BRITTANIE

  • My favorite part of the wedding day is creating the element of surprise for not only the wedding guests but for our couples. I have a HUGE obsession with a room reveal. When we get to show our couples a room reveal and they walk into a space and it gives you ALL the romantic and magical feels- That is the moment that matters. We helped create a space that reflects the two of them as a couple and sets the tone for the rest of the evening.

  • My favorite part of the planning process being able to work with a lot of different types of people, with all different walks of life- Whether that be our clients or our vendor team. It's in the short time we are able to be together, I'm able to share the joys and even hard times with clients and those moments are so rewarding, it's something that fuels me and makes my job one of a kind.

  • Trust your Vendor Team. Your vendor team has all the BEST interest in heart and they also have years of experience in the Wedding + Hospitality Industry lean into that and trust they have your back.

  • My favorite part of the wedding day is when we've completed the ceremony, everyone is on such a high and is ready to get the party started.

  • My favorite part of the planning process is getting to know my clients and being able to build a relationship with them! I like to have fun with them and help them enjoy the process of planning their wedding.

  • My wedding day tip would definitely be to soak it all in, let us do everything, handle everything for you, and to have FUN with all your people in one place.

  • My favorite part of the wedding day is the bride's entrance in a ceremony. I love seeing the way the bride and groom look at each other, as well as the way their guests look at them. Your wedding day is a unique moment in life where you get to bring everyone you love into the same room to celebrate and show their support, and it's such a beautiful moment when you see the love reflected on everyone's faces.

  • My favorite part of the wedding planning process is getting to hear everyone's unique visions for their day! I love seeing how people incorporate tradition and new wedding trends, and all the personal touches that make your day special.

  • My wedding day tip is to be present! You've spent all of this time and energy planning your wedding, people have come from all over, and now it's time to celebrate. Take in the big and small moments, and find peace in knowing that you've hired the right people to execute your wedding day vision. We all want nothing but the best for your big day, and your only job should be to enjoy it!

BETHANY

  • My favorite part of wedding day is watching everything come together. All the decor and florals and lovely moments. 

  • My favorite flower is Lisianthus. They mean gratitude and appreciation as well as a lifelong bond between two people, so I like to include them into arrangements when I can because it feels like I’m putting those things into each creation for my couple’s.
