It's a Bree's Weddings & Events

26/06/2024

Sometimes it's the simple touches that get me!

You don't have to have a huge budget to create a beautiful wedding. As long as it feels true to you & your fiancé, that's all that matters.

✨️✨️ BIG NEWS ✨️✨️

Now offering vegan, eco-conscious full & partial planning support for your next wedding & event! I have been working on vendors & options to support a vegan, eco-conscious client in all aspects of their event.

Being a plant-based, eco-minded vendor in the wedding & event industry & seeing the lack of knowledge & options for vegan guests & vendors, plus seeing all the waste from one day, made me want to focus on supporting clients with similar needs.

I fully understand your needs & I am here to help! Can't wait to get started!

Love,
Bree

Ps. Don't forget to mention your valid
membership to receive 15% off (up to $250) on your next vegan planning package!

What a year, 2021! Thanks to all my amazing clients that made it awesome because the first 6 months were bleak but we did it! Was I crazy to expand my business in this industry during a pandemic? Maybe but that's how I roll! Looking forward to what 2022 will bring!

What can I say about this chair except... PERFECTION! When I was talking with Kate about her vision & she mentioned a moss covered chair.. my heart may have skipped a beat a few times. Like can you blame me, just look at it?! ❤❤

I T I S T I M E

We are finally here! I get to tell you what I have been working on for the past few months so let's go! When I started my wedding & event planning business I had a dream to evolve my business with sustainability in mind & we are here.

At the early stages of opening my business, I fell in love with the special pieces Wishes Vintage Event Rentals offered for rentals, I booked an appointment with Jo-Ann to see her rentals when I was supporting one of my best-friend's plans for her backyard wedding & I was smitten. I loved the milk glass, vintage pieces, the lace, terrariums, bird cages, every sign you could need, and the list goes on. I developed an amazing relationship with Jo-Ann over the years & made sure to voice my thought that if the time comes & she wanted to sell, to call me first. THE CALL CAME!! I am so sad to say good-bye to a wonderful vendor like Jo-Ann but will cherish all the pieces she has collected & continue to create amazing wedding & events for future Couples & Clients.

RENTALS NOW AVAILABLE at breesrentals.square.site & email at [email protected]

So here we are! I am expanding my business to offer vintage, unique, sustainable wedding & event decor with easy booking, pick up & drop off!

Follow for new inventory drops, decor tips & ideas, promotions & more!

Moving in a wedding boom during a pandemic definitely keeps you on your toes so this week is busy unpacking, preparing for September weddings & meeting new Couples in the many consultations I have booked!

Oh, an enchanted forest wedding? Yes, please! I am obsessed with moss so K&D's wedding was a dream.

Kate did an amazing job in creating their theme, decor & pulling everything together perfectly with a ceremony that was meaningful & personalized for them.

Shout out to the fantastic that helped create a magical, memorable day!

Oh, how I miss this so much!



In the last few weeks, I have been getting many request from 2021 couples looking to postpone to 2022 & some were 2020 couples. This is such a hard time for couples & the wedding and event industry!

If you are an engaged couple planning a wedding or a wedding or event vendor, I want you to know that I see you & feel you. Although our plans keep on changing, we will get to the other side. Celebrating love will not be gone forever, just might look a little different right now. So take a minute to breathe & indulge in something to make you smile. For me, it's donuts!

I'm here if you need to vent!

Love,
Bree
