I’m not interested in perfection.
Sure, it’s beautiful. But it’s also predictable. Boring.
And an occasion as special as your wedding should never be boring.
My take? Love is beautiful, and it’s messy. Both can coexist. So I apply that same principle to my wedding designs: luxurious, but messy. You (and your guests) have never seen anything like this before. Buckle up.

The In Ink Signature
sam & cal
If you're looking for a planner who is both organized and creative, and is also so cool that you'll want to be friends with her outside of your wedding, Syd is the planner for you.
Centers on messy luxury—like stuffing a half-eaten breakfast taco in my Ferragamo bag, or working on my business on the beaches of Barbados (laptop inevitably covered in sand).
Balances structure and spontaneity
Brings a sense of cool and calm to the creative chaos of wedding planning
Is vibrant, but grounded. I may have wild tastes, but I’m still a hard-working, down-to-earth Midwestern girl at heart.
my approach
I could tell you that I have a B.A. in Mass Communications and worked in non-profit events before starting In Ink Weddings in 2021, but resumes don’t tell you what is in someone’s heart. Mine holds a lifelong urge to make people feel celebrated; it gives me the warm-and-fuzzies. It’s why I plan weddings with an unexpected edge; surprising your guests with a truly novel experience is just as much a celebration of them as it is of you. Plus, the weirdo in me can’t help but relish an opportunity to do something a little bit odd every once in a while. I know I talk a big game, but designing your wedding is the greatest honor of my life—truly. I’m so humbled by your trust, and I won’t let you down.

You Can Expect
Diana Howe, VEGG Catering
Sydney is a standout among a sea of planners. She is so down to earth, fast to communicate and just on top of everything. She will exceed your expectations and execute your day flawlessly.
My portfolio is a feast for the eyes, but if you’re not finding exactly what you want on the menu, that’s simply because I haven’t planned your wedding yet. No repeats, no replicas—every event I design is made from scratch, with style to match.
