PRO TIP: Give your little flower girl small flower heads rather than petals to sprinkle. It’s easier for smaller hands to grip and shows up even better in photos!
Hey! Hey!! It’s Food Truck Friday! Tell us, Nashville…what are you favorite mobile eats?
Here in the south anything that isn’t a meat is a vegetable.
Yep. You read that correctly.
Mac and cheese is a veggie.
So, what veggies will you be serving at your wedding?
What’s your favorite way to beat the heat?
When you just know the wedding is going to be Dino-Mite!!🦖🦕
Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones that would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.

Fragrance is a major memory trigger, which is why it’s so important you take the time to invest in a great fragrance for you to wear on your wedding day.
What’s your signature scent?
Champagne toast or not?🥂
Many of our couples will either have us pre-pour champagne for all their guests prior to the toasts or eliminate it entirely in favor of toasting with whatever is already on hand. 🍾
While we love the look and tradition of a champagne toast, the more economical option is to eliminate it as most guests tend not to drink it and we end up disposing of more bubbly than what actually gets consumed.🥂🍾
What type of vehicle are you planning on for your end of the night get-away?
PSA: If you dabble in anything that you could say is needed at a wedding (ie. floral, music, planning), PLEASE do not offer this as a wedding gift to your family or friends. PLEASE understand that the trained professionals who have years of experience know things that you don’t, understand the intricacies of weddings and know how many hours and how much labor it takes. It is a sweet gesture, but you don’t have any idea what you are getting yourself into and it will very likely end up in a not ideal situation (I’m trying to be nice...) Get dressed up, grab a cocktail and dance the night away with your friend/family member. Leave the months of planning and coordinating up to the professionals.
Happiness and confidence are the most beautiful things you can wear on your wedding day.

Say what you will, but we think horizontal cascade bouquets are the best thing ever!!
Did you know that a cookie table is a wedding tradition where in addition to a wedding cake, a large table with different cookies is presented to guests at the wedding reception.
This Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Youngstown, Ohio tradition has family members baking dozens of cookies to contribute to the cookie table.
Cookie tables are found at Italian, Polish, Greek, Slovak, Serbian Orthodox, Austrian, Hungarian, and Scandinavian wedding receptions.
The world record for the largest cookie table was set on August 11, 2019 in Monongahela, Pennsylvania with 88,425 cookies!!
Will you serve any other desserts aside from wedding cake at your reception?
“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not in my nature.”
- Jane Austen
As a planner, the one thing I always recommend that couples splurge on is excellent photography.
These photos are going to be what you’re leaving your descendants to remember you by.
Who will be photographing your special day??
Ready to take the big step forward! It’s time to slip on that perfect pair of wedding day shoes and get ready for a lifetime of love and adventure!
We plan so much more than just weddings.
What milestones you be celebrating this year??
“Allow love to take root in your heart. And a million flowers will bloom within your soul.”
What beautiful blooms will you choose for your event?
Wedding dress alterations usually take around 6 to 8 weeks to complete.
We recommend that brides schedule their first bridal fitting about 8 weeks before the wedding day for an extra bit of wiggle room in scheduling.
Sunflowers symbolize many things. Happiness, loyalty, friendship and adoration. They can be used to express feelings of admiration and affection. They are also often for happy occasions like weddings, birthdays, and baby showers.
Sunflowers symbolize long life, vitality, good luck, intelligence, and happiness.
What will your wedding flowers say about you?
“When you trip over love, it is easy to get up. But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again.”
— Albert Einstein
Certain sunscreen ingredients found in powders and foundations can reflect light when you’re photographed indoors using a flash, creating unflattering patchiness on your skin (SPF moisturizers aren’t a problem when they’re covered with foundation). Either play it safe on the big day with sunscreen-free makeup (if your wedding’s primarily indoors), or if you’re set on using a favorite formula that has sunscreen, mention this to your photographer to see what they say.
Will you have littles in your wedding? Be prepared for those cuties to steal the show!💛
