Celebrate: Erin & Steve

These two amazing people, are both the youngest of 4, and have 3 older sisters each.  So when I said “have immediate family show up at 4pm for pictures”, I forgot that that meant like 30 people. I came downstairs and a reminder light went off in my brain, because at first I was thinking “who are all these guests here so early!!”.  It was so sweet to see how their family cared so much about these two and all the littles were playing some sort of roll in it all.

And it’s no wonder that they are accustomed to a chaotic group gathering or little kids running around – it didn’t even phase Erin when I (last minute) had to bring my 5 week old baby to a meeting and walk around bouncing him in my carrier while we selected linen colors!  That is why they wanted this awesome cocktail style, lounge-y gathering where everyone is just together; talking, dancing, laughing, not ever sitting for too long, because that is their comfort zone and what makes them happiest. Just a good, familial group of people celebrating their love.  Congrats!

Celebrate: Kate & Wade

The moment you meet Kate and Wade, you just know that they’re perfect for one another.  They’re both soft spoken and have the same down-to-earth vibe; they even look perfect for one another.  I think you could categorize Kate’s voice as the sweetest voice you’ve ever heard, it just makes you want to be her friend.  Needless to say, planning their wedding with them was an absolute delight!  I adore them both equally (I think in part because Wade said he has worked on building some Tiny Homes for HGTV and I’m OBSESSED with HGTV), and I couldn’t be happier that they have just begun their beautiful life together after this gorgeous wedding. Exactly what you’d expect from her: classic, simple, natural and beautiful.  Such a perfect day!

Celebrate: Katie & Jared

When you have a rap battle right after your grand entrance to your reception, you know this is going to be one heck of a party! This great big Italian wedding was wonderful and full of life.  Katie’s optimistic personality kept her going throughout the entire planning process, and Jared’s perfectly supportive demeanor was the perfect match to this energetic duo.  It has been such a fun year working with this gem, so happy to finally get to see them happily married!

Celebrate: Erica & Charles

I’m sitting here writing a collection of blog posts from my past 5 or so weddings, and I could not be more lucky with the group of people that I get to work with.  While all my couples could not be more different from one another, they each have these amazing qualities to them that make me so fortunate to get to know them.

Erica and Charles have the most amazing, quirky, fun-loving personalities. With a little bit of sarcasm from Charles and type-A detailing from Erica, these two hit home for me and I felt right at ease from the start! And when you listen to their talk and banter, it’s obvious they’ve been together for quite a few years (the cake topper actually said “finally” on it!) and are going to last a lifetime ahead.  Such love for these two, so grateful to have gotten to know them!

Celebrate: Jennifer & Chris

Jennifer is like a bottle of champagne always ready to be popped open! This bride has so much energy and enthusiasm and personality, she would literally make me laugh out loud for a good 90% of the emails she sent me.  It is no wonder that her groom is so kind and her family just the same, she just is a magnet that draws in really good people.  It was a blast working with her and helping make her day complete, such a great day! Thank you Jennifer, keep shining bright because you bring joy to those around you 🙂

Celebrate: Rafael & Rachel

They say you can’t plan life, and for a planner, that can be pretty annoying when it comes true.  After being so excited to plan Rafael and Rachel’s September wedding in Seattle, it turned out I would be welcoming my own new addition to our family just 7 days before the wedding, making it impossible for me to travel across the country.  My heart broke at the thought of missing this day for two reasons: because I hate to disappoint anyone, and because these two amazing people are also family. Rafael is my cousin and there are only a few chances to get to plan and attend family weddings, and I did not want to miss this one!

I couldn’t have had a more gracious couple to not only be excited for me, but to completely understand that my physical presence on the wedding day wasn’t what makes the process a success.  So with that, the day was absolutely beautiful, with a trusted coordinator in place to execute this amazing day, I just wish we could have been there! So thrilled to welcome the beautiful, smart and funny Rachel to our family, Rafael knocked it out of the park with this one!

Celebrate: Morgan & Caleb

Sweet Morgan!  Oh my goodness, the kindness and consideration that came out of this darling bride and her mother was beyond comprehension – I swear I think they sometimes were more concerned with how I was doing than how the wedding was coming along!  They are such thoughtful and enjoyable people, there was no doubt in my mind that this day was going to be fully loved by everyone who was there.  One of our favorite venues to work at, Belle Meade Plantation was a hot beauty on this July day, and we loved every minute of it!

Celebrate: Claire & Brian

Beautiful Claire is a woman who knows exactly what she wants.  Probably why I liked her so much.  I knew from our phone call that we would get along great because she was efficient, direct and super pumped about her amazing wedding she had been planning.  Then when I met Brian and heard the pastor describe his dog persona as a “labrador retriever”, I knew that there couldn’t be a better descriptor.  These two are so complementary of one another, I can just tell they’re going to ham-and-egg life beautifully.  We were so thrilled to be a part of this insanely gorgeous and over the top wedding! This A-list team of vendors pulled out all the stops and it was like a well-oiled, party machine!

Celebrate: Noelle & Adam

Noelle contacted us only about 4 months before the big day, and I knew she had a lot of big plans in store!  A true people pleaser, she wanted to make sure everyone was happy at all points, from her parents to her future in-laws to getting exactly what her groom wanted for the big day, she planned her heart out! And all of the work paid off to create this beauty.  So happy to have helped execute her vision, it was such a perfect day!
