When you think you’ll be the center of attention at your wedding but then your fur baby steps in for the ceremony.. 🥹😋🥰🐶❤️

Nelli was the belle of the ball at the Spicer wedding! 10/10 would take her and her momma with me to future events. 🤓💓

If you haven’t already decided on your wedding cocktail, might I recommend Sterling Spirits featured drink at Love & Pastel Haze- strawberry-glitter cotton candy provided by Sugah Cotton Candy adorning the top of a delicious champagne. This was both fun to drink and beautiful to serve! Just pick your favorite flavors and colors then boom- specialty drinks are served. 😎😉

I had 10 reviews on Facebook that can no longer be seen (for whatever privacy reason they came up with) so even better, here’s an album all about the kind things folks have had to say about my services. 💖

Do us both the favor… check out my website and read about those travel fees before you try asking me to drive 4 hours one way on 2 different days for just $300 total. I always leave several referrals though so I’m the one who loses out here. 😭

From creating the day-of timeline to complete ex*****on, we will have a hand on the entire wedding starting at least 1-2 months in advance to ensure no detail goes unnoticed. Don’t be dismayed, we’ve pulled through for couples within a matter of one week because they found us so late in their planning journey.

Not setting up the most exquisite background for the Turner wedding tomorrow. 😍🤩

This photo is special because it captures a moment where the Groom feels himself becoming weepy. In an effort to prevent the tears from rolling, he looks over and nudges me chuckling over the fact that he didn’t even do this the first time they married. My specialty is delivering an emotional and heartfelt ceremony sprinkled with laughter, all sure to touch your heart in a personal way. Your wedding day is all about embracing the “feels” with the ones you cherish most. It would be an honor to help you make these lasting memories. Get in touch with me today about your special day and we’ll get you on the books. 💖

One of my favorite pieces from Love & Pastel Haze was this handmade sign from I wrote each attendee a personal thank you note trying to express the appreciation I felt for them. We LOVE getting to see familiar faces time and time again! Even better when we get to spend the day hanging out doing the wedding work we already enjoy. 🫶🏻 I hope you’ll check each of these vendors out for your special day or next event! 📸: .george.music Whispering Pines Flower Shop, Simply Southern Catering and Cafe , Memory Lane Party Planning + Rentals

Love & Pastel Haze ended up being the most exquisite day. I can’t say how thankful Mala Bernard Photography LLC and I are for the outpouring of love you’ve all expressed. We had a vision in mind to bring an industry full of strangers into a close knit community at the very beginning and the whole time we worked on this event we kept the idea close at hand, feeling the pressure of guiding everyone in the right direction. I only teared up a minimum of 3 times yesterday. 😂 The overwhelming sensation of “this is what we are all living for” was profound. Watching everyone work together so efficiently and thoughtfully, I mean. 🤌🏻 It was a real dream team type of crew. Our intimate group of photographers were awe-inspiring as they clicked away at everything we laid out for them to capture. I know Will and Kara had to feel like celebrities with the paparazzi clicks in the background of their afternoon. If I could live in the light and love of yesterday forever, I think it’d be Heaven. 🫶🏻 Thanks a million times for everyone who saw the vision we had and believed in it AND THEN participated in it. We truly could not have done yesterday without the hard work of each of you. Love, Chelsie 💖

There is no greater honor than to have been able to serve these two not only as officiant but also as friend. The Chateau of Longview Wedding & Event Center was the most beautiful backdrop for them and the wedding party despite the dreary weather all weekend long. We always say rain on a wedding day is a good thing as legends claim it binds the marital knot that much tighter together. With all of the love and support encircling Tristan and Alli, I know they have all they need to continue living their best lives together.
Witnessing their love up close had everyone in tears at some point in the weekend. On their welcome table was one of the sweetest and most heartfelt scrapbooks I’ve ever had the pleasure of viewing. Inside were notes Alli had written to or saved from Tristan dating all the way back to when they first started their relationship. The thought and effort behind making such an elegant display of their love was beyond unique and I could only think how lucky Tristan is to have a gem like Alli. Their love runs deep and it is evident all around them.
Thank you for choosing me to help you reach this next milestone in life together. Cheers to your forever and always, Mr. and Mrs. Williams!!!💖

We had such a great time officiating for Austin and Megan this weekend alongside some of our vendor friends!

HolyToledo, Batman!! Melodie Pennington did such a stellar job creating these custom planning essentials and gifts for us! She can create any wooden sign or laser engrave as well and those works will be showcased at our Love & Pastel Haze Styled Wedding Photoshoot next month. 🥰 I’m so excited to give out these keychains as client gifts and to pass out at events!

My favorite part about this particular vendor relationship is she is a past bride of PPW’s. What a beautiful connection we’ve been able to cultivate over time. 💜 Thank you for your continued support, Mel, and I can’t wait to watch you soar in this endeavor!!!

Now that was a sharp dressed group of gentlemen! 👏🏻

12/9/23 at 4 pm on the dot, the Montalvo ceremony began. All week the entire vendor crew watched and waited in anticipation wondering what the weather would turn out to be like for Austin and Brittany’s wedding day. Lo and behold, glorious sunshine appeared with the sweetest breeze making Toupon Lodge Venue an ideal location to celebrate nuptials.
Huge shoutout to each and every vendor who worked seamlessly together making this couple’s day that much better!! ⬇️

Lastly, please check out Brittney Juneau Photography to see what beauty she caught on camera and has already shared! 😍

Even with the rain that came in later that night, the multitude of loved ones present and actively celebrating made their day better than anyone could’ve hoped for. The best part is that Brittany confided in us at the end of the evening about how she’s read there is always that one thing which goes wrong and you just flow with it; she said for her, everything went perfectly. She had 100% trust in everyone which made her day completely stress free. If that isn’t the best compliment to our whole team, I don’t know what is. Thanks to everyone for their part in making that a reality for our couple!!

Congratulations over and over to the lovely Mr. and Mrs. Montalvo. 💓

Infringement laws; they are real, y’all. Don’t shoot the messengers. 👀🕊️

PHOTOGRAPHERS‼️

Friendly reminder that doing Grinch photo sessions FOR A PROFIT is federal trademark infringement, and Dr. Seuss Int. literally hires out a team this time of year to reverse image search and sue photogs for profit.
So unless you got $120000 for a license, that’s not a lawsuit you will win!

This isn’t me trying to be a buzzkill. This is me just trying to protect newer photogs that aren’t aware of the situation.

Borrowed from another post. I get asked every year, and I just want to make it clear on why you will not see me doing these sessions. EVER.

Based out of Sabine Parish, but always traveling where the love is. 💜

The next person to purchase a planning package from us will include a handmade gift from yours truly in your contract. I don’t always have the availability to do something like this, but it never fails to inspire and strike a creative nerve. Our Christmas gift to one lucky couple, if you will. 🎄 We’d love to welcome you into the PPW family!

We are wishing you all a happy turkey day and as always, HAPPY WEDDING PLANNING! 💟

Yesterday was a Sunday-funday! Beautiful and intimate was the theme for the Graces on their family land. All the way from Baton Rouge to small-town Natchitoches just for some unique nuptials. 💟 We are forever thankful for the opportunity to join hearts together in both meaningful and memorable ways. It’s always “your wedding, your way.”

Congratulations to the lovely Grace family and may you always find joy in each other’s presence!! 💜

Chris (AKA Jack) and Amber tied the knot with all of their closest family and friends present at Wildwood Resort-Weddings on 10/28/23. It was perfect weather and delicious food thanks to all of the family hands which prepared SO MUCH tasty stuff. A salute to BubbaQue's BBQ - Leesville for delivering some quality grub which was feasted on long after the wedding was over. Stunning floral pieces were from The Flower Girl and the tasty cake was all from the hands of Susan's Cakes & More.

Helping your friends get married is a world of fun! 🍂🌻🍁 Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. McAvey!

A peek inside my “wedding day” 8 years ago! Backyard wedding vibes paired with a little class thanks to the getups and fresh flowers. Whispering Pines Flower Shop been coming through for some time now! 🙌🏻 We sure have come a long way.
No matter what your special day looks like, what does matter is the joy you share together and the path you are on as a couple. Keep your eyes on one another and everything else melts away. 💕

What a blessing it is to be able to officiate for family! This wedding was full of belly-aching laughter, primo first looks, and loads of love. Two families truly became one on that special day. Congratulations again to my sweet cousins! Keep each other at the centerfold of your lives and live according to your own beliefs. Everything will continue to fall into place. I love y’all!

One year? Already? I genuinely can’t think of a better way to see a year come to a close than to be able to wish a happy anniversary to any lucky couple. Most especially this sweet pair. I’ll never forget that one phone call where Corey accidentally said “I love you” at the very end. 😂 We all died. Us of laughter and him probably of embarrassment but my golly it made for fun memories. Witnessing Corey cry in reaction to seeing his beautiful Chandler is a moment not many are privy to. He was in complete awe of her and I can only imagine the wondrous things he thought as he admired the spectacle that was his bride. It was an honor and privilege to work with such a romantic couple. I hope you both are still living out your best lives as the best of best friends!!! 💜
