I want to share a conversation I had about a year ago with my physical therapist. It's about trust.

She told me she was going out of town to celebrate her wedding anniversary, so I asked her to tell me about her wedding - the planning, the ex*****on, the day itself. She said it was a wonderful day. It rained, they were sad but they embraced it - it was April in the PNW after all. It was a lot of work, they didn't hire a few specific vendors including a Wedding Coordinator. And to that, she said something that got me thinking about this very important topic of trust. She said:
“In hindsight, I now see how I should have trusted that, as professionals, you really know what you’re doing. We didn’t hire a Wedding Coordinator because I thought it would take more time to explain to them what I wanted and what I had planned than it was worth. But no! You are professionals. You know soooo much more than us brides do, even about our own weddings, because you’ve seen it a hundred times.”

She captured everything I have ever wanted to say. When you hire your vendors, yes, you are paying them to execute what you ask for, but you are also paying for their expertise and professionalism. The bottom line is we know more about weddings than you do - yes, even your own. And we know how to do our job better than you do - sorry not sorry🤷🏼‍♀️ We know what's a good idea, we know what's a bad idea. We know the 5 steps that will happen before and after everything you want to do. We know how to execute what you want done, and perhaps the journey to making it happen looks different than you expected but that's where the trust comes in. It all falls apart if you don't trust the professionals to do their job. We aren't in this business for selfish gain - we are in this business because we genuinely want to see you happy on one of the biggest days of your life.

Please only hire vendors when you're ready to trust them with that part of the day fully and completely!

So you want to do your First Look and/or portraits off site? LOVE IT. Let's do it!

Here are a few tips, though:
🌲Check with your photographer to make sure they're cool with additional travel. It could incur an extra fee if you're going far enough away from the venue.
🌲Add 10-15 minutes on to your travel time both to and from the off site location. This can buffer for unexpected traffic, as well as the time it takes for you to literally get out of the car, do a fit check, and walk to the spot you'll be taking photos.
🌲Consider privacy. If you don't care about the general public watching your special moment, great, more power to you. But if you'd rather it be really private, be sure to choose a location that can honor that. And communicate it to your photographer so they know, too!
🌲📍Drop a pin!! If your family or wedding party is planning to meet you at that location, please, please, please drop the pin so they can find you. Otherwise time will be wasted wandering around, and time is everything in the morning!

And most importantly? E N J O Y!

Have you thought about how you're going to have fun on your wedding day?

No really, truly...amidst all your wedding planning shenanigans, have you actually thought about how you will have F-U-N? Not just on the dance floor. Not just during toasts. Not just in the early morning hour when the excitement is fresh and new and the nerves haven't kicked in yet. But throughout the WHOLE ENTIRE day.

What are you going to do to protect your mental and emotional energy in the morning? What do you want to do together during your First Look? How will your wedding party show up during photos?

Do you have a Coordinator to ensure your family and bridal party can sit back and relax? Do you have a photographer that is 100% your vibe? Is your hair and makeup team like an extension of your bridal party? Do you have a favorite song you can't help but dance to?

This isn't to pile on more things for you to think about, but rather to help you shift your mindset a little bit. Wedding planning is stressful which makes it easy to fall back on only thinking through the natural steps of the day: Get ready. Take photos. Get married. Sign the license. Cocktail hour. Dinner. Toasts. Dancing. Done. It almost feels robotic - just going through the motions.

But what about the inbetween time? That's where the magic truly happens, friends. You have a whole day to spend together. Be sure you're doing the things you love, especially if it goes against the grain of traditional wedding timelines! Make this day yours!

From your First Look to "I Do" to a quick getaway before Cocktail Hour - our approach to constructing your Day-of Timeline begins with what YOU want to do. How YOU want to spend every minute of the day. Not what "should" happen, not what "would be best for everyone else" - but what YOU want.

Of course, we will always educate you on the reality of making each moment happen so you can decide if that's actually what you want, but the bottom line is that we do everything we can to protect your wishes.

Once we have your answers back from our intentionally crafted Timeline Questionnaire, we then have individual conversations with each member of your vendor team to gather their own timing needs, discuss logistical details, and ultimately advocate for those special moments you want to make happen. We negotiate with them to find a middle ground on timing when necessary, and ultimately ensure they, too, get behind your overall vision for the day.

This attention to detail is not something your Aunt Jenny or your mom's BFF will have - sorry to say it. This attention to detail comes from years of experience, years of refining a process, and years of learning the ins and outs of executing a wedding day.

If you are on the fence about hiring a Coordinator, DM us - we would be happy to share all the reasons why you would benefit from one! If you're getting married in 2026 and are still on the hunt for one, head to our link in bio to inquire, we still have availability!

Rain will ruin your wedding day...
..but only if you let it.

Bring the umbrellas.
Bring a grateful heart.
Bring your Rain Plan.
And keep perspective.

We're in the PNW, friends! Rain is inevitable, especially in May, June, September and October. And yes, occasionally in July and August🙈

If you come ill-prepared and haven't anchored your heart in the true purpose of why your'e there, then yes, you will be disappointed and the rain will ruin the day.

Please be like Alejandro and Linda! Nothing but smiles and rolling with the punches (and rain drops).

And speaking of color...can we take a moment to swoon over this group of gal pals that surrounded our sweet bride Madeline on her big day?

Madeline and Dylan opted out of a wedding party, but still invited a special group of friends to take photos and spend a few minutes together prior to the ceremony.

Your wedding party doesn't have to look a certain way - it can be WHATEVER you want it to be. What's important is that you have those around you that support you, will ground you, and will help build the excitement.

COLOR COLOR COLOR! It has been the year of color and we are all about it.

Designing this set up for the Snohomish Wedding Tour was so much fun and unlike anything we've done before. The idea of Color Blocking might feel restrictive to some, but to us it was the invitation to combine different textures, styles, and shades of each color.

I still can't pick which table was my favorite but I think it was yellow. What was yours?!

I have been ALL about the black accents lately.

I mean - I always have been...but it always felt out of place in the wedding world because *CoLoR*, and this year I'm saying screw it! BLACK ACCENTS EVERYWHERE.

Partnering with Emily at on this paper suite design for my Botanica Noire styled shoot was such a dream. I cannot put into words how easy this girl is to work with, how brilliant she is with her design and process, and how much downright fun she is!

And to top it off, Erin with was beyond gracious enough to contribute some of her handmade, exquisite jewelry for the shoot, as well. Like COME ON - look at those stones you guys!

Finding partners within the industry that you can collaborate with so seamlessly are the partners you want to keep close - Emily and Erin, I'm keeping you close 😘

Hello, Sweet Bride to Be!

Hi! I'm Lacey and I am so happy you're here! I'm a classic PNW native who loves all things Washington: Coffee, mountains, Grey's Anatomy, and evergreen trees. Especially the evergreens. They mean home to me, and that's the whole idea behind Evergreen Weddings. I believe this season of life is meant for more than just planning the Big Day. It's the time to begin building the foundation to your own forever home - to create a life that is rich and long-lasting, just like an evergreen. My purpose here is to foster confidence, partnership, and excitement during this season by equipping my couples with unique resources and abundant encouragement to make for a fun, inclusive, and marriage-focused experience. I will invest in your relationship as much as I will invest in your wedding day. So let's keep the main thing the main thing and plan an Evergreen Wedding, shall we?
