Let’s talk Bridal Bouquet’s 💐
Deciding whether to splurge on a bridal bouquet depends on your priorities and budget. Your bouquet is a focal point so investing in a high-quality arrangement can enhance the overall look and feel of your day.

Preserving the bouquet can be a meaningful way to keep a tangible memory. However, it’s important to balance your spending with other wedding expenses and ensure that preserving the bouquet fits within your budget.

Things to consider when choosing what type of bouquet will fits you like a glove:

💫 Seasonality: Select flowers that are in season for better availability and potentially lower costs.

💫 Color Scheme: Ensure the bouquet complements your wedding colors and overall theme.

💫Dress Style: Choose a bouquet size and shape that suits your wedding dress and silhouette.

💫 Personal Preferences: Incorporate flowers that have personal significance or hold special meaning for you.

Meet The Sommers 🤍 When reached out to me about planning Dena and Kent’s 20-year vow renewal, saying YES was the easiest decision I’ve made. This incredible non-profit organization, grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal illnesses or a life changing event, and I was honored to contribute to such meaningful cause. I’ve been truly amazed by the outpouring of generosity from all the vendors who eagerly donated their time and services. Their commitment and compassion have made it possible for Dena and Kent to create everlasting memories. I couldn’t have done it without their unwavering support, and I can’t wait to see it all come together. Cheers to 20 years of love and resilience!

Back from a social media break and feeling refreshed! While I’ve been away, I’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, prepping for all my upcoming weddings. It’s going to be an amazing season 🥰

Ready to make some magic happen for Aidan and Yennifer. 5 more days until the youngest couple I’ve worked with since I began my Wedding Planner journey say “I DO”. Wishing them both the best of luck as they begin this new chapter in their lives 🇺🇸🇸🇻

Thank you for choosing me as your Wedding Coordinator and for recognizing you needed one early on in the process 😌

Capturing wedding detail shots is essential as they encapsulate the essence of your special day. Also known as “flatlays” these photos immortalize the small but significant elements that contribute to the overall beauty and emotion of the event, allowing you to relive every moment for years to come.

I recommend having your photographer start with detail shots, before any other photos are taken. have these essentials ready for your photographer when he/she arrives to save time:

✨Wedding gown
✨Bridal shoes
✨Wedding rings (both engagement and wedding bands)
✨Bouquet 💐
✨Jewelry (necklace, earrings, bracelet, etc.)
✨Veil or hair accessories
✨Perfume bottle
✨Invitation suite (invitation, save-the-date, etc.)
✨Bridal accessories (clutch, belt, hairpiece, etc.)
✨Special heirlooms or sentimental items

I’m a huge fan of the “The Big Group Photo” and if you can make it happen on your wedding day, I would add it to your Photographer’s shot list.

Planning ahead with your photographer and coordinator will ensure the timing is right. I suggest doing it directly after your ceremony while you still have your guests undivided attention.

Another option is directly after cake cutting, right before the dance floor opens. This works well because all eyes are already on you. Your photographer and coordinator can guide the guests to obtain the ultimate shot. You’ll be glad you did!

One of my favorite parts of my job as a Wedding Coordinator is getting to know each couples unique love story ❤️ I want to know all the things 😁How did you meet? Who made the first move? How long did you know she/he was the one? How did he propose? Making this connection with my clients helps me get a better understand of their wedding day vision.
