Happy International Women's Day!! ✨

I often think how amazing it is to have the support and encouragement of the women in my life. As a woman owned business it's instrumental to have other women whom you can turn to for support, as a sounding board, or even to offer words of encouragement when it's needed. I love seeing other women succeed because it's a win for us all!

Details ✨

Behind the scenes of a wedding are a lot of different moving parts working together to bring the wedding to life.

It’s definitely a team effort, and communication is key! Sometimes plans change and decisions need to be made on the spot, but I love every minute of it!

A coordinator wears many different hats on wedding day so that the couple doesn’t have to think or worry about anything. Have you ever wondered exactly what a coordinator’s job is the day of, or what the value in having a coordinator is? Comment below, and I would love to fill you in 🧡💛

Let’s talk about signage ✨

One of my favorite things to look for at weddings are signage. It’s a great way for couples to showcase their style and welcome guests into the space. The best part is that there are so many ways to include signage into your day that serves different purposes. Whether it’s simple or more detailed is up to the couple.

Signage can be used for the gifts/cards table, an unplugged ceremony, info. with the couples personalized hashtag so you can tag them to share photos, memory table signage, photo booth and many more! 🪧🤎

This guest book idea by .co is my absolute favorite! ✨

This is such a unique way for guests to leave their messages to the couple! The best part—messages are transformed into a keepsake for the couple to listen to and keep forever 🧡🤍

I thinks it’s such a sweet sentiment to honor the loved ones who’ve passed away on your wedding
day ✨
There are so many unique ways to include them into your day. Some of the ways I’ve seen through the years are with signs, flowers, a memory table, locket pinned to the bridal bouquet etc.

One of the things we take care of for you is making sure these sweet details are taken care of so you don’t have to worry ♥️

“How many in your bridal party?” is a question I always ask my couples during the initial planning meeting. Not because I have a preference but because it is important to know when creating the timeline. The more members in your bridal party and the more time that needs to be allotted for getting ready, pictures etc.

Through the years I’ve coordinated/planned weddings with both large and small bridal parties, and even some without a bridal party (especially during the pandemic).

Regardless of the size of your bridal party, the most important thing is to choose the people who on your day will have your back, will bring you peace, and maybe even those who know how to get the party started!

The first dance is one of many firsts you will experience as a married couple. What a sweet gesture to start off your marriage journey in the arms of the one you love! 🧡💛

Whether it be a choreographed dance routine or just following along to the rhythm of your chosen song, your guests will be a witness to your love ✨

Married couples: what was your first dance song?

Engaged couples: what song do you plan on dancing to for your first dance?

Cheers to the weekend!! ✨

I’m starting off my weekend with a visit to the pumpkin patch with my kiddos 🎃This month has flown by and we are just getting to our Fall traditions. As the saying goes… “Better late than never” 🤷🏽‍♀️

What are you most excited for this weekend?

It’s the start of a brand new week and I’m so ready! ✨

Last week was a tough one for me with many bumps in the road, but it’s a new week and I’m looking forward to a productive week ahead 💻

What do you do to prepare mentally for a new week?

Let’s talk about wedding formalities…
Cake cutting, parent dances, speeches, bouquet toss, and garter toss are some of the ones seen most frequently at a wedding. The two that seem to be fading away from most weddings in recent years are the bouquet and garter toss. Some couples opt to do just the bouquet toss and others choose to keep both out all together. It’s a personal preference and there is no right or wrong when deciding which formalities to include in your special day.

What formalities at a wedding are your favorite to witness?

Although this California heat is telling me otherwise, it’s officially the first day of Fall 🍂

Pumpkin infused drinks and treats have hit the shelves, and the holidays are slowly approaching. Before we know it, we will be ringing in a brand new year! Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let’s just enjoy the moment ☺️ Who’s ready for fall?!

Hello September!! 🍂

This month for me will be filled with venue visits, design boards, budget planning, and of course WEDDINGS!! I’m so excited for all of it, and some cooler weather of course 😉

It’s almost September and we are so excited for the back to back weddings we have coming up this month!! With that being said, to all my newly engaged couples, now is the time to secure your wedding venue (if you haven’t already done so).

Schedule a tour, get pricing, and set a timeframe to make a final decision. Need help? Contact us now and we can guide you every step of the way ✨

One of my favorite things about my job are client calls. Talking to new potential clients about their love story, wedding goals, and how I can help bring their vision to life is always so exciting!

For all the couples who are at the point of searching for your vendors, do your research before making a final decision. It’s so important that you are able to communicate your ideas and expectations, and actually enjoy chatting with the vendors you are working with. It may seem like common sense but you want vendors who you “click” with, not ones that you feel forced or uneasy about speaking to. It’s like finding the perfect venue or wedding dress, when you know you know. Follow your gut feeling. If it isn’t the right fit, let them know you’ve decided to go a different route. Please don’t just disappear, nobody likes being “ghosted”. As vendors we will understand, we want you to find your ideal match!

I feel like the holiday season is slowly approaching and I’m actually excited for a little relief from the intense heat we’ve been having lately 🥵. I am however trying to soak up as much of this summer as I can before it’s gone ☀️

Are you patiently waiting for the season to change, or dreading the end to all these summer vibes?

02/08/2021

This Monday has been on slow motion for me. Today I’m catching up on emails and organizing my new office space, but what I would really like is a nap 😴

I’m also reminded that I need to add some new tunes to my playlist. What music helps you get through those lazy days? ✨

23/07/2021

Happy Friday ✨

With all that is going on in the world, our communities, and our own personal lives, let’s remember to take a minute and give ourselves some grace and compassion. Take it one day, one hour, or even one minute at a time if needed 🤍💚

I hope you all had a great week and an even better weekend ahead!

Can you believe we are already at the end of June, and half way through 2021?! 📆

Take that vacation you’ve been putting off. Take a break from your work to do something for yourself or someone else. Try something new, or do something you haven’t in awhile. The time is now, you won’t regret it! ✨
