How sweet are these two?! Absolutely LOVED working with Dominic and Armanda to make their spring wedding magical. ✨ They incorporated personal touches, like LEGO decor in cocktail hour, Italian cookies featuring a LEGO Vespa dessert display, and a live New Orleans-style band to recreate their first date. We had too much fun, we barely took photos. Can’t wait for the sneak peeks!

Shout out to great vendors for making it possible!

With heavy hearts but immense gratitude, I share the news that Sunflower Wedding Coordination will be closing its doors in November 2024 due to financial constraints.

As our future 2024 couples know, all weddings planned for this year will proceed as scheduled without any changes or disruptions. 🎉 I am dedicated to ensuring that each celebration is as special and seamless as envisioned, upholding the commitment to excellence until the very end.

I want to express my deepest appreciation for the unwavering support and trust you've placed in Sunflower Weddings throughout these three years. It has been an honor and a privilege to be part of so many couple's most cherished moments. While this chapter may be coming to a close, the memories we've created together will forever bloom in our hearts. 🌻

Now, let's make 2024 a grand finale to remember!

With love and gratitude,
Stephanie

Samantha was an actual angel at her wedding ✨ Over the moon in awe at these sneak peeks from the absolutely magnificent Brad Nguyen Photography.

What an honor to kick off wedding season for 2024 with a stunning wedding at Big Cork Vineyards celebrating Samantha and Greg. Their warm reds and bright candles filled the air with so much warmth on a chilly early spring day.

It’s always extra special when we get to feature the Jewish wedding of one of our beloved Brides Club members – especially when it’s as gorgeous as Faith and Jordan’s! We so loved having Faith in the group and following along her wedding planning journey, and we’re touched to hear her say ...

It’s been a moment since I introduced myself, so hey friends 👋 I’m Stephanie, the owner and founder of Sunflower Wedding Coordination… aka your wedding day bff and hype girl. Other duties assigned include tracking rain to the minute, obsessing over every detail in timelines (they’re wedding manuals at this point), giving sparkler safety briefings (IYKYK), carrying around my emotional support Stanley, hoping for a slice of that Sage Cakery, boppin in the corner with your fellow vendors when the dance floor is 🔥, but most of all, making sure you have the best day of your life. Much love 💛🌻

Shout out to 📸 Lindsay Mack Photography, a wedding pro who I swear we’re soul sisters or something 🥰

A little rain couldn’t stop the magic of Sarah and Matt’s special day! Once they said “I do,” the sun started shining brightly and this super sweet couple twirled and laughed together in pure bliss. What a special wedding, featuring fall colors, pumpkin and apple treats and drinks, and so many personal touches - like this sip and solve puzzle! Congratulations to Sarah and Matt, you both were such a joy to work with! 🥰

Mazel Tov to Jordan & Faith! ❤️ It was such a honor celebrating the love of this couple, from the beautiful Ketubah signing, to the personal touch of loved ones singing as the bride walked down the aisle, to a live band opening the dance floor with the Horah. Did we mention the multiple dessert stations and table side cheesecake bar? The sweetest!

Can you imagine planning a wedding from overseas? Nicole and Robert did just that! This beautiful couple traveled from the Netherlands to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia to say “I do”. It was a beautiful union and meeting of both sides of the family, filled with love that could be felt from here to Europe and beyond. Congratulations, Nicole and Robert! 🫶

We are absolutely in love with Ariel and Julia’s garden wedding and wish we could relive the day over and over again! Guests came dressed in radiant pops of color, which truly matched the energy of the day.
