✨ 2025 Wedding Trends ✨

Love is evolving, and so is the way we celebrate it! From personalized experiences to sustainable choices, 2025 weddings are all about authenticity and meaning. Here’s a sneak peek at the trends we’re seeing and loving:

🌿 Eco-Chic Weddings – Sustainable decor, farm to table and plant-based menus, and zero-waste practices are the way forward for couples who want to honor both love and the planet. 🌎

🎨 Bold Color Palettes – Say goodbye to traditional pastels and hello to vibrant hues! Think jewel tones, rich textures, and bold contrasts for a wedding that’s as unique as you are. 💖💙💛

📜 Personalized Ceremonies – More couples are opting for personalized vows (but many are choosing to read them privately!) and ceremonies that reflect their unique love stories. And UNPLUGGED ceremonies are definitely in. Every detail matters, from the music to the readings. 📝💕

💍 Non-traditional Engagement Rings – Vintage, custom, and colorful gemstones are replacing the traditional diamond in 2025—making engagement rings as unique as the couple! 💎

📹📸 Film Photography & Extra First Looks. First looks aren't just for the newlyweds these days... we're seeing first looks with moms, dads, and besties, too! 🫶

What are some trends you are seeing and/or incorporating into your wedding?

I am an Alexandria-based wedding coordinator who brings more than just experience to the table—I bring specialized expertise. Before diving into the world of wedding coordination on a full-time basis, I worked as a paralegal and learned an invaluable lesson: in any field, whether it’s law or weddings, there’s immense value in focusing on what you know best. 🔍

Just like a lawyer who specializes in a specific area of law, I’ve chosen to specialize exclusively in coordinating weddings in the Douglas County area. This allows me to walk into your venue with 110% confidence, knowing the ins and outs of each location and having the ability to navigate every detail to perfection.

When you hire me, you’re not just getting a wedding planner/coordinator—you’re getting a trusted expert in the unique charm and logistics of our local venues. Let’s make your dream day the best day ever, without a hitch. 🏰💐

📅 DM me to schedule a consultation!

When the best babysitter you ever did have for your most treasured possessions 👬 asks you to coordinate her wedding day. 🥹 The answer is…. Yes, yes, YES!!! HELL YES!

She finally gets to be the farmer’s wife, and I couldn’t love that more for her!! 😍🥰❤️
