6.22.24 | Gretchen + Ryan

When this thoughtful couple reached out, they didn’t have a venue or date yet, but they did have a vision — a lush garden party with a modern vibe and sustainable touches.

After nearly a year of planning together, their vision came to life! Their beautiful June wedding was a celebration of love, with lots of sustainable details:
🌿 Seasonal, fresh food
🌿 Local beer & wine offerings
🌿 Compostable palm leaf plates and bamboo flatware
🌿 Thrifted, rented, and reusable decor (hello, garden trellis seating chart!)
🌿 Glass and can recycling
🌿 100% locally-grown flowers

It was an honor to help bring it all together and it was so much fun planning with you both. Wishing you the best memories and many amazing years to come 🤍

“Caitria is an absolute gem…I could keep on going about all the things she did for us. Our venue had very specific vendor insurance requirements and she worked behind the scenes to take care of all that paperwork without us ever hearing about it. On the day-of, she helped calm the nerves before the walk down the aisle. She bustled the dress. She made sure that the photographer had the shot list beforehand. I could keep going on and on and on. And this is just the stuff I know. I am sure there is so much she did that I don’t even know about!”

Thank you for your kind words, B+N 🤍 There’s so much that coordinators do behind the scenes for a seamless wedding day, from anticipating the unexpected to managing details behind the scenes. We work to keep your day as smooth and stress-free as possible so that you can relax and enjoy!

6.1.24 | Berina + Hayden

Berina and Hayden’s wedding was pure joy to be a part of! They tied the knot at the stunning Willow Creek, surrounded by the warmth and love of family and friends who traveled from near and far to celebrate. Their vibrant garden wedding was filled with unique, personal touches, including Berina’s amazing colorful DIY flowers, her floral-embellished cape, a Romanian dance tune for their ceremony exit, and an incredible choreographed first dance! Congratulations to Berina and Hayden!🥂

This beauty by Posy Blue deserves a spot on the feed…we’re loving the color, and the fact that it is made entirely of flowers and greens grown in the Treasure Valley!

Of the many rewards that come with being a wedding planner, nothing tops being able to help a truly in-love couple get the day of their dreams. With this in mind, I am thrilled — if not a tad embarrassed at how long it’s taken me to post this — to talk about one of the most beautiful and joyou...

Happy Birthday to us! Verdant Events turns three today 🍰

My name is Caitria and I started Verdant Events three years ago out of a love for events, nature, and the details. My background is a Bachelor in Fine Arts and over a decade working events in the hospitality industry.

I named my business “Verdant” because it means green, and I have a passion for creating beautiful experiences that are kind to the environment. I enjoy helping couples find practical, meaningful, and budget-friendly ways to incorporate sustainability into their weddings.

I may be a little quieter than usual on social media right now - I’ve been busy gearing up for the 2024 wedding season, and spending cherished moments with my two-month-old daughter. However I love being busy because I LOVE what I do. I’m so grateful that I get to call this is my job, so thankful for the support from the wonderful people in this industry, and SO excited for the year ahead 🤍

Lots of fun wedding trends are emerging for 2024!🎊Here are a few of my favorites:

1. Fewer (or Modified) Wedding Traditions - Couples are leaning toward more modern celebrations, meaning fewer formalities and less rigid structure. Traditions that are included are often modified by the couple to be more meaningful to them - such as a private vow exchange separate from the ceremony, a modest cutting cake in lieu of a large tiered affair, joint parent dances instead of conventional ones, and gifting the bouquet in place of a toss.

2. Lively Color Palettes - From airy, cool tones of lilac and periwinkle to bold reds, royal blues, vivid oranges, and buttery yellows, vibrant color palettes are in! These bright colors may be incorporated into sculptural florals, bold patterns repeated throughout the wedding design, or in rich layered textural design details.

3. Interactive Guest Experiences - Couples are choosing to include engaging guest experiences throughout their day, such as a ring warming during their ceremony, an audio or digital guest book during cocktail hour, or a surprise late-night snack featuring a food that holds significance in their relationship.

4. Sustainability - Couples are seeking ways to make their weddings more sustainable! This may include locally grown flowers, seasonal food, repurposed decor, reconsidering single-use plastic, or a biodegradable confetti toss. There are many eco-friendly options that not only align with your style and budget, but enhance your wedding. DM me if you’re interested in learning more!🌿

5. Minimoon First, Honeymoon Later - Couples are opting for a shorter, nearby “minimoon” right after their wedding to relax and unwind, and then planning a larger honeymoon to take later. I love this trend, since a local low-key getaway will help you recharge after your wedding, and then you have a second trip to look forward to (and let’s be honest, save up for)!

Which 2024 trend is your favorite? Comment below!

Happy New Year’s Eve!🥂

Reflecting on 2023, I’m filled with gratitude for being able to work with amazing couples and for them trusting me to be a part of their wedding day. Looking ahead, to say I’m excited would be an understatement. I can’t wait to see next year’s weddings come to life, to grow as a planner, and to welcome our little one into the world very soon.

Cheers to 2024! 🍾
