Gardenia Weddings offers both full and partial wedding planning services as well as day-of coordination. At Gardenia Weddings, we are passionate about love in every form it comes in. This is why we proudly service LGBTQ+ couples and only work with indiscriminate vendors. Making sure our couples feel catered to is our number one goal. This means not assuming anything, even for our non-LGBTQ+ couple

s! We don't make assumptions about your pronouns, family dynamic, wedding plan, nothing! We start from scratch gathering all this information from you and tailoring your experience accordingly. We want to make sure your wedding is exactly what you want, not what your parents want, not what's trending on Pinterest, nothing but perfectly YOU. There are no rules when it comes to love and weddings. Celebrate however you want, with whomever you want, and we will ensure everything goes exactly as you envisioned with all the details and logistics covered. We even cater your service package perfectly to you! Don't get forced into a bundled package, pick exactly which services you do and don't want so it perfectly suits you! During the planning process, we become more than just your planner or coordinator, we become a friend you can trust with one of the most important days of your life!

Moody, whimsical, eclectic, sensual...all of the things! At the Confetti Collective design showcase event hosted by , we wanted to show a unique tablescape that delighted every sense. Partnering with the incredibly talented from , the vision came to life in a way beyond our imagination.

We value our vendor partners so much and this collaboration with is a true testament of why we tell couples it is so important to surround yourself with a wedding team that you align with and trust. Your planner, your florist, and every vendor in between. Choose your vendors based on their alignment with the design you want to create and the experience you want your guests to have. A collaboration like that always results in absolute magic ✨

This went down as our first ever cake smash and ohmygoodness it was so fun to see 🎂

Don’t worry, we made sure they both agreed to it beforehand and we had damp towels at the ready for clean up! We even recommended the bride use the extra fabric from her dress to create a shawl to avoid any gown stains (and it looked so good!)

Want to know the secret to effortlessly enjoying your wedding day, champagne in hand, worry-free? Having a planning team you trust!

Everything we do throughout our entire planning process is to ensure that our couples are able to glide through the wedding day, without stress, soaking in every moment. We don't want you worrying about who's going to pack everything up at the end of the night, what time toasts are supposed to start, or if the cake delivery is running late.

There's a reason our team is with you from the very beginning and why we have over 15 meetings together before the wedding day. It's so that with each meeting, each questionnaire, each walkthrough, we get more and more in your head and by the wedding day, we know exactly what's most important to you and how you would want every situation handled.

Are there any wedding crashers we should be on the lookout for? What do you want us to do if someone shows up in a white dress? Who is absolutely not allowed to grab the mic for a toast? These are just a few of our "what if" scenarios that we go over with you to ensure no one has to ask you any questions on the wedding day and there is nothing that can spoil your mood or stress you out.

Just enjoy floating through your wedding day, feet on the dancefloor, and champagne in hand 🥂 Click the link in our bio for a free consultation so we can do the same for you!

Danielle and Andrew’s wedding was an absolute joy to plan. They had such fun ideas and trusted our team to ensure a beautiful day, giving us all the direction and information we needed. But apparently they forgot to tell us they actually model on the side?? 😍

Cake 🍰 vs Dessert Bar 🧁
This is a debate our couples have often. When it comes down to making the decision, consider the below options

1️⃣ TIERED CAKE
This is for the cake lovers. If you absolute love cake or have a really beautiful cake design that you’re wanting, a tiered cake is the way to go. Having only a tiered cake though can get pricey if you have over 100 guests since wedding cakes can be $10+ per guest. To reduce costs, you can potentially ask your baker if they can do a smaller tiered cake that only feeds maybe 60 guests and then do sheet cake or mini desserts for the rest of the guests.
2️⃣DESSERT BAR
Mini desserts are perfect for couples who aren’t huge cake lovers or just want to offer their guests some variety. Dessert bars are really fun for guests because you can have tons of options that appeal to people with different tastes ranging from sweet to tart to chocolate to fruit and more. You can also offer options for different dietary restrictions like gluten free and dairy free which is harder to do in a tiered cake. Each mini dessert usually ranges from $4-$6 so depending on your guest count it can definitely be a more cost effective option rather than a tiered cake.
3️⃣CUTTING CAKE
A cutting cake is a small 1-2 tier cake, usually about 8-10 inches in diameter. The purpose of this cake is really just so that you can still have a nice cake for the cake cutting moment and photos if you’re opting out of the traditional tiered cake. You can do the cutting cake on its own or pair it with a dessert bar. Typically a cutting cake will cost around $150-$200 so definitely a huge difference from a traditional tiered cake, but keep in mind it is not meant to be a show stopping cake. For this size and cost, the design is going to be pretty simple and your flavor options may be limited.
