Bubbly Events is about more than weddings or the flawless ex*****on of your event. It's about truly being able to relax and pop the bubbly!

Bubbly events will step in at any point in your event's planning stages, whether you just don't know where to start or you only want someone to be your eyes on your big day. Bubbly events will help you manage everything from the weekend's timeline, set up, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and clean up down to the details of weddings that can sometimes get forgotten. Let's meet for a drink and talk about your wedding and how I can help!

Let’s talk red flags 🚩🚩🚩

When it comes to working together on your big day, we’re huge proponents of it being a good fit for *both* parties - us as a planning team and YOU as a couple. SWIPE to learn a few things that may be cause for concern when we’re on a discovery call with a couple ➡️

Some of these may be tough to hear, but we speak from experience 🫠 Wedding vendors - tap in! Was this helpful? Let us know if you want more tips like these!

The classics are classics for a reason, y’all 🤍🎶

Now this is just our opinion, and the most important thing is that YOU as the couple are happy with your song choices. Picking something meaningful to you, whatever it may be, is what we always try to encourage, but if you’re stuck these ⬆️ are some of our favorites when it comes to the ceremony 🎻

What are some wedding ceremony songs that you never get tired of hearing? Should we do another post like this dedicated to reception favorites?? Let us know in the comments! 👇🏼

“Emily wanted their wedding venue to have a modern aesthetic with clean lines, neutral colors, natural light, and greenery. They decided on Wrightsville Manor, with its lush exterior and gorgeous reception space with a wall of glass. Inspired by the television series Bridgerton, the couple hired Deans’ Duets, a classically trained string quartet, to play modern songs as the guests arrived and during the ceremony.

The ceremony space was decorated beautifully with four columns of tall floral arrangements and a white square arch adorned with lovely florals. Austin and Emily exchanged their vows, with Austin’s heartfelt words drawing tears from the guests and Emily’s lighthearted vows prompting merry laughs.”

So excited to see Emily + Austins’ STUNNING spring wedding featured in 😍🤍 Every detail was meticulously planned by these two (we would expect nothing less from two dentists) and it was an honor to bring it all to life!

Let us start by saying, you absolutely do not NEED any of these things to prepare for your wedding.

We actually advise AGAINST doing anything *totally* out of your normal routine (trying a drastically different haircut, overhauling your skincare regimen too close to the big day, or really doing anything that doesn’t make YOU feel like your best self).

BUT, for those wondering about best timing for ‘tox, spray tans, nail appointments and more... swipe to see our recommendations ➡️

We truly believe you’re already perfect as you are (and we know your partner agrees 🥲), but we do get asked occasionally about scheduling some of these things! So save this post for when the wedding day approaches and you need to reference back to set up your beauty appointments (plus, you DEFINITELY deserve a little relaxation before the big day 💆‍♀️).

Dearest Gentle Reader,

It appears the Diamond of the season has officially been spoken for. 💎

Serious Bridgerton // garden party vibes on Kendall + JDs’ wedding day and it was absolute PERFECTION (we think Lady Whistledown would even say so ✍️).

SO much more to share from this stunning weekend, but for now we’ll leave you with this little sneak peek from 😍✨

Let’s set the record straight 💯

Swipe to learn more about some common misconceptions we hear in the wedding community 👉

1. Many couples we work with are *already* married on their actual wedding day / celebration. This happens for a number of personal reasons, but many times it’s for insurance purposes or because the couple wants to make sure it’s CRYSTAL clear for their officiant if they’re traveling out of state for their wedding. Here in NC, laws can make it tricky for certain officiants to *legally* marry you in accordance to the laws of your home state.

2. Gone are the days when the “father of the bride foots the bill”. The wedding budget is often brought together by many contributing members - in large part, the couples themselves.

3. Whewww the misconceptions about pricing within the wedding industry. 😮‍💨 Long story short: weddings are EXPENSIVE. If you have a set budget, your favorite venue or certain vendors may be outside of your price range. That is OKAY - but it does not change the numbers.

4. Along with budget - wedding vendors do not hike up their prices just because “it’s a wedding.” We truly put our hearts and souls into ensuring you have the *once-in-a-lifetime* wedding day. And that’s a tall task - one we’re fully capable of taking on, but many factors go into pricing our packages. Whether it’s a peak season date vs. an off-season date, or if there is a ton of prep / logistics that go into planning — every wedding is so different. We all have set standard pricing, but many factors lead to custom quotes.

The details from Danlee + Matt’s day were too good not to dedicate an entire post to. We loved the inscriptions inside these floral stands - just a little personal touch to thank their guests for coming to celebrate them 🥹 And the personal hot sauces?! So much thought went into this wedding day from the getting ready portion of the day, to the ceremony and well into the celebration that evening.

Happy Friday from the Bubbly fam (swipe for the goodest boy + girl 😬🤍)!

First things first 🍽️🤍

We always start by having a conversation with our couples and ask them to truly think about their guests - you know your people better than we do! What types of weddings do you / they normally attend? Do they get antsy sitting or are they expecting multiple courses? Is space at a premium?

With these things in mind, we can make a better informed decision about the type of dinner service you want to offer on your big day. There are no wrong answers, but we can definitely play to your guests (and your) style of service knowing these things in advance!

What are your thoughts? What type of dinner did you have at your own wedding? Would you change anything looking back? Let our 2024 + 2025 couples know in the comments!! 🥂

Swipe for Team Bubbly’s non-negotiables 👉

To provide the absolute BEST service to all of our couples, there are *just a few* things we personally believe make all the difference on your wedding day when it comes to your planning team.

1️⃣ By booking only one event per day, we can ensure that our focus is FULLY on you as the couple and our team isn’t spread thin. I also find it SUPER important as the lead planner to personally attend your rehearsal, so the run through goes as smoothly as possible and everyone feels extra comfortable on wedding day.

2️⃣ Because we are very well-versed with the venues AND vendors we work with, we know how many hands will be needed and are able to avoid over-staffing “just in case.” We don’t believe in bringing in auxiliary staff just to stand around, or charge you an extra fee.

3️⃣ From the time you arrive at the venue, to receiving your vendors throughout the day, to personally lighting your sparklers and cleaning up at the end of the night - I am present from start to finish. I LOVE seeing your whole day through, and am able to personally ensure every single thing on your dream day is completely taken care of.

Sound like a good fit? Visit the website or email [email protected] with your wedding date to set up your consultation! 🩵

Wishing a VERY special 15th wedding anniversary to the lady who started it all and her love - Katie & Albie!! 🤍🍾✨1️⃣5️⃣

15 years adventuring, learning + celebrating life together. Not to mention, somewhat of a starting point for Bubbly Events as Katie planned her own wedding, then took that knowledge to help others before going full time! If you've seen these two around town, you know that their love for each other is SO sweet + pure and they have the best time together doing literally anything.

And the best is yet to come. Cheers to many, many more!! 🥹🥂

“Can’t recommend Katie enough as a wedding planner. She knows the industry, the people, the places, and just about everything you can think of. She’s so trustworthy and she is always working her magic with a very calm composure! I really didn’t want to put a lot of effort into wedding planning and she 100% understood the mission and made pointed and bold recommendations, took things off my plate when needed, and kept us in check with important timelines and deadlines. She has clearly done this A BAJILLION TIMES!!!!!!

All of her recommendations were amazing and the wedding was so seamless and all of the vendors were truly spectacular, especially the food!!!

On wedding day I felt like I didn’t have to use my brain one time. I just waited for Katie to tell me what to do and it was so easy :)”
-Nicole P.

Calm but bold - name a better duo. 🧘‍♀️💪✨ We love being your point person during the planning process and the ones to lead you through the wedding day of your dreams. With the Bubbly Team in your corner on your wedding day, you can relax knowing we’ve got everything handled! 2025 dates are starting to book up — reach out today to learn more about working with us! 🤍

You read that right... 🦷🤍✨

Emily + Austin are both dentists, so they had some fun with their es**rt display and it was easily our favorite detail of the day!! Each tooth was acrylic and had the guests' names + their table numbers -- a perfect little takeaway for the guests too!

' Atlas Wall with custom trim was the perfect backdrop plus arrangements from really brought it all together ✨ We made a quick trip to Home Depot beforehand for the hooks and carefully measured // placed each one -- symmetry and perfection was the goal for these dentists 🤌

So much more to come from this stunning day!!

If you're getting married in the summer months (especially in the south!) - this post is for you! 😎🤍

First, make sure to SAVE 📌 this post to look back on later when you're making all your checklists!

✨ First on the list is SHADE for your guests -- there is nothing worse than being stuck outside for an entire ceremony + cocktail hour sweating through your pretty dress // nice tux, makeup melting off and a nice farmer's tan to boot. Popup storms can also move through at virtually ANY moment (again if you live in Wilmington, you know), so we always encourage our couples to add this coverage.

✨ Right along with #1, make sure your guests have easily accessible water (this is a big one for MANY reasons). Guests will already be lining up at the bar for cocktails - put the water station somewhere separate so people can refill without problem.

✨ Handheld fans for throughout the ceremony // cocktail hour are a nice touch and something guests can easily stick in their purses. Etsy has plenty of cute personalized ones. Adding bigger fans to your tent setup (that can be installed up on the tent frame) is also a great idea that your guests will appreciate!

✨ Refresh stations! This is a thoughtful add-on year round, but especially during those warmer months when people might need items they haven't thought to bring along. A cute basket for each bathroom with just a few products goes a long way.

We love celebrating + honoring all couples and their family traditions ✨

Incorporating the Pyebaek ceremony was so special to pay homage to Nicole’s Korean heritage - really brought things to life with everything needed to execute this unique ceremony!

OBSESSED with these photos of the moment from and how you can really see Nicole + Cameron love for each other shine through. Plus their guests were SO CUTE. Core memories in the making. 🥹

A little sneak peek at some of the details from Nicole + Camerons’ wedding day

This day was SO fun and unique from beginning to end, and the most fun to design + see come together. From the floral design to the traditional Korean Pyebaek ceremony to the late night ramen bar, each detail was planned so thoughtfully and truly felt like the celebration of a lifetime for Nicole, Cameron and their loved ones. They followed their hearts on making the day of their dreams come true - right down to the last minute decision to cut their tent and go with the outdoor ceremony, despite a morning full of rainstorms 🤍☔

More to come from this stunning day!! ✨✨✨

Swipe to see some wedding trends we’re loving so far this season! ➡️

While a couple of these aren’t *brand* new in 2024, we’re happy to see them stick around this season 🤍

✨ First, not having your wedding party stand up with you during the whole ceremony is something we’ve been seeing a lot more of recently! We love this because it keeps the focus on YOU as a couple. Your favorite people can still get their moment walking up / down the aisle and sitting in the front row, but there is no added pressure or distraction of having them standing (sometimes uncomfortably for long ceremonies) the entire time.

✨ We are big fans of prioritizing little pockets of private time together throughout the wedding day. The day goes by SO quickly and there are lots of people wanting your attention - you can quickly get separated and end up spending your entire reception without each other. Eating dinner privately or incorporating a first look are ways you can make sure to refocus on each other.

✨ Guest events are a great way to make sure you spend time with all of your loved ones before / after the actual wedding day, so you don’t feel like you’re being pulled in a million different directions or like you missed someone. We love welcome parties the night before because it’s low-pressure and a nice way to set the tone for the weekend 🙂

✨ While this isn’t a new trend, it’s one of our favorites - outfit change for the reception just adds such a fun element and you can continue to let your personalities shine through a sassy jumpsuit, different color dinner jacket or matching sneakers!

Make sure you’re following for more tips + inspo like this 🫶🏼

17/03/2024

May love and laughter light your days,
And warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
Wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world,
With joy that long endures
May all life’s passing seasons
Bring the best to you and yours 🤍

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all who celebrate!! 🍀🍀🍀

“On the wedding day itself, Katie was really able to shine. She brings an air of authority that everyone can sense and appreciate. She directs traffic, keeps everyone on schedule, and answers every odd question that buddies and aunties have for her. All day, the guests and my family commented on how impressed they were with her and how happy they were that she was on top of things.

While she was direct with vendors and guests, Katie struck an impressive balance with me throughout the course of the day – always being reassuring and supportive as we went from one phase of the day to the other. Even in the face of catastrophe – the zipper of my wedding dress broke open during photos! – Katie remained positive, dealt with the crisis, and kept me calm while we solved the problem.” -Morgan B.

From seamstress to traffic controller to vendor liaison (among many other titles!) we’re honored to wear ALL the hats on your wedding day 🤍 such a SWEET review from Morgan + Alex’s day last September. They are one of our many out of town couples, and trusted us fully to execute the day of their dreams from afar!

Whether you’re right here in Wilmington or planning your wedding from out of state, we’re here to guide you through the whole process! Visit our website to learn more and inquire about your wedding date - 2025 dates are already filling up! ✨

Congrats!! You’re engaged 🍾🍾

SAVE📌 this post to refer back to when it comes to wedding planning / what order to book your vendors in!

If you’re planning on a longer engagement (more than one year), we’ve put together some tips for you to take some of the stress of WHEN to book all your vendors. Here are a few you can knock out ASAP, regardless of what your countdown looks like:

VENUE - this should be top priority as venues book out sometimes years in advance! If you have a certain date in mind, make sure you start shopping around right away and send your date along with questions about availability.

PLANNER - of course, having an excellent planning team right off the bat makes things SO much easier in the long run (if we do say so ourselves). Having someone that can send you reminders when it is time to book certain vendors, give you recommendations based on your budget + style, and being there for guidance when it comes to all the little things that pop up along the way truly does go a long way.

PHOTOGRAPHER / VIDEOGRAPHER - We like putting this at the top of the list, because when the day is all said and done, really all you have left are your photos / videos, so choosing a team you really love + align with is super important. PLUS we highly recommend doing engagement photos to build trust with your photographer + to be able to use for your wedding invites, save-the-dates, etc.

Wedding dress, floral designer and catering can also be included in the 1+ year category 👰🏻‍♀️

Vendors that you can start booking at the 12 month countdown:
HOTEL BLOCKS
BEAUTY
TRANSPORTATION

Keep in mind, everyone’s priorities are different, so if you have a makeup artist you’re dying to work with that you know is very popular, book them as soon as that engagement ring hits your finger, girl! You can certainly have an incredible wedding with a shorter timeline, but always start with YOUR priorities and go from there.

We’ve put together several posts on a broken down 12-month timeline so make sure to scroll back and check those out!

Name a better feeling -- we'll wait 😍🥹

This moment right here is what we LIVE for. All of the moments that got you here, when you weren't sure how it was going to all come together, when the to-do list seemed never-ending, when you contemplated just eloping somewhere (we all go through it 😂) - you made it together, surrounded by your favorite people, and get to walk into this next chapter with your HUSBAND or WIFE! How cool is that?!

If you’ve visited our website recently, you may have noticed our service offerings look slightly different than other planners out there…

WHAT WE USED TO OFFER:
Full Service
Partial Service
Management

WHAT WE CURRENTLY OFFER:
Event Planning
Event Planning + Design

Why did we make this change? Let’s break it down:

A few years ago, I started to notice that there were specific services I felt that ALL clients should be receiving to get the best of what I have to offer - and on the flip side of that, there were things I wasn’t interested in doing. The best thing about running my own business is that if it doesn’t work, I have the ability to change it.

I spend a lot of time on consultation calls explaining what I do within each level of my services, but ultimately I have found the change to be a really great transition for both my clients and my team!

Our Event Planning + Design package combines ALL the elements of having a full-service planner, so you have an advocate helping you bring the wedding of your dreams to life along with the careful detail and consideration of a completely personalized design.

A step down from that is our Event Planning service, where we’ll still act as your liaison when it comes to vendors and venue, but the aesthetic vision is definitely more in your hands! Perfect for the type-A couples who just need more of a guiding hand.

Questions? Reach out to [email protected] to inquire about your date or visit the website to learn more!

Once the dust settles after your wedding day, you may be wondering what you can do to thank your vendors + the team that made it all happen! Swipe for some of our favorite ideas 🤍👉

✨ Reviews serve as some of the best marketing tools for your vendors. Be honest and give details about how they really made your day unforgettable! These go a longggg way.

✨ I have kept every single one of the thank you notes my couples write me in a box and I re-read them every Thanksgiving. 🥹 If tipping isn’t in the budget (and even if it is!), thank you notes are so special and mean so much to your vendors.

✨ I currently have 200 leftover cocktail napkins in my garage waiting to go home with their owner 🥰 - definitely check in with your coordinating team to see if they still have any items they may have held onto for you! Also, see if some of those one-and-done items could find a new home with someone that could use them (a florist may love your cool table numbers or a velvet ring box may make a great addition to your photographer’s kit!).

✨ TAGGING. Please, please, please tag your vendors on your social media posts. It is such a great and simple tool for our work to be seen by others! And of course we love getting to see + relive the day with you, too!!

Now, obviously we’re a little biased. 😇 But here ⬆️ is why we truly think it’s worth every penny when it comes to investing in a wedding planner.

Planning a wedding is something (most) of our couples have never done before! Even if you have a crystal clear vision of what you want your day to look like, the coordination of making it all happen seamlessly is actually a LOT more involved than it may look.

The day should be spent with your most favorite people on the planet, celebrating your love and future together - not worrying about whether you’re on track with the timeline, if Uncle Bob is behaving himself, if the flowers arrived on time, if everyone got the meal they ordered - we could go on and on.

If you’re still on the fence, check out our website to view our offerings + galleries, or reach out with your wedding date! We can’t wait to chat 🤍

Long story short... YES - every couple feels like they truly had the *best day ever* 🥹✨🤍 The bride that asked me (not this lovely lady in the video!) posed the question during her outfit change for her reception, because she was riding that wedding day high that all of our couples do - and just couldn’t believe that her feelings could be replicated. She felt like the luckiest girl in the world. And I believe a large part of that is having a team of professionals prepared to help make that happen, so that you can fully experience your wedding day, each other, and all your loved ones coming together to celebrate you.

One of our favorite wedding trends for 2023 + 2024 is *maximalism* and that means going big or going home when it comes to decor and overall style for the day. Having fun with colors from the floral design to the invites to the bridesmaids dresses has been so refreshing (though classic palettes are classic for a reason - there are no wrong answers here!). Big shoutout to the vendors for crushing this wedding design, and Caroline, Brad and their wedding party for absolutely BRINGING IT 🔥 Venue: @wrightsvillemanornc Photos: @meaganforbes Flowers: @designsbydillonnc Makeup: @amykmua Hair: @bangzhairsalonandspa

The wedding rehearsal may seem like a no-brainer, but there are lots of little nuances that you may not have given too much thought about yet 🤔 One of the biggest takeaways is DON’T rush it - from walking down the aisle, to the vows to the first kiss. You get one shot, so it’s OKAY to take your time and make sure it’s right! You also want to give your photographer / videographer enough time to get those incredible shots, so one of our favorite little tips is count to 3 Mississippi during the first kiss (and practice! Seriously 🤣). Did any of these surprise you? Let us know in the comments!

A closer look at this moment 🩷💚🩵💛 We must say, we are LOVING that the trend of different colored bridesmaids dresses seems to be sticking around 👏🏼 it allows your girls to wear something they’re comfortable in and the photos are absolutely stunning. So much more from Caroline + Brad’s day to share!! Stay tuned ✨ Venue: @wrightsvillemanorn Photos: @meaganforbes Flowers: @designsbydillonnc Makeup: @amykmua Hair: @bangzhairsalonandspa

3 simple but *important* tips to keep calm the morning of your wedding: 🤍 designate someone to be in charge of bringing a Bluetooth speaker: music UP, best friends and closest family right there with you, let the day flow and really settle into the celebration 💃🏻 🤍 plan a breakfast or lunch AND snacks while y’all are getting ready. It’s important everyone stays fed and hydrated! When considering what to have available, think about what you and your wedding party will actually eat: go-to snacks that were on-hand at the bach party, what you usually reach for when you’re hungry (hint: it’s usually not a veggie tray 🙃 I throw away sooo many of these at the end of the night!). Think mini-muffins, goldfish, chick-fil-a delivery, chopped salads! 🤍 most importantly, trust that you and your day are now in the best of hands. Your vendors are ready to execute the vision you + they have worked so hard on- your only job now is to get down the aisle and celebrate with all your loved ones! 🪩 Bonus points if your pup gets to make a visit 🥹 Venue: Wrightsville Manor Photography: Trinity Tolbert Photography Flowers: Designs by Dillon Beauty: Meraki Beauty Rentals: Party Suppliers & Rentals Specialty rentals: White Birch Rentals Catering: Spoonfed Kitchen & Bakeshop

Overwhelmed with the *endless* options for wedding decor? Where do you even start with picking a palette or flowers or place settings? 😅 FIRST, don’t fret if you’re a Bubbly couple – we’ll have multiple meetings to discuss alllll the design details. But in the meantime, here are a few things to think about: Pick a few words to describe how you want your day to FEEL. Romantic, bright, modern, glamorous, easygoing, playful (just to name a few!). This will help guide you when picking design elements that tie in with your overall vibe for the day. When you think about looking back at your photos in 20-50 years, do you think you’ll still love that color palette that’s trending on Instagram right now? This is a quick trick we like to use across the board when making decisions about your big day – trends are pretty and make for a great photo op in the moment, but will they stand the test of time? Take advantage of your venue and its surroundings. Does your venue have clean lines and modern fixtures? Or does it have traditional charm and original historic elements? Will your reception be close to the water or center city? These can all be determining factors in your decor plan. Ultimately you want your wedding day to be representative of you as a couple, your values and your style!

H E A V E N 🤍 This is about as close as it gets 😍 The blooms, the PERFECT weather, the light and bright design elements… it was so fun to see this day come together just as Lauren + Matthew had dreamed.

POV: walking into forever as an officially *married* couple ✨ If you’ve been to a Bubbly wedding (or really any wedding within the past 5 years), you might have been part of a sparkler exit! It’s such a magical way to end the day, but it definitely takes coordination and a stern (but friendly!) person in charge so your guests don’t set each other (or you, or the venue, or nature 😂) on fire. We have a very descriptive process, so you can sail just as smoothly out of the night as you entered the day. And yes, the photos are totally worth it ✨ Venue: Wrightsville Manor Photography: hunterleighphotography Floral design: Designs by Dillon Dress: Bellissima Hair & makeup: @carlsdoesmyhair @the_maddcalloway @taylorab53 Rentals: Party Suppliers & Rentals White Birch Rentals

The sweetest // dreamiest day with this little fam 🖤 Alex + Kortneys’ day was the perfect mix of southern, bohemian and classic. And their little guy kept things lighthearted throughout the whole day (peep him sitting on mom’s train during the ceremony 😂🥰). We were so honored to be part of your big day!!

Many of my clients tell me they’re nervous that their first dance is going to be “awkward” - maybe they’re not used to being in the spotlight or dancing isn’t their strong suit 🕺🏻 No matter what, your first dance is going to be special, because it’s the first you’ll share as a married couple! Here are a few things I recommend to calm the jitters and knock your first dance out of the park: ✨ Pick a song y’all genuinely love! Maybe it’s a different version of an original, maybe it’s not a “traditional” first dance song, maybe it’s not slow… that’s all OK! If you’re having a good time, your guests will too. ✨You don’t have to dance to the whole song. I would say 2 minutes is just right! ✨ Do your first dance before dinner- this way you can check it off your agenda and start to relax. Maybe even change shoes! 🙌🏼 What was your first dance song? Help our couples out and top them in the comments!

*core memories activated* 😍🥹 At the end of each wedding, I send my couples all the photos and videos that my team and I capture throughout the day 🤍 The day goes by in a flash, and when you wake up you’ll want to relive it all again and again! Many photographers will deliver “sneak peeks” within a couple days with your professional photos, but having some BTS content is something I hold very near and dear and I know my clients will too!!
