fuels everything I do. They are the heartbeat of Luxe and Bloom, the reason behind its spirit, its strength, and its soul.
Before following my heart into weddings, I spent over a decade thriving in high-pressure marketing and corporate event management. Those years taught me how to pivot with purpose, lead with clarity, and execute with precision. Today, I weave that discipline together with a deep creative vision, serving each couple with the same devotion and detail I bring to the most meaningful moments in my own life.

Want to connect and share the things you love?
Born and raised in South Africa, and now married to an Italian, my love for food, culture, and heartfelt hosting runs deep. I treasure moments around the table whether it's an intimate dinner at home or a spirited celebration with friends always filled with laughter, flowing wine, and unforgettable cuisine. For me, the magic is in the details and the joy of bringing people together.
Italian at heart
Being near water has always been my way to reset it’s where I feel most grounded and inspired. From the wild shores to the tranquil lakes, water has a way of quieting my mind and awakening my creativity. It’s in those still, reflective moments that ideas begin to form. The gentle rhythm, the play of light, the ever-changing hues—all feed my imagination and infuse my work with feeling and intention.
