We love how sweet it is when parents play matchmaker. When Hailey met her future father-in-law at the restaurant she worked at part-time, she almost didn't give her number to him when he insisted she would be a great match for his son.

Savannah Hope |  June 22, 2017

She says, “My clients always ask me how they can involve their groom more, and I always suggest finding ways to do so through the décor because of the big aesthetic pay off.
