Happy Birthday, Alex! 35 of Her All-Time Favorites

It’s our founder and CEO’s birthday month, and that means it's time for a celebration! For this year's birthday edit, we decided to do things a little differently. Instead of the usual birthday party overview, I interviewed Alex on her 35 favorite things for her 35th birthday. At age 35, experience meets confidence, and meaningful moments create a deeper appreciation for life. This year is not just a milestone; it's a signature era of self-assurance, chicness, and timeless style.

As a wedding planner who spends her days bringing other people’s love stories to life, she thought it was only fitting to celebrate the things that have a spot in her story. From the details that inspire her designs to the small comforts that get her through long wedding days, this list is a glimpse behind the scenes. It’s a collection of the things she loves, how she keeps calm after a stressful day, and what continues to spark her creativity in both life and business. Use this list as gift-giving inspiration or an idea of how to treat yourself!
