MARIAH AND NOAH ☀️

Introducing…. the newlyweds! These two - oh. my. goodness.

Throughout the planning process for their big day, I had the pleasure of getting to know Mariah. Her kindness and care for her friends and family shined as she told me how happy she was to have accomplished her goal of not needing to ask her community to help set-up or take-down anything on their wedding day, gifting them the opportunity to be fully present for the full celebration 🥺

It wasn’t until their rehearsal that I had the pleasure of meeting Noah. With the biggest smile on his face he introduced himself, overflowing with gratitude and excitement to marry his person the following day.

Safe to say, I think these two have something special, not only in themselves as individuals - but in their love for each other and their community 💕

Cheers to the newlyweds!

Love letter from Ashley and Will 💌 —

“Shelby went above and beyond any of my expectations! The ex*****on of every little thing was perfection. Anything I needed help with she had a solution (or three)!

I am most grateful that with Shelby I got to enjoy my day and be present with my friends and family.”

One of the best things about this job is getting to know our couples 💕

Wedding planning can be stressful, let’s not sugarcoat it. At some point or another, almost every couple hits decision fatigue, having put countless hours into thinking about their wedding day.

When you hire a wedding planner, you’re hiring someone that’ll be in the trenches with you. Someone to tell you it’s okay if we simplify, and cross things off the to-do list so you don’t have to ✔️

I feel so honored to get to know our couples so deeply leading up to and on their big day. Hearing the stories their closest loved ones share during toasts, the vows they’re committing to each other and the private moments they’ve planned, to truly cherish and lay a strong foundation as their marriage begins.

When I ran into these two at a coffee shop last weekend so much joy immediately arose. How lucky am I to have clients that frequently turn into friends 🥰

Love letter from Mother of the Bride, Julie 💌 —

“The wedding day could not have been more stress free for me and I credit that to Aubrey and Jakob who handled all the details without a hitch.

Things just remarkably happened and I didn’t have to worry about a schedule. It was truly amazing to me how important the day of wedding coordinators are.

You think, “I can do it, it’s not that much” but I can tell you what a difference it made to me, the bride and even the photographer said how wonderful it was to have wedding planners.

A big thank you to you and your team!”

Hi, hey, hello 👋🏻

Felt like time for another introduction as our team starts to gear up for another busy peak wedding season this summer ☀️

Hi, I’m Shelby (Donald) - owner and lead planner and coordinator at 💕

A few of my favorite wedding memories since I took the jump out of corporate America and into weddings mid-pandemic (solid timing lol 😬):

- Getting to witness the sweetest father-daughter moment (caught on video) before a bride walked down the aisle 😭

- When a pig from a couple’s pre-ceremony cocktail hour got loose and the bride said she didn’t mind it running down the aisle with her 🐷

- That one time a bride shouted “you’re the MVP b*tch” at me across reception 😂

- Helping a couple sign a venue contract on-the-spot after a year of rescheduling due to the pandemic with their original venue 😭

- Hoisting a coworker up to dig through the garbage for a sentimental wine bottle (Queen of wow factors, IYKYK) 🍾

- Every. Single. Time. I get to be the first to congratulate newlyweds immediately after their ceremony 🥹🥂

What was your favorite moment of your wedding or those you’ve supported?!

ASHLEY AND WILL ☀️

This day could not have been more beautiful. In the days leading up to their big day, Boise spring decided to keep us on our toes a bit - sending in some horizontal rain, before bringing in perfect weather for their wedding weekend.

On top of perfect weather, the garden was in full bloom, making our job easy in enhancing the natural surrounding beauty through their decor 💕

These two were surrounded by SO much love as they laughed, cried and danced the night away, surrounded by stunning florals, delicious paella, oysters, cake and beverages, and the most caring and kind loved ones that traveled from near and far to partake in their celebration.

Cheers to Ashley and Will, we’re so happy for you two🥂

EMMA & PARKER 💕

One month ago, these two had a wedding day filled with joy and celebration surrounded by love!

After getting married in the temple, their closest friends and family celebrated their marriage with a reception at ❤️

The evening was a true combination of their favorite things - including a pasta bar, Italian soda station and ice cream display (complete with all the toppings).

The couple even enjoyed some French fries together as a nod to how they first met 🍟

Congratulations to the newlyweds!

A moment for the most epic cake cutting there ever was ⚔️

When Kari and Bill asked if we could unwrap and place a sword under their cake cutting table I immediately thought they were kidding 😂 they were not!

And I’m SO glad they weren’t because their guests were wide-eyed and speechless when they drew a huge sword to cut their cake.

Aka, this is your sign to do something out of the box if you’ve been considering it 💯

Love letter from Ally and Will 💌

“We cannot tell you how much of a gift Shelby was to us for our March 16, 2024 wedding, but we’re going to try!

She was a confidant, cheerleader, coordinator, and friend all-in-one, and we are so grateful. Our family and friends all told us how wonderful she was throughout the weekend! Her services were without a doubt the best thing we budgeted for and we’re so thankful for her. For those looking to be present and at peace on their wedding day, look no further than Shelby Donald Coordination!”

HAPPY EARTH DAY 🌎

While I love all weddings, those that lean heavily into nature, focusing on beautiful natural backdrops and leaning into surrounding landscapes as key elements of their design hold a special place in my heart.

In my free time you’ll find me traveling, skiing, hiking, backpacking - and just overall exploring the world 🌍

When I’m able to combine this passion for new, beautiful places with my love for bringing others together through celebrating love a special type of magic happens!

So, happy Earth day friends 🌱

ALLY & WILL 🤍

These two!!! Where do I even begin?!

Ally and I first connected after she had posted a few questions on a local wedding planning page, sharing that she’d be planning her wedding from out-of-state and needed some help finding local vendors 💕

Quickly, I realized we were meant to be as Will and I share a hometown (shoutout to the burbs of Denver), and all the details for their big day were being decided with the deepest intention, honoring them as individuals and a couple.

This started with them choosing to move up their wedding date to ensure some of their closest family members could be there, all the way to distributing handwritten notes to every single guest in attendance on their big day 💌

They honored Will’s background in coffee roasting with a morning coffee date (just the two of them) and cart pre and post-ceremony, and their first date of cannolis with for dessert ☕️

It was truly an honor to plan and celebrate alongside these two, and I have no doubt I’ll be seeing them again down the road ❤️

✨ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS✨

These are pretty self-explanatory (and wordy - whoops!), but adding some of the questions I’m asked most often during intake calls with couples searching for a wedding planner or coordinator.

Let’s talk about “day-of coordination” 🤍

In short, it’s not a real thing.

Well, kinda. In theory, it’s a real thing - AND it would be nearly impossible for someone to show up on your wedding day (without any background and context of your plans) and ensure your day goes off without a hitch.

AND, even if someone were to do that and everything day-of were to go perfectly, that still means you’re managing your own event (including all vendor questions and problems) until THE DAY of your wedding 🙅🏼‍♀️

Personally, that doesn’t sound like a good experience, which is why it’s a bit of a myth.

To be successful, effective and set you up for a wedding day you can truly be present for, if you’re looking to hire support I HIGHLY recommend hiring a month-of coordinator at the very least 🤍

Let’s talk memory tables 🖼️

What are they and why would you consider having one at your wedding?

Memory tables are meant to celebrate and memorialize anyone you wish could have been there to celebrate with you two on your big day 🤍

Typically, those pictured are close fiends or family members that have passed - and their photos are displayed and/or a candle is burned in their honor on a table located in or near your reception space.

This is one of many ways you can include loved ones that are no longer with us in your wedding day!

Save or share this post with someone in the process of planning their big day!

Today was one of those days that felt like “ah, yes - this is why we were meant to move to Boise” 🤍

I started off the day with a massage, given to me by someone my yoga instructor mentioned earlier this week, who I then ran into hours later - after chatting with another friend I had been messaging about about another connection the day before.

And that’s just Boise 🥰

Before we moved, the “small” community was my biggest fear. “There aren’t many job opportunities,” “I love living in a bigger city” and “I just wish the airport was a little bigger” we’re my favorite complaints.

And, I was craving community - the number one thing Boise has to offer (IMO). Today’s connections and run-ins were the perfect reminder of the community I’m now proudly a part of 💕

Let’s talk weaving cultural and religious customs and traditions into your wedding 🤍

As you and your partner unite in your marriage, you’re literally coming together to form a new family (IMO). This means there needs to be intentional space for your individual customs and traditions to come together.

Ana and Adam’s wedding day was the perfect example of their backgrounds intertwining ✨

Adam honored his Judahism through signing their Ketubah surrounded by their closest family, wearing a kippah (and encouraging male guests to do the same), completing The Seven Blessings under a chuppah and breaking the glass 👞

Ana honored her Latina heritage by choosing Cinco de Mayo as their wedding date, displaying papel picado banners on their welcome table and dancing to a live mariachi for their first dance 💃

But that wasn’t all! Ana and Adam also put their own spin on the typical American father-daughter wedding dance tradition in having Adam dance with his own new daughter, Ana’s daughter 😭

To say these two ensured their wedding was a true, authentic reflection of themselves and their union would be the understatement of the year 💕

VALUES 🤍

It’s been a minute since I last shared the values behind the business, so it felt like time to share them again.

One of the most rewarding experiences of building and growing this business has been creating these values, and sticking by them when they’re challenged ✨

At a 2023 wedding, I accidentally dropped one of my couple’s wedding gifts as I was packing it into their car. When I saw them then next day, I told them what had happened and said I would like to replace the gift if it had been damaged in any way. Could I have never told them what had happened? Sure - but that wouldn’t be doing the right thing and I’m committed to doing the right thing, even when (especially when) I make a mistake, because I’m human 🤍

These aren’t just words on pretty graphics - though I did try really hard to make them pretty 😉 - they’re true values I ground myself and my business decisions in regularly to ensure I’m building and growing in alignment with what this business stands for, and therefore what my couples can trust me to remain committed to in supporting them.

Save or share this with a couple that might be a good fit for working with us or a small business owner in your life that may benefit from developing their own values to help guide their business 🥰

Take me back to this gorgeous fall wedding day in Nampa, Idaho 🥂

I’m so grateful my path crossed with these two to support their big day! It was truly filled with joy, laughter (including lots of swords and cloaks) and celebration.

One of my favorite moments was as I handed out glow sticks and light-up props to everyone on the dance floor, a little boy came over and asked me if he could have one and I’ve never seen so much instant excitement when I said yes - and gave him three different new light-up toys to play with. Moments later, I spotted the flower girl, all alone, dancing with her light up Kanye glasses above the dance floor 🪩

Some weddings are truly a celebration for loved ones of all ages - and I have a feeling the little ones had just as good of a time as the adults celebrating these two!

I might be biased, but I think one of the best parts of your wedding day is signing your marriage license 📜

I mean, that’s what it’s all about right?!

I recommend you pass your marriage license along to me at rehearsal, and then I’ll help you, your witnesses and your officiant sign after your ceremony.

It’s the perfect “holy s**t we’re actually married!!!” moment 🥂

I always try to ask couples what they’re most excited for when it comes to their wedding day and I’ll never sick of when couples say, “the start of our marriage.”

Yes, spending time with your loved ones and hosting a beautiful celebration is wonderful - AND, isn’t it all about the marriage? 🤍

Just a reminder if you’re just getting started in planning your big day, or if the “we’re getting married this year” stress is creeping in as you get closer to your wedding date.

At the end of the day, you’re going to get married (hopefully to your best friend), and isn’t that all that truly matters? ❤️
