Why don’t more people get married in February? Like Valentine’s specifically??

Is it too cliche? Because I feel like more people would need to do it for it to be considered cliche. Right?? Idk.

Here’s me saying I’m am unapologetically into celebrating L O V E and really need y’all to gift me w/ a wedding oozing with all the cupidness you can muster! 💘

Putting it out into the universe.

It’s Friday and it’s the last day of our endless January!!

And because I was sick with the Nora virus on NYE I’ll be ringing in 2025 today & tonight at midnight. 🥂🎩

for 2025
ROUND 2!! 😅🤞🏻

Hi, I’m Sara. Otherwise known to my godsons as TT.

I just celebrated a decade of wedding planning last year! So cheers to #2025 & year 11.. .. which is also the number my mom chooses to send from the ✨. Yes, I believe my mom sends numbers from the “other side” when she needs me to pay attention. 😇🪽

If your MoB or MoG has a request for the big day (within reason of course) I’m going to do what I can to make it happen. We gotta love the mamas while we have them!

I L O V E the rain. Love it, love it, L O V E it. Not the flooding / hurricane that makes you need a Plan A, B AND C type but the pings off the metal roof of our pergola, sleeps like a bèbè, crockpot meal type that’s going to wash away the ick that has been January.

I met a new friend recently and he/ze introduced me to & asked me to practice new pronouns which then led me to a fascinating world of more new to me pronouns.

One of my new goals for 2025 is to not only learn more of these but to meet the faces who prefer them so I can use them all!! 🏳️‍🌈

Cheers to kicking off 2025, again! To washing away the old and bringing in a fresh & new start! And to pushing ourselves to be better humans to each other. 🥂

To the couples sending inquiries through “wedding planning” websites,

Congratulations on your engagement, we’re so happy for you and would absolutely LOVE to hear more about your big day and potentially be your new besties..
. BUT we’re not going to pay for it just to get ghosted.

If you’ve been ignored by us on these sites, it’s not you, it’s us. Love you, mean it, but no thank you.

Friendors, are you paying for these?? 🧐

The unseriousness of a petting zoo at cocktail hour is quintessential Faded Poppy. 🐄

It’s why we’re more than excited about not 1 but 3 game night weddings this year!! 🃏🎲🎳

Whatever the vibe is just be sure you have fun!! Don’t leave your wedding feeling like you just left a 12 hr shift.

Everybody’s favorite and most sought after bloom, the peony.. .. until the quote arrives.

This small bunch is going to start at $100. Yes, you read that right. They are priced for the season and demand.

I’m not downing this beloved stem, it’s a favorite in my house too. I’m just saying if you’re on a budget look into alternatives and maybe consider the following;

- say I do in May, it’s peony season here in VA and we have a plethora of local farms ready to bundle their babes up and send them your way.
- use them in bouquets but skip including them in your arbor, opt for a less expensive bloom there like a blush rose or cremon mum.
- get a 2nd job and a sugar daddy!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Can you believe our godsons had several peony bushes in their front yard that they practiced their bat swings on every spring. 🧢⚾️😱😂

Hello from your truth telling bestie. 🙃
, what should you expect?

Let’s start with when you go out to a local eatery, you should expect on average, $25-$50 per person (including a beer or 2). So.. what would a realistic number be for a & catering company who essentially comes in and creates an entire restaurant in a matter of hours and breaks it all down again just a few hours later.. while cooking & serving all of your and .

I’m here to prepare you bestie, you’re going to be starting in the $75.+ region and climbing quickly based on rentals, food (often locally sourced) costs, signature drinks, staffing etc.

Your catering bill can very easily start at 35%+ of your budget and rightfully so. You and your are in communication with them for months creating a personalized , and flow of . They are bringing in linens, tableware, food, an entire bar and in some cases an entire kitchen.

Your catering team is worth their weight in gold + GRATUITY!! We LOVE our catering besties and will happily pair you with the one that most suits the vibe.

Today’s the day, our last wedding of 2024 and it’s gonna be a W I L D one for certain!

the Telford’s & Reeve’s like to have fun.. which for a Faded Poppy wedding “tracks”. OF course we take our job & the logistics of these things seriously, the layouts, timelines, etc. but also. .

A that shall not be named once said to me “that would never happen at a _____ ”.. ok.. well.. we ain’t you babe! (.mcwilly we might have been talking about your wedding!! 😂😅 and the “table incident”)

You’re doing this thing once, stop getting bogged down with the seriousness of it all and put on the mustaches!!
