It’s rehearsal day for Jess and Billy 🤍 October weddings are almost here and I can’t wait to share them with you!

Long post ahead! I promised big news, and now that some loose ends have been tied up, it’s time to fill you in! If you’ve worked with me (and maybe even if you haven’t) you know I started wedding planning after my own wedding in August 2020 and since then I’ve had the pleasure of working with some awesome couples. It’s been hard to juggle running my little business because I’ve worked full time in retail since my days at BSU. My husband and I welcomed our son in May and I took the summer off from both my full time job at AE and from wedding planning, with the exception of one of my closest friend’s weddings (until this weekend when weddings start full swing again!) and I’ve decided I won’t be returning to my full time position at AE. While this was a difficult decision because I truly have loved my job, it gives me the flexibility to spend more time with my son and focus more on my business and meeting with clients. I’m excited to step into wedding planning full time and take on this new adventure! That being said, I’m offering a discount to celebrate! Any 2023 weddings booked during the month of October will receive a 20% discount off of my Full Service Package and 15% off of my Day of Coordination Package! Message me for more info! I can’t wait to start planning with you (full time 😉)!

Happy anniversary to Amanda and Patrick and their gorgeous backyard wedding 🤩

It’s been a week since Bailey and Kam’s wedding and I haven’t stopped thinking about it (I mean, how could I? Just LOOK at them 🤤) I have some really exciting news to share in the next couple weeks, so be on the lookout! And if you (or your friends) have any wedding planning to do, send them my way!
•

Long time, no post. Today I’m starting my 2022 wedding season on double duty - bridesmaid meets wedding planner - for one of my dearest friends. I cannot wait to share more of Kamryn and Bailey’s best day ever (and the rest of this season) with you!

Long time, no post (I’m sorry!)

Hi, friends. I’ve been MIA for a while because I’ve been trying to decide where my next wedding season is headed. In September (the DAY after I was on my feet all day and lifting heavy tables and jumping off ladders at a wedding 🙃) my husband and I found out we’re expecting a little boy in May! That being said, I’ve been unsure of what this means for my 2022 wedding season and what I’m going to be capable of while preparing for and adjusting to life with a tiny person. I have gotten a lot of inquiries about my availability in the last couple of weeks and have decided I will be taking the months of May and June off and I will be beginning my wedding season in July. My first available 2022 date will be July 2nd and I will continue scheduling weddings every weekend after that. I have decided to keep my pricing the same as my 2021 season due to my lack of availability and the amount of couples I’ve had to turn away (a lot of you are getting married in the early summer!) If you or someone you know is looking to book a wedding planner or day of coordinator for a July, August, September, or October wedding message me ASAP! Even though I’ll be taking the spring and early summer off from weddings I will still be booking consultations and meetings during that time. I appreciate you all being patient with me while I’ve been trying to decide what the best plan will be for my family. I look forward to getting a few weddings on my calendar and meeting with you soon! 💗

Making sure Owen looked his best before saying I do 🌼

What does your wedding day look like with me? I’m on standby all day to do exactly what you need from me at all times! I usually start my morning by decorating any outdoor ceremony spaces (we don’t want to set those up the night before!), finishing any details in any indoor reception areas, ensuring all of your vendors arrive on time and have everything set up that they need, and making sure brides and grooms are detailed to perfection and feeling good all day!

A ceremony site almost as beautiful as the ceremony itself 🤩

Taylor and Owen tied the knot last month and I’m honored they asked me to help them plan their big day! A Sunday afternoon wedding meant we only had a few hours before the ceremony to decorate, but we pulled it off! Thank you for letting me be part of your day, Mr. and Mrs. Deweese!

Let’s talk bridesmaids 🤩
•
Bridesmaid dress shopping is one of the MOST FUN wedding experiences! Even if you can’t get all your girls together at once, it’s super exciting to take a day and help your bridesmaids find their dresses. And letting your bridesmaids choose their own styles is a great way to let their personalities shine through (and more importantly, make sure everyone is comfortable in what they’re wearing)! Some tips to remember if you aren’t going to have all of your bridesmaids in the same dress are to choose ONE fabric and color (or a few shades of the same color). If you don’t set some boundaries, it could get busy and messy. What are you thinking for bridesmaids?
•
Don’t forget to message me ASAP to secure your 2021 date AND 75% off! This deal is ending very soon as contracts will be written and signed prior to December in order to secure 75% off packages. Don’t wait, my schedule is filling up!

I just love having these three in front of my camera. Feelin really lucky that I’ve gotten to capture Storm’s last three sets of birthday photos. 💜 It’s so fun to watch his personality develop, but less fun to watch him get bigger and bigger.... 😭😭

Stunning florals all around 💐
•
The boho hoop wreath, the gold centerpieces, and the hanging terrariums are all part of my decor collection that you get access to when planning your wedding! And we can personalize all of them with your choice of flowers and greenery! Flowers can make or break a wedding, but that doesn’t mean they need to break your budget! I was able to make all of my own floral arrangements for less than 30% of what a florist quoted me, and I was able to do more of arrangements than I originally planned on. I would be more than happy to make your floral arrangements, too, and after your wedding, I’ll buy them back from you if you don’t need them!

I’m so excited to have the opportunity to work 2021 weddings with Sidny! Bring on ALL the brides!

Why is Abby McGinnis Wedding Planning the right fit for your wedding?

"I got married in August of 2020. I had been planning since August 2019, I had my dream venue booked, I got a great deal on a caterer, and I found the dress that was made for me all before the end of 2019. I could finish everything else in the 8 months leading up to the wedding, right? Then 2020 happened. Bridesmaids dresses couldn’t be ordered, the queso fountain wasn’t sanitary enough, guests weren’t comfortable being around each other, and worst of all, we didn’t know if our wedding would even be able to happen. And we didn’t get the go ahead until nine days before our wedding. I figure, if I can plan a COVID wedding, I can plan any wedding. I felt helpless in the weeks leading up to my wedding and I don’t want any bride to feel that way (whether it’s from a pandemic or from the incorrect color table cloth). I want to help make sure your wedding is your perfect, stress free wedding you dreamed it would be!"

Don't forget! Any couples that book their 2021 with both of us will receive a FREE engagement session! 💜📸🥂

Another piece of my collection that you’ll gain full access to when planning a wedding with me ✨
•
Little details like this MAKE a wedding, and it gets expensive. I don’t want my brides to have to spend thousands of dollars on decor they only need for one day, so I allow couples to go through my collection of wedding decor I’ve accumulated from my own wedding and from other brides who have been kind enough to give or sell some of the things they don’t need anymore (like this sweet sign from a sweet friend 💕). We’ll go through a catalog of all of my decor and we’ll make sure you have everything you want to make your day exactly how you pictured it! Make sure to message me ASAP for pricing and to book your 2021 pricing because my 75% off discount won’t be around long and neither will available wedding dates!

Table details ✨
•
In addition to elegant centerpieces and perfect place settings, placing favors and activities is a great way to keep your guests entertained during a cocktail hour! We gave each table an envelope with the anniversary that corresponded with their table number and asked them to write us a letter, and each year we get to open a letter on our anniversary. This is a great way to incorporate your wedding into your marriage and it keeps everyone entertained between the ceremony and reception!
