Wishing a happy and healthy new year from Violet Weddings to all of the wedding community. ⁣

I’ve been quiet the past few months spending quality time with my family and seeing out 2020 with some peace. Speaking of which thanks to Lindsay Adrian Photography for capturing just that. ⁣

Now I am back and ready to get moving on 2021 weddings. If you need help coordinating your big day reach out for a no cost, no obligation consultation.
⁣
Here’s to a 2021 full of stunning moments. ⁣

How lush is this bridal suite at The Highlands, LLC: Custom Event Space? It’s such an important space to decompress, steal away for a moment or just for a quick hair and makeup touch up. It’s also a great place to offer any nursing guests or bridesmaids

Jennie could complete your wedding day. Check out her work and try and nab her down for 2021 because I’m sure her weekends will fill quickly!

Hey I'm Jennie. It's Fall, which means I get to dance my weekends away at weddings and my eating schedule is yet again - terribly inconsistent. So here's a photo of me in my prime.

Also, quick reminder: PRICING GOES UP NOVEMBER 1ST! If you're getting married in 2021, let's chat! I have four consultations just tomorrow for 2021 weddings. Wanna nail down a FUN wedding photographer who will help you have the wedding day of your dreams??? DM me and LET'S GO!

Fall weddings don’t have to mean all oranges and yellows. How stunning is this cake by Jovan Events?

Congratulations The Highlands, LLC: Custom Event Space on your official grand opening! I cannot WAIT to come and check out this space and hopefully help a few brides down its aisle.

HUGE thank you to for helping us plan an amazing open house! We couldn’t be more thankful for all of the love and support from our community. We admit, it felt good to use the big scissors ✂️😂.

The vendors who came together for all the wonderful things you experienced are absolutely top notch. We are truly grateful!

Tradition dictates that a bride should wear one of each of these things on her wedding day. They are said to bring luck, protection and happiness and blue also represents fidelity. ⁣
⁣
Personally I love this tradition but I also like to mix things up a little. On my own wedding day I kept things fairly classic except the blue. Instead of the traditional garter I had my seamstress sew a single blue bead onto my wedding dress. Unnoticeable amid the rest of the beading and lacework but fun to know it was there. ⁣

The rest of my list looked like this:⁣

I’m going to talk more about honoring parents, relatives and loved ones soon. I have lots of ideas so if that’s something important to you let’s talk.

How chic? I would totally float this idea with my bridesmaids if I did my wedding again.

From gorgeous colors and prints to modern silhouettes, we've researched the best bridesmaid jumpsuits for every type of wedding, season, and budget.

Are you a wondering if it’s even possible to host a wedding right now? It’s absolutely possible. Different, but possible.

It’s important to know the people behind small businesses, especially ones as personal as wedding planning. So here I am (though I must confess this is on a particularly good hair day)!⁣
⁣
And here is what I like people to know about me:⁣
⁣
𝟷. I’m Emily and I live just outside Wichita with my husband and our little girl 👶🏼
⁣
𝟸. I’m British and have lived Stateside for three years 🇬🇧
⁣
𝟹. I adore weddings of all kind. I planned my own to Prince William when I was twelve 🤴
⁣
𝟺. I believe there is too much judgement around people’s wedding decisions which is why planning can be so stressful 🤯
⁣
𝟻. I will never ask you to sacrifice something that is important to you because it doesn’t fit a traditional mold 👩‍🎤⁣
⁣
So (here comes the sales bit) if you need help and think we could be a good match, book a free consultation by sending me a quick message. Even if you’re not sure exactly what you need, let’s talk. Coffees are on me ☕️ ⁣

Who’s watched ? ⁣⁣

Baby VW and I binge watched it on Fourth of July weekend and could happily watch it all over again. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wonderful design, food and dresses and some of the most moving stories you’ll hear. You’ll need tissues. ⁣⁣

If it has you inspired for your big day but you need help navigating, get in touch!

Some very balanced and easy to digest advice here.

My advice is to layout your expectations/requests with your planner/coordinator as early as you can so you can lean on them when it comes to navigating these difficult conversations.

Make sure to do it early though so your planner has the option to consider their own position as well.

There is a lot to discuss when planning a wedding amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Below, experts on how to handle the talks as a bride, groom, guest, and more.

Madie and Jack had a color scheme that would really work any time of year. We kept table decorations simple but warm with lots of candles and let Lovely Floral Co. ‘s amazing flowers make the statement. ⁣⁣

Being the romantic that I am I wanted to name my business after my daughter. Violet is one of my her middle names, after my grandmother Violet May. Plus I love having a floral reference because what’s a wedding without flowers?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Also, fun fact - violets represent everlasting love and the future, and if you look closely you’ll see their petals are sort of heart shaped 💜

These 👇 violets have pride of place in our front garden in honor of our own little flower.
