Walnut Studio is for couples who want a beautiful wedding, but don’t want wedding planning to take over their life.
Based in Omaha and serving the Midwest and beyond, we specialize in structured, highly organized planning for busy professionals and couples planning from a distance. Our role isn’t just to design a celebration — it’s to carry the mental load so you’re not managing vendors, timelines, and decisions.
We guide you step-by-step, help you prioritize what actually matters, and proactively handle logistics before they become stressful. By the time your wedding weekend arrives, you won’t be troubleshooting or answering questions, you’ll simply be present.
From coordination to full planning, our approach is calm, anticipatory, and detail-driven. You’ll always know what’s next, what’s handled, and what you don’t need to worry about.
We work with both intimate and large-scale weddings across the Midwest and accept a limited number of destination celebrations each year.

We were trying to plan a wedding in a totally different state and were drowning in details. Cara has stepped in and just handled it and been a pleasure to work with.

Walnut Studio, specifically Cara, were great to work with for our wedding and reception. We didn't know exactly what we needed but during the intro call, Cara went through everythi...
ng with us and laid out what we could expect during the planning process. From there, Cara took full ownership of vendors, logistics, and coordination. She was communicative during the entire process and made sure we always knew what mattered and when it mattered.
The coordination was flawless, Cara and Walnut Studios handled the catering, the venue, florist, bakery people, music so well and involved us when necessary for design and input. I wish we knew Walnut was an option sooner because everything felt so smooth. The day of the wedding went perfect and we didn't have to worry about a thing! No scrambling, no last minute details to iron out, it was all done!
Walnut Studio ensured the vision for our big day became reality for us and we couldn't be more appreciative. Cara allowed us to be present at our wedding without worrying about details and actually allowed us to enjoy the planning process. This is the way it should be. Our day was perfect! Thank you Walnut Studio, thank you Cara!
