For the dads and father figures who taught us to l For the dads and father figures who taught us to love unconditionally, dream big, and always lend a helping hand — Happy Father’s Day. 🖤 If you’re still looking for a meaningful way to honor the father figure in your life, here are a few last-minute ideas that feel personal and thoughtful: ✨ Host a toast – A simple gathering with his favorite drink and a few heartfelt words goes a long way. 🧤 Gift an experience – Tickets to a game, a golf session, or a weekend away — something he wouldn’t book for himself. 🖋️ Write a note – A handwritten letter with your favorite memory or lesson learned from him. (Frame it for bonus points.) 🥩 Set the table – Whether it’s grilling at home or a steakhouse dinner, make it feel intentional. Use the good plates. ⌚️Share some quality time – Sometimes the best gift is your presence and simply being reminded of how much they’re loved. Whatever you do, make it yours — and his. 🤍 📸 @shannons_photo #FathersDay #CassieLaMereEvents #CelebrateWithStyle #HostingWithHeart #MeaningfulMoments #FathersDayIdeas #HonorHim

They see the vows, the florals, the magic. We see They see the vows, the florals, the magic. We see the 1,000’s of decisions and people that brought it to life. Being a wedding planner means stepping into one of the most personal moments of someone’s life — and obsessing over every detail to make sure it feels like theirs. It’s creative direction at the highest level and logistical precision. It’s once-in-a-lifetime moments and “We’ve got you” contingency plans. It’s walking through the unexpected with calm, clarity, and maybe a little waterproof mascara in your bag. Today is National Wedding Planner Day — and while we don’t do it for the spotlight, we’re raising a glass to the heart, the hustle, and the privilege of what we get to do. Here’s to the couples who trust us. The teams who help make it all happen. And the beauty of being by your side every step of the way. 🤍 📸 @kilpat #NationalWeddingPlannerDay #CassieLaMereEvents #WeddingPlanner #LuxuryWeddings #EventDesign #WeddingPlanning #WeddingInspo #EventPlanner #EventPlanning
