Janina's passion for events stems from her love of the performing arts world and the pure magic of the process behind a production. Starting from simple words on a script to becoming something real; fueled by a palpable live energy that brings people together!
As an adult, she rediscovered that love within the events world; pursuing a hospitality degree from UNLV, working in an exciting lighting design career for luxury event markets, and finally a decade of designing weddings across California and Nevada; finding her true calling! She is now honored to be able to share her passion here in Colorado, after moving here in 2024.
When not in events mode, you can find Janina - quad-roller skating, out dancing, out at karaoke, or grabbing cocktails with girlfriends, working on her culinary & craft mixology training, analyzing films and TV series for deeper meanings, and on occasion traveling the world with her husband and new puppy - Lox!

My name is Heather, and I bring over 11 years of experience in the event planning industry to the beautiful world of weddings. While I’m newer to wedding planning specifically, the process of planning my own special day sparked a deep passion for creating meaningful, unforgettable celebrations.
Having grown up with my dad in the industry, I developed an early appreciation for what it truly takes to execute a flawless event. From the smallest details to the biggest moments, I believe every element should reflect each couple’s unique love story.
When I’m not working with clients to design their perfect day, I’m a proud mom to a sweet little boy. In my downtime, you can find me enjoying a glass of wine or curled up for a cozy Disney movie marathon with my toddler.
I’m dedicated to bringing your Colorado wedding vision to life—thoughtfully, beautifully, and with every detail just right.

I bring creativity, organization, and genuine care to every wedding and event I support. As a former high school English teacher, I’ve carried my love for structure, communication, and attention to detail into the event world, where I now work in bartending, event support, and swim instruction while growing my businesses, Two Paws & A Pour Bar Co. and Two Paws Crochet Co.
I’m known for my calm presence and team-focused mindset, especially in fast-paced environments. I truly enjoy supporting couples, planners, and bartending teams to help create seamless, memorable celebrations where everyone can feel at ease and fully enjoy the moment.
Currently, I’m focusing on working with a select number of event companies so I can provide more intentional, high-quality support throughout the season. I’m available for weddings in need of an assistant planner or bartender and would love to be part of bringing your event to life with reliability, positivity, and care.

Silk Bloom Floral Rentals
Something Borrowed Blooms has been helping couples save thousands of dollars on wedding flowers for over five years, serving over 15,000 weddings to date. We know what couples want and need in wedding flowers and understand how important it is to stay within budget. Here are the three main reasons to choose silk blooms over fresh; cost, convenience, and sustainability.
Cost
On average, Something Borrowed Blooms saves couples over 70% compared to a traditional florist. When looking at the cost for each item, the difference in price can make or break your ceremony and reception, not to mention your wallet! If you’re still wanting fresh florals, consider mixing in silk for the reception to save on cost.
A bridal bouquet with a fresh florist can cost you anywhere between $175-$250, but with SBBlooms, you can rent the bridal bouquet of your dreams for only $65. With a price difference this major, it’s pretty hard to say no, especially when guests can rarely tell the difference!
