Wishing co-founder & lead planner, Sarah Willis (and her hubby!), a very happy anniversary!

A herself, Sarah dealt with multiple cancellations, downsizing, and rescheduling. While her day was not what she originally planned, it was full of beauty, elegance, and love, and the experience was invaluable when helping and coaching her own clients through the difficulties of planning a wedding during this season!

Leave your best wishes for Sarah in the comments below ✨

We would not be mad if every wedding had a cookie table. A tradition in some parts of the United States, cookie tables are traditionally provided by relatives of the bride & grooms families, with grandmothers, aunts, and extended family baking dozens of delectable sweets for the couple's big day.

How fun is this National Parks theme? We love this table setting from a wedding we did last August--so much fun! And yes, the tables were laid out geographically, with the western-most parks in the western-most part of the reception hall, and so-on and so-forth. We spare no detail.

Having a second photographer present on your wedding day is a huge help. It gives you opportunities--like having getting-ready-photos of BOTH bride and groom--that otherwise wouldn't be possible. Ask what packages your photographer offers, and see if hiring a second shooter for the day is a possibility. You'll love the extra photos.

Well, 2021 is here, and wedding planning is still just as difficult as it was 9 months ago! With uncertainty on the horizon, and a glimmer of hope in the future, you might be wondering--just how do you plan a wedding in 2021? While many newly engaged couples are opting for...

If you could only invite 10 people to your wedding, who would you choose?

That's basically what , and Willis Wedding Coordination co-founder, Sarah Willis had to do last May, whittling down a 350-person guest list to just a handful of immediate family members and friends.

When we say we've been there, done that, we really have. Wedding planning can be unpredictable--especially now--and if you're a brand new bride-to-be (congratulations!), it can seem especially daunting. With our recent & personal experiences, we lend a unique, caring, and contemporary perspective on all that goes into planning and preparing for your big day.

Don't let the stress of planning dampen the magic of your upcoming wedding. We know that wedding planning can be stressful (hands up, !) -- we planned our own weddings, and the hours of work and emails and contracts can be overwhelming. That's why we walk with our couples through the whole process, and take on the things that you would rather not deal with! You should enjoy your wedding day ✨ In fact, we want you to enjoy the entire planning process. Let's plan a party! >> bit.ly/2W9eh0K

Should we add floral arrangement to our list of skills? Look at this beautiful arrangement made by lead planner Sarah Willis!

As DIY brides ourselves, we know a thing or two about learning new skills quickly. We also know the importance of hiring experienced and talented vendors in order for the day to run smoothly--and that especially goes for wedding coordinators, photographers, caterers, and florists. Let's put together your dream vendor team! >> bit.ly/2W9eh0K
