Are you struggling to stay within budget for decor, floral, or rentals??? 💐 🪑 🤯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some items that are heavily photographed and where the larger portion of the above should go!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-The couple: This sounds obvious but I’m talking about where you will be throughout the day and what your holding/ what’s on you! So don’t skimp on the getting ready details! 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Ceremony: Dress it up and over do it but make sure you can reuse it! Most ceremonies only last about 30 minutes these days so make sure you can reuse items for behind the head table or a photo op for guests!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Head table: Once again this is where a couple of high ticket items happen. Dinner, Toasts, etc…So add chargers or colored napkins to just this table!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-RSVP or family tables: these typically tend to be towards the front so make them more of a statement while keeping the rest of the tables more simple. Especially if you have a high guest count!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Photobooth: If creating a selfie station make sure to put a little more into it! This will be a frequent stop for guests and you with guests. Try a neon sign or a fun floral install with a cutie couch.

It’s never just about “me”—it’s always about “we.” No “I,” only “us.”Here’s 3 BIG reasons why having a full-service team is a game changer!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ve got each other’s backs, and that means our clients are always covered. If someone’s out sick or life throws a curveball, we step in, no problem. That safety net? It’s priceless.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Boundaries, baby! Thanks to the team, I get to actually balance work and home life without losing my sanity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The social side: Having people around who truly get it means I never have to go it alone. There’s always someone to talk it out with!

4. Talk to your planner and photographer before selecting a ceremony time!
5. Include sundown time and set your sunset photo time 45 minutes prior.

Ok ok your struggling with choosing your wedding colors and are so overwhelmed by all the choices! Don’t worry it’s ok to love all the things but all the things might not be for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Start by acknowledging that something is just “pretty” rather then it “feels” like you! You want to go with what feels right to you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Consider your favorite colors. Find inspiration around your home, desk, phone case! Just because it might be a bright vibrant color shouldn’t scare you into not using it for the day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Narrow down your Pinterest boards folks! Get rid of the “someday” labeled board and start breaking it down by section. This will help w**d out the “just pretty” and the “feels” like you inspo!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Wait until you purchase your dress. Sometimes your dress can set the entire vibe or color scheme for the day. (You won’t always buy what you thought you wanted!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Try to keep it to 3-5 colors. If you vary slightly on the shade that’s fine as the process goes on!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6. Recruit your wedding planner! This is what hiring a full service planner is for! We take your ideas and design and create a day that feels like you!!!

Something I get asked a lot about wedding ceremonies…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do we have to do this or that or can we just skip it all and get married?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Heck yes you can! Remember your ceremony is about YOU as a couple. If you want to write your own personal vows go for it. If you want to make out if front of all your closest friends and family then hell yes! If you want to walk your best boy down the aisle with you we will gladly bring treats!🐕 Remember whatever you decide to do we are here to support you! We can start from scratch or start with the basics and add in a little bit of you! ☝🏻

The difference between a Venue Coordinator and a WEDDING PLANNER 👇👇👇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Planning your dream wedding involves countless decisions, big and small. But when it comes to ensuring every aspect of your special day is flawless, the right choice makes all the difference! 🌟 Let’s talk about the crucial distinction between a venue coordinator and a wedding planner 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your venue coordinator is there to represent the venue’s interests on your big day. They ensure everything related to the venue runs smoothly, from setup to catering. While they’re invaluable for venue-specific logistics, they may not delve into every intricate detail of your wedding vision 💭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wedding planners are the masterminds behind every EVERY DETAIL. Want to make sure your mom + aunt don’t need to lift a finger!? You’ve got it. Your dream tablescape, flower arrangement, every flicker of candlelight meticulously planned to reflect your unique style and love story. A hair is out of place? Ya we’ve got that too 😘

Sharing a sweet review!
🪩🫶🏼🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“If you have the means, hire a wedding planner! Better yet, hire Keasha and her team! We hired Keasha for full planning from the beginning, even before picking our venue. One of the best decisions and investments we made! Keasha guided and assisted every step of the way (almost a year and a half!), from coordinating and communicating with vendors to providing and creating design ideas and recommendations. She led us to each vendor based on our budget and vision and I firmly believe our wedding day would not have been the perfection it was without each and every one of them. It takes a village, and we have her to thank for ours! Not to mention her creative design talent is truly unmatched!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We knew early on in the planning process that Keasha would be unable to physically be there on our wedding day, but Monica and Jodie were fully aware of all details, they were just as organized, professional, and productive, and did not skip a beat! So very thankful for both of them too, as we and our families were able to enjoy our beautiful day to the fullest, stress and duty free! Our wedding day was truly everything we hoped for and more, and we feel incredibly grateful and fortunate to have had Keasha as our planner!”

What items will we set up the day of your wedding?

The list varies per couple but here is a typical decor set up list!

✨ Guestbook items
✨Cake table items
✨Tabletop items: linens, chargers, napkins, flatware, glasses, table numbers, place cards, etc
✨Signage (including hanging neon signs 😉)
✨Wedding favors
✨Candles
✨ Other Miscellaneous decor

Items we will NOT set up:
🚫Tables and chairs:
Unfortunately fall under this category. While we are strong and are not afraid to get our hands dirty this doesn’t fall under our job description. The venue will be responsible or arrangements will be made with rental companies prior!
🚫Large backdrops:
Once again while we aren’t afraid to get our hands dirty this takes several hands to lift and place!
🚫Ceiling installs:
This one should be a given ha ha but we don’t own a scissor lift and we leave it to the pros!

Don’t worry if you have questions or see something missing! We have a detailed list that we go over prior to the big day! We will know down to the napkin fold what goes on each table.

I think getting photos taken of yourself is VERY OVERLOOKED. I love to do a yearly branding shoot to showcase our team for the upcoming year and snag updated headshots.

It’s fun to see how everyone changes and to see how we grow as a business and as people 😉

UH OH! You don’t get access to your venue early enough for hair and makeup! Now what? 👇 👇 👇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Get a suite or banquet room with your hotel accommodations (make sure it has plenty of natural light and room to spread out!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Get ready at the salon or studio! This one is becoming more popular by the minute. Many HMUA offer studio or salon rentals so you can have the place to yourselves and have all the necessities! 👍🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Get a cute airbnb close to the venue. You and your gang can stay the night before and wake up ready to go! 😊

FAQ: What do we do with guests that don’t RSVP? 💌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Give them a little nudge 😉 Sometimes people get busy and life happens! A quick call or text can save a lot of numbers anxiety.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. If people won’t give you a straight answer it’s better to count them as a “yes”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Sometimes last minute a guest will try and add a plus one or make a meal change.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Simply say in the nicest way possible we have already given final items to our vendors we can no longer accommodate. Have more RSVP questions??? Send us your questions! 👍

First Look or No First Look? This can be such a difficult decision! Here are some pros for both to help you decide. 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
FIRST LOOK:
- It can help get those pre wedding jitters out of the way
-You can get all photos taken care of before the ceremony
-It allows you to have a later ceremony in the spring and summer months
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
NO FIRST LOOK:
-The element of surprise walking down the aisle for not only your partner but your guests as well
-Earlier ceremony time if needed
-More time relaxing and getting ready with your parties These are just a few tips! There are a lot more pros and cons to weight when making this decision. Drop your questions below! 👇 👇 👇

BENEFITS of HIRING a FULL SERVICE WEDDING PLANNER! 👇🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Help you set a realistic budget and talk through what your big must haves are!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Be realistic about the time of year you want to get married based off of your must haves! It’s no secret that couples love specific times of year!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. We help you find your dream vendors! Instead of you scrolling through social media or google we can recommend the best or do the research for you. We also present vendors that are available so you aren’t let down!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. We help you stay on track with out getting overwhelmed! There’s a reason we invest in portal systems to make the process seem less so you and us can stay organized. Checklists, budget tracker, design studio, etc!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Take your vision you have in your head and make it come to life! Sometimes it’s hard to explain what you want so having options A, B, or C to choose from can make it a lot easier.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6. Attend vendor meetings and answer any questions!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7. Build a timeline that is so detailed we even include when to go to the bathroom. 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
8. Last but not least execute all of our hard work on the wedding day so you can sit back and have a blast with your people!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And we’re going to have a ton of FUN celebrating YOU💛💛💛
