These are the moments that you’ll cherish for a lifetime…

When booking your photographer, we strongly encourage you to consider carving out time for them document all of the important getting ready moments. We LOVE these precious captures of mom and sister helping Rachel get dressed. 🤍

If that’s something that’s important to you, we will make sure to build it into your wedding day timeline!

It’s giving Italian Villa…

We’ve got intimate weddings and elopements on the brain, and can’t wait to share what we are working on with our friends.

The moment vs the MOMENT… We love getting a gal

The moment vs the MOMENT…

We love getting a gallery back, and seeing how your photographer interprets your day.

How do we accomplish it? We make sure to set you up with the BEST photographer for YOUR celebration (not all photographers are created equal) and carve out the time necessary to capture moments like these!

R&D had their guests waiting in the cocktail area while these images were happening, and although having pushy and anxious guests is inevitable, they had to keep waiting!

As your coordinator, we ensure that we’ve carved out time for all of the magical moments you’ve ever dreamed of - but our timeline is only a reference point in the grand scheme of things. If you need more time for photos, we got you. If you need to push the first dance until later in the evening, we’ll make it happen. If you want to keep your photographer for one more hour to capture MORE drunken dancing, we will have that conversation for you so that YOU can enjoy your day and be present in every moment.

Still feeling like you don’t need a coordinator on your wedding day? We suggest you think again… 😘

Gone are the days where we try and fit everyone in a box!

We love when our couples allow their babes to find a dress that best suits them. Best way to do this? Find a company that carries several gown options in different hues - allowing for all of your gals to find the gown that they feel best in, whether in the same color or in varying shades.

We are always encouraging our couples to celebrate

We are always encouraging our couples to celebrate in a way that is truly and authentically theirs.

Want to know one thing that we did that I will cherish forever? I had my dad AND my son walk me down the aisle and give me away… He stood up there so proud, our Best Boy, and kept those groomsmen in line! Lol
Then after the ceremony, he ran around to the back of the church to meet us as we walked out. 🤍

Everyone has a unique love story to tell. How will you tell yours?

Today’s tip: REPURPOSE! Our biggest recommendat

Today’s tip: REPURPOSE!
Our biggest recommendation when it comes to stretching those dollars and creating multiple beautiful spaces on your wedding day.

Not sure what to repurpose? Let’s break it down…

If you’re planning on creating a beautiful floral display in your ceremony space -whether it’s large arrangements flanking your aisle entrance or stunning sprays attached to your arch - you can reuse them AFTER your ceremony!

Since most ceremonies last anywhere from 15-30 minutes, it would be a shame to leave those gorgeous blooms in the ceremony space for no one to enjoy. Luckily, you’ve got options for repurposing those florals! Our top two recommendations are:
1. If you have the option and the manpower, move your ceremony arch behind your sweetheart table. It creates a stunning backdrop for any photos of you during dinner and during toasts.
2. Cut down the floral arrangements and place them on or around your sweetheart table, including any sprays used along or at the entrance of your aisle. A little added floral never hurt nobody!

If you’ve got the sweetheart table florals covered, ask us about where else we suggest repurposing those florals!

Not sure if hiring a coordinator is the right move for you? If you’re needing someone to…

-manage vendor arrivals and set up on wedding day.
-assist with decor set up (welcome table, photos, sentimental items)

With all of the fresh white snow up in Big Bear right now, we can’t help but get excited about this year’s mountain weddings.

@shaymeadowsranchandresort is truly a magical place - during any season. But these late summer, cloudy skies are to DIE for… just pure magic!

Sleek, classy, timeless…

Story time:
When I was a bride to be, I had it in my head that I wanted to wear a dusty grey gown with long sleeves. I was dead set. I knew that’s what I wanted. I had seen it on models online over and over again, and it was like the World Wide Web was calling out to me, “showing” me my future wedding gown, right? WRONG!

Fast forward to the day I went shopping for my wedding gown. Sleeves were NOT for me. But the only way I knew this was because I went in and tried on ALL the gowns. And the best part of it all? I ended up with a gown I would have never chosen for myself!!

Moral of the story is:
Make the appointment with @belovedcouturebridal (or your preferred bridal boutique) and try on every dress you can! You won’t regret it. 😘

One request we have for our 2024 couples? Make your day about YOU!

Bri & Cory opted for table names, rather than table numbers. And our favorite part? They included a photo of the two of them at each of the places they named that table after. My favorite table… HAWAII!

Whether it’s a subtle detail or in every detail, we encourage you to choose to incorporate as much of “YOU” as you can on your special day. You won’t regret it!
