HARD WORK PAYS OFF & WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED
If you would’ve told us a year ago that we’d be landing some of our absolute dream clients this month, we probably wouldn’t have believed you. But here we are—living it, loving it, and feeling so dang grateful for the journey that got us here.
Our CEO, Katlyn, worked her butt off to set the foundation for where we are now. Here’s what she did to make it happen (and how we’re using this momentum to land even MORE dream clients!):
Built a powerhouse team – Surrounding herself with the most incredible women who not only support her vision but also pour their hearts into making magic happen for our couples. Every single person on our team is dedicated to making sure our clients feel seen, heard, and stress-free.
Invested in a Business Coach – No more spinning wheels on tasks that weren’t moving the needle. Katlyn got laser-focused on what actually makes an impact—helping us grow while staying profitable and giving our clients the absolute BEST experience. @brandeegaar is literally the BEST!!
Made Meaningful Industry Connections – The power of community is REAL. Through @awphouston , @wipahouston and beyond, Katlyn built relationships with the most incredible vendors who truly want to see us win and vice versa!
Rebranded to Align with Our Dream Clients – Our branding finally feels like us—like the experience we give our couples and the energy we bring to every single wedding day. And that alignment? It’s attracting exactly the couples we’re meant to serve.
They say it takes a village to raise a child, but let’s be real—it takes a damn good village to grow a business, too. And we’re so beyond grateful for every single person who has been part of our journey.
So here’s to the dream clients who have already booked and the ones we haven’t even met yet—we’re beyond ready for you!
If you’re planning your wedding and want a team that’s fully invested in making it the mo
When Pinterest Meets Reality!
Our sweet bride came to us with the most stunning floral installation she found on Pinterest, and of course, our first thought was, “Everything is figure-out-able,” right? Well… sometimes Pinterest dreams meet real-world logistics, and we have to pivot.
Here’s why we had to hit the brakes on her dreamy installation:
1️⃣ The ceiling of her gorgeous historic venue was too high for any realistic install.
2️⃣ The venue’s structure, while totally sound, is historic—and we were not about to risk damaging it or being held liable.️
3️⃣ And, the cherry on top: the budget wasn’t quite there to make it happen in a way that delivered the impact she wanted.
BUT! We didn’t just say, “Nope, sorry.” We pivoted! Instead of stressing, we looked at what truly mattered to them: ensuring her guests had an AMAZING time with delicious food! So we swapped out the installation for a super fun churro cart that was a total hit!

STOP what you're doing and save this reel!
When you're touring venues, it’s ALL about asking the right questions. Every venue is so unique—not just in style but in their rules too! From catering requirements to what all is included to what time you can party until!
AND let’s not foget the fine print... Always (like, ALWAYS) read your contract before signing anything. The last thing you want is a surprise rule popping up 6 months before the wedding that makes it so you either have to pivot your vision or pay extra!
Feeling overwhelmed already? We get it. That’s why we offer a Venue Selection Service to take the stress off your plate. 🙌 We know that finding the perfect spot is one of the hardest parts of wedding planning (hello decision fatigue).
But if you feel like you are SO close to making a decison on your dream venue message us VENUE and we’ll send you our Venue Comparison Spreadsheet to help you find the BEST space for your dream day!

You can obsess over the exact shade of ivory for the linens, debate the perfect font for your signage, or stress about whether the napkins are folded in a triangle or a square. And hey, we get it—those little details are what make your day feel uniquely you. But here’s the thing: when the music fades, the flowers wilt, and the cake has all been eaten (not because we took it all home and didn't leave you any.... we would NEVER do that), the most important part of your wedding day won’t be the details—it’ll be the start of your marriage.
Your wedding day is a celebration of your love story, not a production for Pinterest. The laughter during your vows, the tears from your mom when she sees you in your dress, the way your partner looks at you as you walk down the aisle—those are the moments that will last a lifetime. So yes, we’ll obsess over the little things with you because that’s what we do, but we’ll also be there to give you time for what truly matters: preparing for marriage with your best friend.

CUT THEM FROM THE LIST
Let’s face it, creating your wedding guest list can feel impossible— espicially because we know most of you are just so popular! But ask yourself:
- Would you want to take them out to a nice dinner?
- Would you actually want to talk to them for more than 5 minutes on your wedding day?
- If they didn’t invite you to their wedding, would you mind?
If the answer is no to any of these... it’s time to CUT THEM from the list!
We get it—sometimes family pressure or the promise of extra gifts can make it tempting to invite your parents’ friends, co-workers or distant cousins you see once a year but remember, this is your day. If you don’t genuinely want someone there, they don’t have to be.
Need a little extra help? DM us and we’ll send you a handy spreadsheet to rank your guest list and find those you can do without. Let’s make sure your big day is filled with people who truly matter!

What a Year It’s Been!
From solo entrepreneur to leading an incredible team, 2024 has been nothing short of transformative. 🙌 It’s wild to think about how far we’ve come—from dreaming big to executing even bigger. 💫
This year, we’ve had the honor of being part of stunning weddings, creative shoots, and unforgettable events that reminded us why we do what we do. ❤️ The growth, the laughs, the late nights, and the magic moments—it’s been a journey we wouldn’t trade for anything.

"So... when’s the wedding?"
You know everyone’s going to ask the second he gets down on one knee, but here’s the thing: take a beat, babe. Enjoy that fiancé glow! Hit up ALL the restaurants and casually drop “We just got engaged” like it’s your new job title—because it kinda is. 😉 Get that free dessert, that VIP treatment, live in THIS moment!
This time period as a fiance is so short, so soak it all in. Planning your wedding can wait. But when you’re ready, just know—we’re SO ready too!
Drop a “YES!” in the comments if you're living that fiancé era right now (or dreaming of it)! Or tag your newly engaged bestie so they can milk it too!
You know you’re in the right job when you’re crouched under a cloud of tulle in the bridal suite, wrestling with the MOST complicated bustle known to mankind—and the matron of honor says, “I wish I had a Katlyn on my wedding day.” BRB, just crying a little.
By the time we got to that well-earned slice of double chocolate cake at the end of the night, we couldn’t stop smiling knowing we’d made the day easier, smoother, and stress-free for our bride (and her momma that were there to support her through all of it all of course).
Wedding days aren’t just about the big moments—they’re about the little ones too, like the look of relief when someone’s got your back for those unexpected curveballs.
So, tell me—what’s the one thing you’re most nervous about on your wedding day? Let’s talk it out in the comments!
