Blue Lily Event Planning

01/10/2025

I came across this post from years ago and it still rings true. It’s good to remind myself of this every now and then ♥️

Learning to live life a little bit slower and letting go of certain things. Remembering that comparing myself to others never results in anything good. My journey is not the same as everyone else’s journey. Tasks and life can begin to pile up, sometimes my email inbox is empty and sometimes it’s the furthest thing from it. Sometimes I can be totally present on social media, and sometimes other things are just far more important. For 3 days I’ll be super healthy and remember to eat salads and drink water, and then it’s a day of nachos, cookies and wine. And this is ALL ok. It’s called balance and I’m working on it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I first started this adventure, I had a moment of thinking that maybe I was doing it wrong, and that I wasn’t the same as everyone else. A wise person who I respect and love very much told me to do what I love. People like me because I’m not the same as everyone else. And if I kept doing what I thought I would appreciate if I was the customer and stayed true to what I loved and valued, it would all work out. That was the best business and life advice I’ve ever received and I often have to remind myself of it. You do you people and embrace that glorious mess that you are! 💕

Bud vases have a way of adding such charm to a reception space. The mix of soft pastels and vibrant pops of color in the floral arrangements brings an air of playful elegance, while the clean, crisp white linens keep everything feeling fresh and timeless.

We love the single flower stem thoughtfully placed on each napkin. A simple touch that makes a big impact—inviting each guest to feel like part of a beautiful story.

It’s these subtle yet intentional details that make a design so personal and unforgettable. Thank you for trusting us to bring your vision to life.

The mom of our bride worked extra hard gardening for the wedding. All that love and hard work certainly paid off. This was the most beautiful display of home gardening we’ve seen to date. 💛

As your wedding planner, one of my top priorities is not only ensuring that your big day reflects your vision, but also that your guests leave with memories they’ll cherish forever. We want them to say "That was the BEST wedding!" when they leave at the end of the night.

A truly exceptional guest experience comes down to three key factors:

Comfort, Connection, and Celebration.

Yesterday we had our annual holiday team party at making wreaths with Tina of . It was the nicest afternoon. 💛

I’ve been trying to find the words to express just how grateful and lucky I am to know this group of outstanding humans. Honestly, I can’t. They are just that wonderful. They are kind, creative, hard working beyond belief, supportive of everything we do, fun, and give everything they have to our couples and everyone they know.

My heart is full. ♥️ Because of all of them, I get to do what I love and I could not be more grateful. THANK YOU!

This wedding from a few weeks ago is what intimate wedding dreams were made of. A total of 24 guests, a lovely backyard ceremony on the ocean. So many beautiful and cozy spaces to sit and visit. Tasty cocktails, the most gorgeous and lush florals and a delicious 4 course dinner with wine pairing.

Everything about it was lovely. 🩷

Happiness is opening your email to find that the bride sent you some amazing decor pics from their recent wedding.

It was an absolute pleasure working with this couple. I always ask my couples this question when we first meet. “ you walk into the room, it’s all set up, candles are lit, and no one is there yet, how does it look, and how does it feel”?

Their answer: hollywood glam, clean and cohesive, not cluttered, intimate feeling, posh family dinner

I think we got it 🤍🖤🩶

Magical garden vibes for Kate and Tyson this last weekend. ☀️🌻🌷🪴

Thank you for allowing us to be there on your special day. 🩷

From the bride: Thank you for everything, Saturday was absolutely perfect. You and your team made everything go so smooth, we didn’t even have to worry about anything.

The way you arranged the ceremony decor and our sweetheart table was stunning. I felt like I was in a fancy garden.
