The Durham Bride

02/25/2021

We've been getting a ton of positive feedback on our new services over here at The Durham Bride, and we could not be more excited! For the third and final roll-out announcement, we'd like to introduce you to *drum roll please*: Full-Day Workshops! That's right! Full day, entirely virtual workshops where you get to talk one-on-one with us about your wedding goals, planning processes, budget, and more. This is perfect for anyone who just got engaged and believes they can manage the planning process on their own, but needs help getting the pieces together and vetted by a pro. We can help you get to where you need to be with your wedding planning without having to be present at your wedding. Check out our investment page for more details! http://www.thedurhambride.com/investment Photo credit: Annie Timmons

We are SO excited to announce brand new services for 2021! Designed for couples who need planning help, but don't necessarily need full-day service or a planner physically present at their wedding, we're rolling out three new virtual services to help! First up: our 45 Minute Ask Anything Consult! Perfect for those that are struggling with just one aspect of their big day, we'll talk to you about what you have planned already and where you need to be, and then we'll help get you there!

I had a dream one night recently that I was planning a wedding and the client told me they had 40 people in their wedding party! YIKES. Although, this wedding shown here had about 20 people and I can honestly say they were the best behaved bridal party I've ever directed, so who knows, maybe 40 is the new 20?

It's been A WEEK, amiright?! This post is a post. I'm wishing I could be all throw your hands in the air/Jesus take the wheel but I can't. It's not in my nature anyways. I'm a worrier, a worst caser. I've also been told I'm super cool under fire. Makes for a good combo for my job on the worse of days.
So toss your Q in the comments below about your wedding vs COVID-19 and I'll share what I know and dig up credible info for what I don't. This is for couples and vendors (hey, friend, I see you also trying to hide sweaty underarms 👋). Ask me anything!

Bloomin' Rose began as a blog documenting the experience of Durham native and floral designer, Gillian Rose Galdy, growing flowers from seed to bloom on Sol Patch Farm, an urban garden in Durham, NC. Her interest in growing organic flowers led to her dedication to sourcing local and ethically grown blooms from the Piedmont area.
