The Heart Behind AURA

Hi, I'm Alexandria. 🤍

Milwaukee born, detail obsessed, and genuinely excited about every single event I get to be part of! Some people bring wine to a party. I bring a styled spread, a vision, and way too much enthusiasm.

If you ask my besties, they'll tell you I've been the "hostess with the mostess" for as long as anyone can remember. In our friend group, I'm the one who can't just have people over — I have to set the table, style the spread, make it feel like an experience. For years my friends and family called me the host queen, showed up to my gatherings and said "you need to do this for real," and honestly? They were right. With their encouragement, their belief in me, and a whole lot of love behind me — AURAMKE was born.

I started AURA MKE in 2024 and I haven't looked back since. What began as a passion for hosting and making beautiful moments for the people I love has grown into a full-service event experience brand — grazing tables, bloom bars, permanent jewelry, custom creations, and everything in between. If something can be made more beautiful, more intentional, more felt, I want to be the one doing it.

I've always believed that the details are what people remember. Not just the big moments, but the little ones — the way a grazing table makes guests stop and stare before they even take a bite, the look on a bride's face when she opens her bridesmaid box, the moment someone looks down at their permanently welded bracelet and just smiles. That's the stuff that gets me. That's why I do this.

AURA is my love letter to Milwaukee — to this city's incredible community of small businesses, creatives, and people who show up for each other. I am so proud to be building something here. Alongside my get it done bestie, Mackenzie of MILK Events, I also co-created Local Love MKE — a boutique wedding vendor pop-up designed to connect Wisconsin brides with the local businesses that were made for their big day. Because we believe local love should be celebrated and showcased!

Whether I'm setting up a lush grazing table, styling a bloom bar, welding a bracelet onto someone's wrist at a pop-up, or putting the finishing touches on a custom bridesmaid box — I show up the same way every time. All in. Obsessed with the details. And so grateful you're here.

XOXO
