We're in peak wedding season over here and have had quite the year. On top of it being our busiest season ever... we eloped in the desert! While we absolutely love helping our couples plan the events of their dreams, for us, a sweet desert elopement was just what we needed.

Happy September, we hope your end of summer vibes have been fun. We haven’t had time to update our social media in a while, its been a busy season and an absolute delight to work with so many incredible couples! This setup shot is from a wedding we did at loved the venue and the couple was an absolute joy to work with 🔥💯🌈

Our co-founder Sunni was recently interviewed by EquallyWed alongside 8 other trans and non-binary wedding pro’s!

These nine trans and nonbinary wedding professionals are already doing safe, inclusive and beautiful work for transgender couples, as well as for the entire LGBTQ+ community.

Modern Aisles celebrated one year this month! We aren’t the first to say: thank goodness 2020 is over! But we also know this year had many bright spots: former couples welcoming new babies, current couples saying “love isn’t cancelled” and adapting their plans, and new couples getting engaged, that we can’t wait to work with in the coming years. We hope the new year brings you health, creativity, love, and opportunities to celebrate in community. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re also honored to share that we’ve been selected as a 2021 winner of The Knot Best of Weddings and Wedding Wire Couple’s Choice Awards! To receive this award in our first year of business is a testament to how hungry our communities are for joyful, authentic celebration that honors their true selves. We’re dedicated to reimagining the wedding industry to be more inclusive, so that everyone gets to celebrate authentically! We can’t wait to keep the momentum up this year!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We know now more than ever that celebration supports resilience and is a vital part of our collective experience. Modern Aisles will be expanding our services in February and launching our new website and fly rebrand with the same great name! We hope to see you in 2021! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Love this farmers market bouquet roundup for a sweet little elopement in the desert!

It's Transgender Day of Remembrance and Modern Aisles would like to share some ways that you can show up in support of the trans and gender non-conforming community throughout the year.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day from our co-founder Sunni, a proud member of the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma! Indigenous rights are human rights ❤️✊🏽

What a gorgeous couple! We LOVE the backdrop to this ceremony!

It’s been a minute since we’ve posted. Life has been different for us all these past months. But today, we celebrate a mark in history. Because today the Supreme Court ruled that companies could NOT unfairly fire or otherwise discriminate against LGBTQ+ people in the workplace!!! During Pride Month and on the heels of the trump administration removing healthcare protections for the Trans community, this was a much needed win, some good news in the midst of it all. We’re sending out a lot of love to our LGBTQ+ community today and everyday. Happy Pride Month ❤️🌈 - and

As a Native and q***r owned business, we have and will always stand with our Black communities - especially our Indigenous, Q***r and Trans Black communities. Our co-founders have been mobilizing on the ground and through their networks all week. We wanted to share *40 ways you can take action right now*. Our DMs are open if you are looking for perspective or accountability. You can also follow co-founders or for more resources being shared! @ Seattle, Washington

Happy Friday, y’all! We’re out here trying to keep each other grounded, staying connected to our friends and families from afar, funnel what resources we can to q***r and POC owned small businesses, and continuing to support our couples each and every day. We are so impressed by how our couples are navigating uncertainty, with humor, patience and levity. If you have questions, just reach out. We are happy to talk with any and all couples right now with questions!

Woohooooo! Welcome to our 200th follower! We launched Modern Aisles in January - before the turmoil and in the midst of engagement season. We have been BLOWN AWAY with the support, excitement, and resonance we’ve received. Our books are basically full for 2020, and already filling for 2021. We decided to grow our following here truly organically - letting the right folks find their way to us - and we are so delighted at the community we’re growing. Thanks for the support, all. We can’t wait to see what’s ahead. 💯💯

We know that some of our clients are navigating this moment by adapting to new schedules. It is moments like this that remind us about the power of what we do, and why. Celebration is a time to get grounded and be present - not in spite of what’s happening in the world but because of it. It’s a chance to be as gleeful as these two, even in the face of challenges and fear. It isn’t to say, “forget what’s happening out there” but rather, “how do we come together so we are all stronger when we leave?” May you find small ways to celebrate today and everyday ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy International Womxn’s Day from the Modern Aisles team to you!!! To all those femmes, womxn & non-binary folx who are fiercely navigating the world (and the wedding industry!): we see you, we love you, and we got you.

We had the dreamiest day with Meaghan and Becca. These two have known each other for years, having met working at summer camp. Their decor was outdoorsy and the ceremony was filled with poetry and the reception had such sweet music provided by family and friends. What a treat to get to support such kind and loving folks!

The cutest family picture! We love helping couples integrate their fur babes into wedding day festivities! Congratulations to this adorable couple and a perfect moment with their dog of honor 😀🎉💯

Wanna get hitched at a city park? Have a band es**rt you from your the park to your reception hall? AND look goddamn gorgeous and gleeful while you do it? We can help make that happen!!!

We're celebrating being live for one month!!! Read about what we've learned so far. Thanks everyone for your support and love!

Modern Aisles has had our virtual doors open for one month! Here's what we've learned about wedding planning and what couples need most in a day of wedding coordinator.

We've spent three gorgeous days in Austin, TX, soaking in the sunshine, building out new client work, and filling our cups with inspiration and creativity. From adorable outdoor wedding design styles to cute elopement venues, we're coming back to the PNW with so many sweet ideas for our 2020 clients.

08/02/2020

We’re in Austin doing some biz dev and recharging after our first month in business. On the sunniest day of the trip, we visited Hamilton Pool Reserves. And all we could think was, “damn. This would be a *dreamy* place for an elopement.” What do you think?

Happy Birthday to Elyse, our lead planner and Co-Founder of Modern Aisles! This magical human cultivates joy and celebration wherever she goes! Thank you for being the badass q***r femme boss that you are!!! 🔥🔥🔥🌈❤️😘

01/02/2020

It's and we're officially 3 weeks in and couldn't be happier with how folks have embraced us!! Enjoy this gem of the Modern Aisles co-founders in their natural state 😂❤️

Happy weekend! We're over here celebrating the successful first week of our business. Thanks to everyone who has referred us! Our momentum is building and we already have **5 leads in the first 5 days!** (I know, we can hardly believe it either!)

This is so gratifying - not just for us, but for every couple that hasn't seen themselves fully reflected in the wedding industry. We see you. We got you. And we can't wait for what's ahead!

We love this list from A Practical Wedding! While you could, theoretically, DIY your entire wedding, maybe hand embellishing every napkin isn't *really* worth it. Time to flex those cost-benefit skills for your own time and energies!

Want to save money on the wedding day, but you also want to avoid crying into a pile of 400 half-dyed napkins two days before your wedding? Fair. We've gathered a list of every wedding DIY option (food, invites, DJ), and a gauge for deciding when it's your best bet.

17/01/2020

Thanks to our first 50 followers! The support during our launch week has been epic so far - and it's only Day 3! We can't wait to see what's in store with Modern Aisles and the couples we'll meet along the way. Thank you!

Wedding planning and coordination that reflects the values of authenticity and joy! We're trying to meet the needs of couples who haven’t traditionally been centered by the wedding industry - Inclusivity is at the core of our business. We’re proud to be part of the re-shaping and re-designing of an old tradition with Modern Style and Intention! If you want a wedding planner who understands chosen family, gender pronouns and centered community, we got you!

How do you want to FEEL on your wedding day? Fellow planner extraordinaires The Plannery put their clients' feelings front and center on the wedding day, and that's what we try to do at Modern Aisles. Yes, we're logistics whizzes, but at the end of the day, it's about how you feel.

I recently talked on my InstaStories about exercise, and how tangentially that related back to wedding planning (check my ramblings out here in my highlights, if you want the original source material!). Basically, I was thinking about how I, as a typical type-A person, suffer from anxiety and I’ve

Every small business starts somewhere - ours began as a spark of an idea on the canals of Amsterdam! The city was dreamy and we witnessed so much joy and love being celebrated that inspiring spring. We wanted to help couples create meaningful moments of celebration where they could fully enjoy and experience their community's deepest joy. Read more about how Modern Aisles began!
