Let's break it down
From the initial planning phase through your wedding day, we're Committed to crafting your Ultimate wedding experience
We're so excited to blow your mind with what's possible
the Perfect Location
Whether you've dreamt of getting married on top of a mountain, next to the ocean, or in your parents backyard, we can help you nail down your perfect wedding location. We're masters at finding the perfect AirBnB, discovering off-the-beaten-path locations, and sifting through local rules and regulations to ensure your perfect day.
Nailing your aesthetic
Once we've figured out what's important to you, and where we'll be celebrating, we'll work with you to create an aesthetic that matches your tastes and your personality. We'll make moodboards, decide on decor, explore color palettes, find your perfect attire, and so much more.
Logistics to set your mind at ease
Flights, road trips, rental cars, lodging, passes and permits, communicating with your people. No matter what logistical hurdles you may stumble upon, we're here to help you overcome them so you can enjoy a smooth, stress-free wedding experience.
Vendors you'll love
While we wear a whole bunch of hats, you'll still need a team of vendors, and we can't wait to introduce you to our favorites. You'll love them. We've seen firsthand that vendors do their best work when they have a personal relationship with their clients. So we'll make the introduction and let you take it from there.
Custom Timeline Creation
Rarely appreciated, your wedding timeline is the undisputed backbone of your day. When we create your timeline, we'll take into account your preferences and personality, and make sure we schedule a day that's as flexible (or as rigid) as you need it to be. So when your day rolls around, you won't have to waste a second wondering if you're where you're supposed to be when you're supposed to be there.
Extra Special Activities
When you throw out the rulebook on what a wedding is supposed to be, the opportunities that arise are endless. Whether you want to go whitewater rafting, or fly in a hot air balloon, or rent a mechanical bull, we'll help you find activities that fit your vibe and will make your day even more special.
so is wedding design right for me?
Let's find out
Wedding design is for you if:
You aren't sure at all what you want your wedding to look like
You know you want a wedding that's outside the box and have no clue where to start
You want to be an active participant in the wedding planning process but want professional guidance and a sounding board for your awesome ideas
You've got friends and family who would love to help out on your wedding day
we work in tandem with planners and coordinators all the time.
You may want to hire a planner/coordinator as well if:
You're ridiculously busy and just want to show up to a beautiful wedding day without having to worry about any of the details
Wedding planning is incredibly difficult logistically because of your living and/or work arrangements
You don't want to worry at all about communicating with vendors and want somebody else to handle it
You have loads of stuff that needs set up and torn down (tents, tables, chairs, decor, etc) and you don't want your friends and family to have to worry about it
Getting your friends and family to the right place at the right time is more difficult than herding cats
You don't want a friend or member of your family putting out fires (ie: calling the baker because the cake hasn't shown up. Running back to the hotel to get the forgotten shoes, etc)
