Looking for some inspiration for your “something old?” We love this classic retro cake topper Whitney & Forrest found for their wedding cake. *bonus points if it was used by someone in your family on their wedding day and could also count for your “something borrowed.”

This means you’ll have one less vendor to coordinate with + you get the added bonus of your wedding planner already knowing your venue. This means we can give you added advice on what looks great in the space, what to put your floral budget towards and even ways to cut some costs on flowers.

Let’s talk monograms — incorporating initials into your wedding design has been around for forever, but one thing that we’ve been seeing more and more of is a custom crest. This more “traditional” take is such a beautiful way to literally make your mark as a new family, plus if you decide to embroider it on napkins or glassware, you can use it in your home for years to come!

To first look or not with your future spouse is always the question, but one first look you shouldn’t question is the one with your girls. This became such a trend last year, and it’s never going out of style in our books.

One of our #1 tips for saving some $$ in your budget is by reusing florals — when designing your ceremony and reception, we are not only creating spaces that are cohesive, but also how we can breathe new life into floral installations in just a matter of minutes.

The transition from ceremony to reception this grounded arch had
was so beautiful and we loved the wild, billowing effect it created for the head table.

Your wedding day has most likely been something you’ve dreamt about for years, and a large portion of making your dream wedding day vision come to life is having a trusty team of vendors you can rely on. However, for most brides, that can seem easier said than done. Here are 3 tips on how to pick the right vendor team for your wedding:

1. Choose Professional Vendors
2. Choose Vendors You Trust
3. Read Reviews ( take the time to read what past couples say about their experience)

Picking the right vendor team for your wedding is a big decision that you should take with much consideration. With the right vendor team, you’ll be stress-free on your wedding day and have the wedding vision of your dreams. Happy wedding planning!

“Brittanie and her team were hands down AMAZING!

Couldn’t be more thankful for their time and efforts spent on my day. I did the majority of my planning so selected the package with her being more of a month out coordinator. My only regret was I didn’t use her even longer & for the entire time! Even as a bride who enjoyed the majority of the planning up front, I would highly recommend spending the extra money to have this team with you sooner!

My wedding was more like a destination wedding, even though it was in a very familiar place to my husband and I, it was almost 3 hours from our home. Brittanie herself was very flexible, kind, up front, honest, encouraging, and overall just a fantastic person through this entire experience. Always answering my questions, always going above and beyond, and always helping me keep my vision and head on straight.

If I could give the BRE team 50 stars I would!”

With blue being the most popular wedding color year after year, it comes with no surprise that the 2024 Wedding Color of the Year is the stunning Marseille Bleu. This bold blue hue is the perfect way to bring a fresh twist on a color palette classic — looking for some inspiration on how to incorporate a pop of color into your design? Here are a few of our favorite ways:

1. Your Wedding Suite
2. Your Florals
3. Your Wedding Attire & Accessories
4. Your Wedding Party
5. In the little Details (linens, favors, decor)

While we love planning for a big - blow out celebration, we understand that a lot of people are looking for a more intimate gathering. If that sounds more your vibe, consider hosting your reception at a restaurant rather than a venue like The Grays. Their evening reception at one of our favorite downtown Wilmington restaurants was so much fun to design (hello candles galore) and turned out so dreamy.

Happy New Years Eve! We are celebrating the last day of the year our favorite way, with a wedding (and champagne of course)! This year has been nothing short of an adventure, and with 60+ weddings already on the books for 2024, we can only imagine the fun that lays ahead.

Cheers to the New Year! 🥂

One last beach wedding to close out the year.

Having 80% of our couples coming from out of town means that having a beach or waterfront wedding is in high demand for our team. But with views like this we are definitely not complaining — and while each one pushes our creative brains & boundaries, we love those moments when we get to design a perfect compliment to the nature that surrounds.

It’s always so fun when we get to be onsite with our couples, as we begin the wedding planning process with them. With booking your wedding venue being the most important part of the wedding planning process, a wedding site visit is usually the first thing we do with our couples. It’s an opportunity for our team and possible key vendors (rentals, florals, lighting) to begin fine-tuning the details of the day and usually talk about logistics and flow of the wedding day.

What other questions do you have about our wedding planning process?

We hope to continue to say goodbye to stuffy and stiff portraits in 2024 — we saw candid photos make a comeback this year, and we are here for it! Having a photographer be able to organically shoot your day allows you to be in the moment, and you’ll get photos that actually feel like you.

“If you are on the fence about a planner, don’t be and hire BRE!

From the start of the wedding weekend, I was so calm and stress-free because I knew Kinsey and the team had everything under control. The florals were absolutely stunning and the reception was exactly how I imagined it! I only have preview photos at the moment but I wish I had more to show how incredible and beautiful the space was!

Thank you to Kinsey and the entire BRE team for making our day so special and one we will never forget!” - Kendall & Keith
