The XXII
Process.
Before the candles are lit, the tables are styled and the room comes together, there is a process — one built around discovering the right pieces, creating intentional combinations and designing an experience that feels like it was made for you.
We don't start with a template. We start with your story.
The XXII Process is where ideas become atmosphere. We explore colors, textures, florals, fabrics, serving pieces, decor and unexpected finds until the right combination begins to take shape. Some pieces may come from our existing collection. Others may be sourced specifically because they belong in your experience. The goal is never to recreate someone else's celebration — it is to create something that feels distinctly yours.
It starts with the feeling.
Before choosing a single piece, we think about what the experience should feel like. Intimate? Romantic? Warm? Bold? Relaxed? Elegant? That feeling becomes the foundation for every design decision that follows.
Then we go looking.
This is the part you may not see — walking through stores, searching vendor catalogs, comparing textures, finding unusual pieces and discovering the detail that suddenly makes the whole concept make sense.
Not everything beautiful belongs together.
We narrow the options, layer colors and materials, and choose pieces that complement one another without feeling overly matched. This is where separate items begin to become one cohesive experience.
We test the details before the guests arrive.
Tables are layered, arrangements are adjusted, decor is moved, folded, stacked and sometimes completely rethought until every piece feels intentional. The details matter because together they create the room.
Then it becomes yours.
On event day, all of those small decisions finally become one complete setting — styled around the people, the occasion and the memory you came to create.
Sometimes the perfect piece isn't in the event aisle.
Inspiration can come from anywhere — a textured tray, an unexpected vase, a fabric tucked into the back of a store, a serving piece that wasn't designed for events at all. We look beyond traditional event decor to find pieces that help each experience feel layered, personal and less predictable.
- Local stores + specialty shops
- Small businesses + makers
- Vendor catalogs + custom sourcing
- Florals, fabrics + textures
- Vintage-inspired + unexpected finds
- Pieces selected specifically for the experience
Before the final picture.
The finished event is only one part of the story. These are the shopping trips, mockups, packed cars, tables in progress and small decisions that happen before everything looks effortless.
Your celebration should feel inspired — not duplicated.
Trends may inspire us, but they never become the entire design. We pull from your vision, your occasion and the feeling you want to create, then build something with enough personality to stand on its own.
Bring the story. We'll find the details.
Every XXII experience begins with a conversation and grows through thoughtful sourcing, styling and design.
