✨ SIMPLICITY ✨

Often times, less is more. Elegant and clean lines often elevate tablescapes more then you think. A name card and classic flateware setting speaks volumes.

I always recommend the following:
• a name card. This you can personalize to tie your theme and colours in. ✨

• a water glass (filled) & wine glass.

• table wines

• a classic fork/knife + napkin setting.

*optional*

• a charger
• menu
• party favour

AVOID
• large floral arrangements where your guests are unable to see eachother 💐

• un-enclosed candles (fire hazard!)

• not enough space between tables (restricting guest movement) 🪑

✨ SENTIMENT ✨

As the wedding season quickly approaches, I am working on many of the personalized details for my weddings. Personal touches, unique stationary, a personal guest book are all small touches that tie the whole wedding together.

Wether it is heading to the print shop, putting together favour boxes, or picking up frames for photos, I am your champion of sentiment. ✨🤍📸

There are many levels to planning - and I am here to think about all the levels for my clients. 🙌🏻

✨ TABLESCAPE ✨

Have you been imagining and planning the decor of your wedding since you were a little girl?! Me to! However, when planning the decor out there are some logistics to keep in mind:

1. What service of meal are you having?

-If it’s plated or buffet, you can go wild with decor, however, family style you need to keep the decor down to a minimum.

2. Cost

- decor costs MONEY. Chargers range from $1-$6. Plates, flatware, glasses, florals, signage… it all adds up. Budget & number of guests will be a huge component.

3. Logistics

- have you hired a planner + their team for set up & tear down? Is there storage at your venue? How are you transporting the decor to and from!?

There are many simple, elegant, and cost effective ways to elevate your tables, I am full of ideas! Hire me, we will design and curate a perfect table for your event 🍽️ 🌷

✨ DESIGN ✨

Last night I posted onto my stores about this design and got A TON of messages and interest. Well what does this look like?

With my FULL PLANNING package I offer design as an inclusion. In this process I collaborate with my clients and work out an overall vibe. I then spend many many hours coming up with a design package, this includes:

• overall vibe
• attire guide
• florals
• ceremony
• reception
• signage + details
• colour pallet

From here, the clients review which results in our initial revision. Then I get to work making the design inspo COME TO LIFE. This process almost always includes other industry professionals (florists, decorators, venue owners, stationed consultation and rental experts).

Sound like something you’d want?! Well it’s all included in my full planning package. Step 1: book me! Step 2: get designing!

(One of my June 2025 designs, can’t wait for this one!!!)

✨ WELCOME ✨

Hear me out.

You’ve booked a wedding in the Okanagan. People are travelling from all over for your wedding. International, cross Canada, long road trips…the works. You want to make your guests feel special and welcome. A simple, effective, and classy way to do that is with a welcome beverage.

Typically a glass of sparkling - something cool, bubbly and light. Prosecco, champagne, sparkling cider, or Cipes are popular options. Served in glass. Elevated experience curated. Done ✔️

Add this to the budget. You won’t regret it. Oh, and book me as your planner, I am full of ideas and guidance! 🤍✨

✨ Womanhood ✨

there is something different about being a girl. Women have a natural and beautiful ability to curate and create life lasting connections with women. I swear we need to talk about things a minimum of 3 times. Were there to lift eachother up, celebrate the joy, support through the sad, encourage when discouraged, sympathize with eachother during frustration.

I don’t think women were built to be alone. We are designed to need a community. Lifting eachother up, doing motherhood together, supporting eachother business.

In this industry, I am proud of all the independent, boss babes that own their business. I am proud to bring business to other women and support each others dreams and passion.

It’s also an honour to witness some incredible friendships and bonds on the wedding day… like Sydney and her girlies.

Happy international women’s day to my friends, colleagues, fellow business owners, clients, and all the women in between. Here’s to you 🥂

✨ 2026 ✨

I am all about highlighting and creating intimate moments for my clients on their wedding day. A secret champagne toast, a small moment with their kids, a private cocktail hour snack, or a golden hour photo session. It’s all about creating lasting memories 🤍

I am 40% full for next summer & searching for my next few clients to work with in creating and dreaming up their wedding dreams. I only have one opening for September left!!! What does this mean? Brides, book your vendors now. I’d recommend securing:

✨ venues
✨ photographers
✨ planners

Why?

We are (usually) the vendors that only take one wedding per weekend/limited per season, and we are booking NOW. Have questions?! Drop below 👇🏼

✨ Wondering if you should hire a planner? If one of these apply to you, you absolutely should ✨

1. You’re not local. You just don’t know where to start. Hiring a local wedding planner gives you accurate and up to date knowledge on the regions information. From everything to local hot spots, weather knowledge, bylaw information and vendor procurement. ✈️

2. You don’t have time. Time is money. Weddings on average take 200 hours to plan. That’s ALOT OF HOURS. Pick up an extra shift, release the stress and hire a professional. ⏰

3. You want to stay on budget (maybe even save!). Wedding planners help create, track and manage your budget. We suggest REALISTIC options for your day and help guide your decisions. We have preferred vendor lists where we get discounts for our clients. 💰

I am NOW booking 2026 weddings. 40% booked for the season, NOW is the time to book. Message me!

🌧️ Planning for Rain on Your Outdoor Wedding Day 🌧️

When dreaming of an outdoor wedding, we all envision beautiful sunny skies, but it’s always wise to prepare for the unexpected. Here’s how to handle a little rain on your special day! ☔️

1. Have a Backup Plan: Always have an indoor or covered space ready just in case. A tent or nearby indoor venue can save the day.

2. Weatherproof Your Décor: Choose weather-resistant décor that can withstand a little drizzle – think lanterns, waterproof flowers, and sturdy seating!

3. Provide Guests with Comfort: Offer stylish umbrellas or cozy shawls for guests to stay dry and still enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.

4. Embrace the Rain: If you love the romantic vibe of raindrops, consider incorporating it into your photos or ceremony for that extra magical touch! 🌈

5. Coordinate with Vendors: Make sure your vendors know your rain plan so they’re ready for any last-minute changes.

Remember, rain on your wedding day is said to be good luck! 🍀 Don’t let it dampen your spirits—just go with the flow! 💫

love wins every time ✨🤍

celebrating love…name a better way to spend a day… most of your invite list will not! Especially if your wedding is in the Okanagan. Often we can anticipate that 10% of invited guests will not attend the wedding; however, this is not always the case.

Many of my clients are out of town clients coming from across North America, Europe and Australia. Their guests travelling huge distances for the celebration. One of my inclusions for planning is creating an event week for travelling guests.

A week of activities. Local hotspots, delicious restaurant recommendations, adventures, and of course, the best wineries!!!

All included in my FULL SERVICE planning package!!! Inquire today to learn more!!

✨ A personal note ✨

Molly, how do you do it? How are you running a business, have 2 under 2, maintain a home, work nursing part time, travel… be a human? A few notes on this…

1. I grew up in a small business household. I was 10 years old when my dad asked me to cover the phones for him to have a nap. Looking back this was an excellent sales strategy, who doesn’t love a polite 10 year old voice saying her dad will call them back? My point? It’s in my bones. My business is becoming my life, following me everywhere I go, just like my self made parents 🩷✨

2. Insane energy. I’m not joking. Type A, first born, go getter. Scared of silence and alone time. It’s my strength and my achilles heel.

3. Extraordinary time management. In nursing school this was always where I excelled. Where I needed to work? Slowing down (🙄). I allot hours in my day every day for planning. I have a physical calendar where I schedule in wedding checkins, follow ups, even Instagram posts. Further, I schedule my personal life MONTHS in advance; however, there isn’t always a lot of time for spontaneous adventures at this point and time 😵‍💫

4. Passion. I LOVE weddings, which makes this work, feel less like work. I love creating events that capture the essence of my clients love, highlighting personal touches, and embracing joy. It’s truly beautiful
