How do you create the perfect wedding day?

The perfect wedding day isn’t about flawlessness; it’s about embracing each moment with joy and love, no matter what. Wedding day perfection isn’t about everything going exactly as planned. It’s about experiencing the pure, unfiltered joy of your wedding day, surrounded by love and trusting the day which is in the capable hands of your chosen vendor team.

Here’s to love, laughter, and a day you’ll remember not for how perfectly it went according to plan, but for how perfectly it captured the essence of you as a couple.

Back in the office this week, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to kick things off by celebrating the anniversary of one of my favorite couples, Morgan and Tyler! It feels like just yesterday Morgan manifested her dream wedding, and I had the incredible privilege of being part of that beautiful journey. Watching her vision come to life was truly magical, and being there to see every moment unfold was such an honor.

Morgan is someone I’ve always admired, not just for her grace and hard word but for her incredible giving spirit. To now call her a friend is something I truly cherish. I love you both, Morgan and Tyler! Here’s to one year of marriage down and a lifetime of happiness ahead. Cheers to many more anniversaries and memories to come! 🥂

Fall is officially here, even if the thermometer still reads 90 degrees here in Tennessee. It feels like we’re caught in a tug-of-war between summer’s lingering heat and autumn’s promise of cooler days. I can’t be the only one eagerly anticipating that refreshing drop in temperature, the cozy sweaters, and the vibrant fall foliage. Who else is ready for crisp air and pumpkin-spiced everything?

This weekend, we were in Oxford for Cortland's baseball tournament, and I had such a blast showing him around the city and all the venues I've worked at! He always gets a kick out of seeing where I work. On a side note, whenever I need a pick-me-up (and after some dental work, I could definitely use it), I just look at this gallery. Gia’s smile is pure magic—it can light up any room!

Designing a wedding reception is about so much more than the beautiful florals, dreamy linens, and stunning décor.

While, yes, as planners, we absolutely love creating those aesthetically pleasing moments, what truly makes the reception magical is the atmosphere created by the people in that space. It’s about envisioning a room filled with those closest to you—your family, your friends, your tribe—and the joy, love, and laughter that will fill every corner.

The real magic happens in the moments: your best friend's toast that makes you cry, the look your parents exchange as they watch you dance, or that burst of laughter shared with a loved one over an inside joke. The design sets the stage, but it's the people who bring it to life, creating memories that will stay with you long after the day is over.

As we design with intention, we’re not just crafting a beautiful space; we’re setting the scene for unforgettable moments. And those are the details that matter most.

Over the past year, I made a big decision to cut my wedding workload in half, and it's been one of the best choices for both my family and my clients. As we head into the 2025 season, I'm continuing this path to stay more present for life's important moments—like cheering on my kids at baseball tournaments—while still giving my couples the full attention they deserve.

By focusing on fewer weddings, I can be more hands-on throughout the entire planning process. This shift allows me to provide a more personalized and detailed experience for my clients without feeling stretched too thin. It's all about balance, and I’ve found that this approach lets me deliver the quality and care every couple deserves.

Here’s to celebrating love stories and family—without compromise.

Let’s have a heart-to-heart, wedding pros. It’s time we put ‘day-of coordination’ to rest. Why? Because the reality is, you can’t just show up on the big day and magically pull together 5,000 puzzle pieces. A true wedding coordinator is like the conductor of a grand symphony, orchestrating every detail in advance to ensure the harmony and flow of the event. From managing timelines to troubleshooting last-minute hiccups, our role is far from a one-day affair.

By referring to our services as ‘day-of coordination,’ we unintentionally downplay the extensive preparation and expertise required to make a wedding seamless. Let’s give ourselves the credit we deserve and communicate our value clearly to clients. Embrace the term ‘wedding management’ or ‘month-of coordination’ to reflect the comprehensive and meticulous planning we actually provide. After all, every love story deserves a flawless finale, and that starts with recognizing the true scope of our craft.

As your wedding planner, one of my favorite moments is the big reception room reveal! Picture this: you’ve just finished capturing stunning post-ceremony photos, and now it’s time to see the breathtaking reception space for the first time. My team and I have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring your vision to life. Coordinating seamlessly with the florists, caterers, decorators, and lighting experts, we ensure every detail is impeccably placed, every centerpiece is perfectly aligned, and every chair is in position.

Before guests arrive and start mingling, we sneak you in for an exclusive first look. This private moment allows you to soak in the beauty and hard work that has gone into creating this dream setting. You’ll have a chance to take in every element—from the table settings to the ambient lighting—exactly as you imagined it. This special reveal is a magical time, and it’s my privilege to orchestrate it, ensuring you experience the space in all its pristine glory before it becomes the backdrop for unforgettable memories!

There is no such thing as a perfect wedding day. There. I said it. Although, in full tranparency, Harrison & Gia’s wedding was really close to perfection…there are moments where the timeline is right on track, vendors are killing at their job and the couple is basking in the moments of the day…Even with careful planning, unexpected issues may arise during your wedding day.

As Certified Wedding Planners we are adept to troubleshooting and finding quick solutions. Whether it’s a minor glitch with the sound system or a missing item, we will handle it discreetly and efficiently, shielding you from unnecessary stress and allowing you to enjoy the celebration without interruption!

Morgan: We are considering putting a pretty big neon sign right there.
Me: Perfrct spot, how big?

The biggest neon sign we have ever had a at a wedding. Was such a fun impact but also incorporated personal touch as this was a lyric in their first dance song.

The details, y’all. They do matter.
