"What's the best way to fluff and stage a train?" - we get asked this A LOT.
Getting a bride's train (and sometimes veil) to lay *just right* before walking down the aisle seems to be a topic that many bridesmaids and moms stress over. But we promise it's not as tricky as you think. We are here to spill our secrets so you can all be pros in no time.
1. Pretend the train is a parachute... we know it sounds ridiculous, but trust us.
2. Lightly hold the edge of the train about 8-10" on either side of the center.
3. Raise your arms up and out and then gently let it fall to the ground naturally.
Bonus tip: a quick flick of the wrist will allow a little air under the train to help fluff it up ✨

We're trying something new today 🎬
The 2023 wedding season is just around the corner and we are getting excited to work with all of our amazing clients this year.

PS. When you stop by our booth, make sure to schedule a consultation appointment *at the show* to take advantage of our show special! You'll receive a complimentary extra when you book a planning, design or a-la-carte service with us this Sunday 🎉
It's here! We are now booking our all-new ✨A-LA-CARTE CONSULTING✨ services. Yes, that's right - you can now access our team's experience, vendor connections and logistical expertise without committing to a planning or coordination package.

As a planner, my job is truly about executing your wedding day dreams and ensuring all your special moments happen seamlessly.
This couple had a very specific vision - they wanted the dining room on the lower level of the barn to look like it had been abandoned years ago and a magical fairy garden had grown through and around the structure. With such a unique and whimsical vision, the entire vendor team collaborated to make their concept come alive.
The North Farm provided the gorgeous backdrop, while Pistil & Pollen perfectly executed the natural and overgrown feel with their delicate florals. The resulting day was an absolute fairytale, artfully captured by Tracy Jade Photography.
December has begun and that means it's officially gift giving season. So this month, I wanted to share some gift ideas for your best girls on your wedding day! There is just something fun about personalized robes or pajamas, They're comfy AND they look great in your photos. Another cute idea can be something to drink out of (water bottle, yeti tumbler, wine glass... so many options!) Add their nicknames or initials for an added personal touch and there is probably a drink or two on the agenda anyway. 🥂We all know staying hydrated is essential - especially on the wedding day - so why not do it in style? And lastly, I love the gift of jewelry to wear with their dresses. It's such a sweet gesture and, hopefully, a treasured addition to their collection they can wear again and again.

Here is a way less glamorous behind the scenes look at a day in the life of an event planner! It's not all flowers and food tastings, so much planning and prep goes into making your special day one you will always remember, right down to every detail of table placement. And although it might seem small, the layout of your space can have a huge impact on how your guests experience your event.
Side note, I actually LOVE this part, there is just something about finding the perfect layout that makes the perfectionist in me so so happy!
I am excited this month to showcase a vendor in my ✨ Vendor Highlight✨ that I have had the absolute pleasure of working with multiple times, @pistilandpollen !
Their floral designs are works of art and I am always just in awe of the quality of every single aspect. They are truly wonderful to work with, and I look forward to any event that will be beautifully adorned with floral designs by these creative lovelies.

It's easy to get lost in the excitement of making your event special for everyone. As lovely as this may feel, try not to lose sight of the fact that pleasing everyone is virtually impossible. So make sure the decisions you make have
*your* interests and dreams in mind. It's ok to to do YOU!

This week I am thrilled to be mentioning @thenorthfarm as my ✨ Vendor Highlight ✨
I recently had the pleasure of helping this wonderful couple celebrate their wedding day at The North Farm. It was a fantastic venue. The location is beautiful and flexible in the most magical way so that it can be truly exactly what you want it to be. It is absolutely a special experience for couples who celebrate there!

The guest list is such an important part of planning your special day. Virtually every decision you make is impacted by on the number of people that will be attending. If you are looking for the best place to start, I highly recommend here!
Tip of the Day Nicole Talen.mp4
Selecting your perfect wedding flowers can be a big decision. In season florals are the perfect choice to ensure fresh, healthy and vibrant blooms on your big day. Plus, as an *added bonus*: they're more affordable than out of season options!
