Our 3 Phase Approach to Wedding Planning

Planning a wedding can feel very overwhelming. From the napkin fold to the guest list and more it is a very detailed ordeal.

We have a staged approach to wedding planning to stay organized and keep things running smoothly.  We have used this tried and true planning process to plan over 400 weddings since 2010. 

Let’s dive in…

PHASE I: VISION SETTING & NON-DESIGN VENDORS

We will start with understanding your vision for your wedding or the overall look and feel you are wanting. To do this, we select 3 - 5 keywords you want your wedding to ‘feel’ like. This could be “fancy and elegant” or “casual and beachy”.

This helps us understand how to guide your budget, which is one of the first things we set. What you want your wedding to ‘feel’ like and how you prioritize your budget - allows us to guide your venue or vendor selections appropriately.

Next, we focus on securing your non-design vendors. Mainly:

• Venue

• Catering, Bartending, & Desserts

• Photographer & Cinematographer (if desired)

• Officiant

• Transportation (if needed)

We focus on these vendors first because, in general, they are very competitive in pricing and leave you with little wiggle room for a competent professional. Once these vendors are completed, we will have a good understanding of the budget remaining for the design elements. Think of this as ensuring the electrical and plumbing are complete before you focus on the furniture and flatware.

PHASE II: DESIGN

After the non-design vendors are complete, we move to the pretty things, the design phase. This centers around the things that will make your vision come alive.

This phase covers:

• Attire: Selecting the perfect outfits for the occasion

• Floral: sets the tone of your event more than any other detail at your wedding

• Signage & Stationary: helps create your theme while making guests feel informed

• Personal Decor: if desired, personal decor touches can bring add your own unique personality to your love story.

• Rentals: if desired, rentals can elevate your event by adding an elegant and stunning touch to your theme. Things like lighting, tablescape details, gifts and more.

  We will utilize your inspirations plus our Design Studios to identify and source the details you desire.

PHASE III: TIMELINE & EXECUTION

This is where it all starts to come together! The timeline will be curated throughout the wedding planning so that all details are documented and accounted for. Vendors start to get contacted with the expectation details and the pieces of the puzzle come together!  

We work closely with all vendors to ensure a timeline meets each experts needs as well as allows for you the time you deserve to enjoy each moment. 

If you have hired us for day-of coordination, this is where we jump in!

We handle last-minute questions, emails, and logistics that come up. We are your go-between for vendors and your desires or wishes so you can stay focused on all of your loved ones.

We guide your rehearsal the day before your wedding and are typically the first vendor to arrive and usually the last to leave your venue on your big day. 

Our role is to execute the wedding details by assisting vendors and guests, keeping track of the timeline, and being of service to you and your wedding party. This allows you to stay focused on the moments and memories and us to handle the rest.
