the Hawthorne creative experience
At Hawthorne Creative Co., we believe planning your wedding should feel like a celebration and not a never-ending to-do list. Although, full disclosure, we love a good spreadsheet and have many a color-coded guide for our couples to utilize. Here's the deal, though - we want your wedding planning journey to be seamless and exciting. Champagne toasts? Yes. Cake tastings? Absolutely. Drowning in vendor contracts and timeline spreadsheets? Hard pass. That’s where we come in.
Our team specializes in full-service wedding planning and design in St. Louis, Missouri. Additionally, we offer partial planning and wedding management experiences - tailored to all couples.
With all of that said, we know the real reason you're here.. so let's get to the good stuff!
imagine this...
sipping a cocktail
and nodding your head
in approval as your
experienced WEDDING
planning team handles
the details of curating your perfect day
