I've been sitting on this post for WEEKS!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Me: Should I post it? Is it too intrusive? Shouldn't a planner stay in their lane and just plan?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I LOVE finding ways to plan efficiently for your BIG DAY, I would LOVE even more to know that you and your partner are THRIVING in marriage ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With all the intricacies of planning, there's more than enough things to distract everyone from the big picture. Know that our desire over here at will always be to minimize the distractions so that the big picture remains clear:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That on the other side of this AMAZING DAY, lies your BEST years to come with the BEST person to ever do LIFE with!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. No we do not get in your business 😆. Just letting you know that we support you into the future, well beyond this one-time event.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Can you believe we have made it to the last day of November?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trust me, WE have worked HARD this year! And by WE, I'm including YOU too! As we wind down 2021 and goal set for 2022, please keep this one piece of advice in mind: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
:: Don't 👏🏾 Forget 👏🏾To 👏🏾 Rest ::⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We get it! and add in another hashtag that keeps you on your daily grind. The work will ALWAYS be there but you might not be if you don't take time for yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To all my planner friends, entrepreneurs, vendors, and even couples! Be intentional about your rest and recovery before the years end. We want you at your BEST 💁🏾‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Dear Sorry But Not Sorry : Uncomfortable conversations are the worst! 👎🏾 Especially in a setting such as church. If we could avoid them, WE WOULD, but unfortunately in this life, they are inevitable 😔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During your wedding planning process, you will need to PRIORITIZE protecting your upcoming sacred union OVER protecting peoples feeling’s that are rooted in false expectations.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Key DON’Ts:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. DON’T apologize. There is already enough stress in the process, no reason you should add on unwarranted guilt.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. DON’T lie. Maintain your character.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. DON’T succumb to societal pressure. If you have been reading that bible, then remember Matt 5:37.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. DON’T discuss your special day in common areas. Remember your wedding is NOT a church sponsored event, it is a private event!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Key DOs:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. DO keep the conversation brief so you avoid explaining yourself and get caught in a trap⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. DO acknowledge their best wishes for you⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. DO remain a united front with your significant other⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Additionally, If budget constraints:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. DO remind them that this is just the beginning! There will be other opportunities to support your family (baby showers, birthdays, graduations, etc.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. DO invite them to other budget friendly events IF you have a weekend full of wedding festivities (i.e. traditional cultural weddings, bridal showers, dinners, brunch, Zoom get-togethers).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If shallow relationship: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If they care more about coming to an event than actually improving the relationship, it’s the very reason they weren’t invited in the first place!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Who says planners can’t work together?!
I have to brag a little about THE Monique Wisdom! She is motivated, caring, and LOVES what she does! The opportunity to work together on was truly a blessing. The bride labeled us “The Dream Team.” Not only did we plan an amazing event but we will forever continue to encourage each other in life and in this industry!
Please check her out at and tell her sent you 👋🏾

About a week ago and still on the matter!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During our consultation, I asked the bride “what would you consider to be top priority during this planning process and the wedding?” Her response: “That the love of God would be felt throughout (paraphrasing).” We love that this couple kept their faith at the forefront of all weekend festivities.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The couple, posed for their Roce ceremony, celebrate a rich cultural Indian tradition from the brides heritage, that included prayer, food, and love.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
