Destination weddings & elopements - let’s talk about ‘em!

We’ve been part of dozens and dozens of wedding days, have helped people tie the knot in Hawaii, Ireland, Mexico, and New Zealand, and even Patagonia.

As I professional wedding planner, AND luxury travel advisor – helping humans tie the knot make my world go round. But before you jump in, there are many details to consider.

Let’s dive in with some pro tips.✈️⬇️

Timing is everything.📆

Be sure to consider the weather at the time of your ideal wedding dates! You don’t want the beach to be overran with seaweed, or have to cancel because you didn’t realize it was hurricane season in Mexico.

Keep in mind that peak season, or summer in Italy, for example, is going to be the most expensive time to visit. Consider shoulder season to keep costs reasonable for you and your guests.

Villa or Resort? 🏘️

If you’re keeping the guest list to immediate family, or you prefer to keep everyone under one roof - consider a villa! From hired chef services, to a private concierge and cleaning team, a villa may be the perfect fit for you and your guests. It’s even possible to curate special cocktail hours and events right on property with your wedding and design team. If you prefer an all-inclusive approach, or have a larger guest list with people who prefer to have an endless list of activities to do, a resort may the best bet. Often times, this decision comes down to which location(s) you are considering, and we’d be happy to talk you through this and make recommendations.

When to Send Save the Dates💌

From booking flights, requesting PTO, and saving up, your guests need to know well in advance what your wedding and travel dates will be. As your dedicated travel advisor, we’ll keep you informed when save the dates need to be sent out, what information should be included, and we can even create a custom questionnaire to gives guests an idea of room costs, and get their room request to help in your preliminary research.

That’s just the start - check out more tips at the link in our bio 🥂

Exciting news!

I'm officially booked for 2025 weddings, but you're still in luck as our team is GROWING!

Meet Emma - a previous bride of mine, who is just a GEM. I could tell she would be an incredible planner during our planning journey together (and she brought checklists and bin labels to me at rehearsal, making me one proud wedding fairy godmother)

Anywho, Emma is a teacher and is so excited to take on a few summer weddings☀️ You might see her around, shadowing me at upcoming celebrations as she learns the ropes and quickly becomes a pro.

Looking to be a guest at your own wedding? Emma is your girl for month-of coordination!

While we aren’t decorators, we sure do love the concept of design within weddings & events! 🌸

Some unique ways we can add value:

💫 Design Packages for weddings: I’m able to help make your rental & design selections, as well as a packing list if you plan to do set up and/or tear down yourself.

🌷Glamping & Small Events. From bridal showers to a backyard soirée with a tasting menu & firepit, let’s make a custom event together.

📝If you’re looking for help on the logistical side of your wedding, that’s where we shine. From contacting all vendors so you don’t have to, to running your rehearsal, to coordinating your ceremony, we host your day so you don’t have to.

Tip Thursday // Get Creative to cut costs.

I get it - staying in budget is HARD, especially in today’s climate. Vendors work hard, and deserve what they charge.

BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative.

Perhaps you have a ceremony backdrop in mind - why don’t you move it behind your head table after? Just consider the distance, and who’s going to do this. (Or hire us!)

Perhaps you move your ceremony aisle floral to the base of your head table.

Don’t forget to have bouquets vases in place on your head table, to place after the ceremony for extra pizzazz. Pro-tip: these are placed across the entirety of the head table, NOT just in front of the ladies.

Talk with your decorator & florist (&planner) about what is possible 🌼

Happy planning!

// Mistakes to avoid when planning your wedding //

💰 Not outlining your budget FIRST. Don’t rush into hiring a photographer and venue without first doing your research on what wedding cost. Outlining your guest list and budget is the first step, or you could end up in a world of hurt once you realize how much things add up.

📝 Inviting too many people - if you wouldn’t invite them to a dinner party, why are they invited to such an intimate celebration of your love? The guest list is the easiest way to decrease budget, so it’s okay to remember this isn’t a family reunion.

📢 Not communicating to important family members, especially moms and bridal party members. While this is indeed YOUR wedding, this is a big and exciting moment for others as well. Try to keep loved ones in the loop with little details so they feel involved. Or maybe hand over little tasks you don’t feel you have to do, such as welcome baskets or favors.

👰🏼Inviting too many people to your dress shopping appointments - don’t let there be too many cooks in the kitchen! You know yourself best, but often too many opinions can lead to more stress and decision fatigue.

💲Spending money on items that make no impact. We suggest to prioritize spending on items that elevate guests experience. Ie: paying for a shuttle as to avoid guests drinking and driving - that makes a difference! Paying for a sign that says “bar” when the bar is clearly there - that doesn’t make a difference. Don’t waste your resources.

📄Signing a contract without reading or understanding it.

💍Not spending enough time on your wedding ceremony - this is the heart of your wedding, my friends! Don’t just rush off to the next thing; it’s the reason you’re bringing all these humans together.

🥂Not hiring an independent wedding coordinator - having a venue coordinator is great, yes! It’s so wise to invest in having a human advocate solely for YOU, not just your venue. You and your loved ones deserve to be guests, and not just hosts on your wedding day.

Exciting announcement! ✨Our team is growing! Meet Belle, our new associate wedding planner💍👩🏼‍🏫

“

My name is Belle, I am North Dakota raised and grew up here in Bismarck. I credit myself as a bit of a Bismarck local, meaning my memories growing up consists of cruising main street with a big boy pizza burger in hand, attending the few Wizards basketball games back in the day, and sitting at the shoe department at Herberger’s on a Saturday! I love Bismarck and the people in it and all it has to offer.

I grew up with a VERY large family and have been witness to many milestones for individuals in their lifetime. Weddings, grad parties, birthdays, baby showers! Being included in special moments overflows my passion cup. No better feeling than that shared excitement over celebrating loved ones.

On my personal time I like to spend it reading, shopping, being outside, or gracing my husband with my sense of humor and spending time with my three beautiful daughters! A phrase I live by is “Whatever you do in life, bring Joy with you.”

“

So excited to see the marvelous things you do, Belle!

Tip Tuesday //

Make sure you have a wedding planning checklist! This will help make sure you’re sitting in a good place each month, and will help to spread out tasks.

Another tip? Have a “wedding planning Wednesday” with your fiancé, where you hash out some weekly tasks and make it fun!
