Such an honor to be published with some of our favorite vendor partners!!! We just loved partnering on this Mid Century Retro look!

"The theme for this shoot is a mid-century retro inspiration. I absolutely love mid-century colors, design, and style trends, and wanted to design something that provided a step back in time with a modern vibe. A mid-century color palette offers an array of cheerful colors, providing an endless variety of gorgeous blooms to choose from. We embraced luscious yellows, blush pinks, an array of blue hues, pops of red and burgundy, subtle greenery, and organic wood elements as our key palette to create this colorful landscape." Heather Tyler, Lead Planner at Blue Skies Weddings and Events

Meet The Blue Skies Team Monday!

Hi there, friends! It’s June, your go-to wedding planner and a true romantic at heart! 💖

I’ve always believed in the power of love and the magic that surrounds weddings. This past year, I endured my own happily ever after when I married my forever soul mate! The feeling of being head over heels in love is indescribable, and it fuels my passion for creating extraordinary wedding experiences!

A little about me…I’m a HUGE animal lover, a compassionate caregiver, and a friend to each and every person who crosses my path. I pour my heart and soul into everything I do, and my optimism always shines through! You’ll always find me happy and smiling, embracing life to the fullest!

As a wedding planner, I have the incredible privilege of witnessing some truly magical moments behind the scenes. And there are two moments in particular that steal my breath away every single time!

The first is that heart-stopping moment when the ceremony doors swing open and the couple lock eyes for the first time. The emotions that flood the room, the tears of joy, and the overwhelming love in that instant are simply unforgettable. In that moment, the world fades away, and it’s just the two of them, ready to embark on a beautiful journey together. 💍

And let’s not forget the reception, where all the hard work and late-night inspiration come to life! The room reveal is my second favorite moment. Seeing the couple’s faces light up as they step into a dreamy, fairytale setting that we’ve meticulously crafted is pure magic! It’s a testament to the power of love and the joy that surrounds this special day.

If you’re as captivated by love and weddings as I am, let’s connect and create unforgettable moments for your beautiful day! Together, we can make your wedding dreams come true!

Allison and Bryan’s reception was a dream come true for our amazing couple! Their reception was adorned with exquisite centerpieces that elevated their amazing day to new heights. Each centerpiece was a breathtaking arrangement of elegant blooms, carefully chosen to match the romantic color palette of their wedding.

The room was without a doubt filled with love, laughter, and the sweet fragrance of flowers, making it the perfect night to remember. 🌺💍

Hi!!! I'm Samantha, wedding planner extraordinaire! Joining the Blue Skies team 10 years ago was the best decision I ever made and has brought so much love and beautiful friendships with our couples into my life!

I’m a head over heels in love kind of girl! The girl who watches “Say Yes To The Dress” and Hallmark Movies year round! In 2022, I had the absolute joy of embracing in my own fairytale and marrying my high school sweetheart and this past year welcoming our beautiful baby girl into our family.

From the tiniest details to the grandest gestures, I adore every aspect of wedding planning. But one moment holds a special place in my heart - the couples' last dance in the reception room.

After an unforgettable night of celebrating with loved ones, this final dance brings tears to my eyes every time. It's a moment where the newlyweds can pause, reflect, and cherish the memories of their breathtaking day. It's a reminder of the power of love and the beauty of a wedding day.

Being a part of these special moments is truly a blessing. I am so grateful for every couple who entrusts me with their dream wedding, and I am honored to be a witness to their love story and many more to come!

Amanda and Tyler’s magical wedding celebration was held at one of our favorite wedding venues…Mision Lago, which captured the breathtaking essence of our couples Tuscan-inspired dream wedding.

Our beautiful blushing bride in her gorgeous gown, walked down the aisle to her forever love who stood at the alter surrounded by family and friends, with a smile that could light up a Tuscan countryside to marry his best friend.

From the venues beautiful, lush vineyard backdrop, to our couples romantic table-scape of soft florals and flickering candlelight, followed by their hip reception completed with a LED dance floor, everything was perfect in creating an elegant and fun-filled atmosphere for their big day!

We raise a glass to our amazing newlyweds! Congratulations Amanda and Tyler!
