Aja & Grady’s Palm Beach Welcome Party at The Canopy Treehouse

June 16, 2025

Hello Friends!

Every unforgettable wedding weekend begins by welcoming family and friends with warmth, excitement, and a glimpse of what’s to come. Before Aja and Grady exchanged vows in beautiful Palm Beach, they invited their guests to kick off the celebration with an evening high above Downtown West Palm Beach at Treehouse, the rooftop restaurant at Canopy by Hilton.

Knowing how much the couple loves spending time near the water, Palm Beach was the perfect destination to begin this new chapter. Their welcome party set the tone for the entire weekend—relaxed, sophisticated, and thoughtfully designed to bring loved ones together before the wedding day.

 THE SETTING

Perched above the city with sweeping rooftop views, Treehouse provided a beautiful backdrop for the evening’s festivities. Floating florals transformed the pool into a striking focal point while guests enjoyed an atmosphere that felt both elegant and inviting.

Every design element was intentionally curated to reflect Aja and Grady’s vision while encouraging guests to relax, reconnect, and celebrate together.

THE WELCOME EXPERIENCE

One of my favorite parts of a destination wedding weekend is watching family and friends reconnect before the wedding festivities begin. The welcome party creates space for meaningful conversations, joyful reunions, and the excitement of everything still to come.

Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed light bites, signature cocktails, a curated cigar experience, and music that kept the celebration going well into the night. Together, these thoughtful touches created an unforgettable experience that perfectly reflected the couple’s warm hospitality.

CREATIVE PARTNERS

Beautiful celebrations are always a collaboration, and I am grateful to the incredible creative partners who helped bring this evening to life, including Canopy by Hilton West Palm Beach Downtown, Xquisite Events, Paper Daisies Stationery, Simply Great Productions, and Cigar Stud.

The evening beautifully reflected Aja and Grady’s love for gathering with family and friends, creating the perfect beginning to a wedding weekend filled with thoughtful details, joyful moments, and unforgettable memories.

Stay tuned as I share more from their Palm Beach wedding celebration.

A little greenery in the kitchen that’s as useful A little greenery in the kitchen that’s as useful as it is beautiful. 🌿

I love keeping fresh basil, mint, and rosemary within reach—whether I’m adding basil to an appetizer, mint to a refreshing cocktail, or clipping a little rosemary for an unexpected flower moment.

It’s one of those everyday details that makes the kitchen feel a little more special.

I’m sharing more about my kitchen herb garden, along with a few of my favorite ways to use each herb, today on The Ebony Edit at ebonypeoples.com.

There’s something especially nice about happy hour There’s something especially nice about happy hour at home. 🍷

Nothing elaborate—just a favorite glass of wine, a few simple bites, and a little time to slow down.

For this little happy hour moment, I poured a glass of Riesling and paired it with a simple board of sharp cheddar, salami, pepperoni, crackers, grapes, olives, and glazed nuts.

Sometimes, making an ordinary afternoon feel special really can be that simple.

The full story, The Simple Pleasure of Happy Hour at Home, is now on The Ebony Edit at ebonypeoples.com.

Every day is a day worth celebrating. ✨

Before the guests arrive, there’s a quiet moment w Before the guests arrive, there’s a quiet moment when months of planning, design, and thoughtful details finally come together.

From an empty ballroom to a reception filled with draping, candlelight, florals, and carefully styled tables, every layer helps create the atmosphere for what’s to come.

Then the doors open, the room fills, and the celebration begins.

A simple appetizer, made just a little more special. 🌿

I shaped hummus into a flower and finished it with chickpeas, fresh basil, sumac, olive oil, and a salami rose in the center. Served with warm naan dippers, it’s an easy idea for summer entertaining, happy hour, or a casual gathering at home.

Hello Friends! 💐 Fresh flowers don’t always have Hello Friends! 💐

Fresh flowers don’t always have to mean a full arrangement.

For this little kitchen flower moment, I filled magnetic test tubes with lavender, rosemary, and baby’s breath and arranged them right on the refrigerator.

It’s simple, unexpected, and such an easy way to bring a little beauty into an everyday space.

The full details are now on The Ebony Edit.

Every day is a day worth celebrating.

These chilled lavender towels take just a few minutes to prepare and are such a refreshing touch for warm summer days—whether you’re gathering for happy hour, enjoying dinner on the patio, or spending the afternoon outside.

A cool towel, a subtle lavender scent, and a few fresh sprigs are all it takes to make guests feel a little more comfortable.
