This beautiful couple’s wedding will kick off my wedding season in a few short weeks and I couldn’t be more excited! This one is extra special because this gorgeous bride is my little sister’s childhood best friend, so I basically claim her as a another lil sis 🥰 Spencer is pretty cool too I guess 😉 The memories are endless, so watching her walk down the aisle will be the sweetest. Can’t wait for your big day KO! 🤍

That “it’s almost Friday” feeling 🙌🏻

Reminiscent of Lexie and Alex’s gorgeous wedding day ✨ I love a bride who is extra creative and intentional with small details. Lexie put so much thought and sentiment into every decision, down to the tie that her groom wore. How precious is this - Lexie prayed over this very tie for her future husband as a young girl, and then gifted it to Alex the morning before she married the very man she had been praying for 🤍 (resulting in a blubbering wedding coordinator in the corner of course 🥲)

One thing is for sure - I make it my personal mission to execute these special moments without a single flaw, because those moments are what it’s all about 🤍

Excited to spend my weekend touring venues with an August & Ivory bride 🤍

There are so many gorgeous venues in our area with their own character and charm, but it can be definitely be difficult to narrow down THE one. Can you make it work in your budget? Is there an aesthetically pleasing inclement weather option? For goodness sakes, where will the photo backdrop go? Those questions are just tip of the iceberg. Helping pair my brides and their vision with the right space is a favorite of mine. The rush of ideas and brainstorming that happens when finding your wedding venue is just the best ✨

If you know me, you know weddings have always been a love of mine. As a little girl I never missed an opportunity to go to them, and I would sit in complete awe, soaking in every ounce of the magic taking place. And that’s what it was for me - magic. You know the little girl at the beginning of the movie, 27 Dresses, gawking at the bride and all of the beautiful details of the day? That was me (still is).

Fast forward to my own wedding two years ago. I took on all the planning, coordination and decor myself (with the help of my sister and mom). Not because I didn’t trust anyone else with it (well, maybe a little), but because I wanted my heart to be seen on that day. The stress was so menial compared to the pure joy the process gave me. I missed and craved that joy so much following my wedding that I began offering up my help to other family and friends getting married that would have me.

In the past few years I have gained so much experience in all steps of the process start to finish, whether that be within a consulting space, planning and budgeting, corresponding and working with vendors, all the way up to ex*****on on the day of. I am very accustomed to tight turnaround times, high-pressure situations, utilizing my eagle eye for detail, and wearing multiple hats. I have also established relationships with a series of vendor contacts, including but not limited to:

After some much appreciated push from my husband and family, in addition to the inspiration of my father’s business, KayHay Craftsman, I’ve decided to follow suit and take the leap. With that being said, I would like to introduce my brand new venture, August & Ivory by Kayla Clifton Turner! August & Ivory will be providing wedding planning, decor and day-of coordination services. Hiring August & Ivory would mean that you have a valuable resource in your back pocket. We will serve as your search engine, your navigation, and your personal assistant though this exciting time, alleviating you of all your stressors. Depending on what you need, we are available to take on all vendor correspondence / coordination, all things decor (our favorite), all the way up to the day of, wrangling your wedding party and ensuring you walk down that aisle at the perfect time. The magic in those special moments is so understood by us, and we and will make sure that you soak up every second. ✨

Our goal is to serve both our home community of Tazewell County, but also surrounding counties that don’t have quick access to similar services without traveling. We are right in your backyard and so incredibly excited to be that resource for you.

Weddings aren’t all that we can do either. We are available to come to you and help with your home and business decor, in addition to other event planning, decor and coordination services. Birthdays, showers, anniversaries - you name it.

We truly enjoy every step of the process, so know that we will have a ball. Events and decor are meant to enjoy, not to stress over. Let us give you that! An extra bonus - MS Excel is a good, good friend of mine, so there’s no doubt we will keep you organized 😉

We are willing to work together on pricing dependent on what you need from us - our primary goal is to build a portfolio right now. I’ll also travel a reasonable distance. Message me if interested, share this post, share my page on both Facebook and Instagram, and tell your friends!

Looking forward to fulfilling my own dream by giving you your’s. 🤍
