"Grateful for bringing my fairytale wedding to life. It exceeded my expectations and was truly magical."
Jazmine, Ideal Events bride
Historically, wedding bouQuet tradition started with herbs and flowers to protect the bride from evil spirits and bring good luck. Over time, it evolved into a way to symbolize love, fertility, and new beginnings.
Today, it's also just a beautiful part of her overall look — it ties the style of the wedding together and gives her something graceful to do with her hands as she walks down the aisle.

We promise it’s worth watching

At least that’s how many clients picture it …
DISCLAIMER: This reel is a joke, wedding planner’s job IS NOT to
Clean & fix the venue
Put together your DIY from SHEIN
Serve your guests
Deliver your food
Pick up seaweed from the beach
( add your variant in comments )
And yes we have been asked to do all these & more
The wedding planner’s job is to design and manage your event and people who work for your event, but these labor costs ( cleaning , set up , break down , deliveries ) are to be covered by clients.
You day of coordinator IS NOT your set up crew , your dj , your bartender and server .
These are all separate jobs that need to be paid for .
Please be respectful of our services and work we put into it.

How to Involve Your Guests in Your Wedding Ceremony: A Unique Group Reading Experience
Your wedding ceremony is one of the most meaningful moments of your special day, and involving your guests in a unique way can make it even more memorable. One creative and heartfelt approach is to have your guests participate in the ceremony by reading questions along with the officiant. This not only keeps them engaged but also creates a beautiful sense of unity and love.
How It Works
Each guest will receive a small letter at their seat with pre-written questions read aloud at a designated time during the ceremony. The officiant will prompt them to open the letters and join the reading creating an interactive and emotional experience.
Steps to Arrange This Interactive Ceremony
1. Plan the Script with Your Officiant
Work with your officiant to decide where in the ceremony you want guest participation.
2. Create the Guest Cards/ letters
Design simple yet elegant cards with the questions printed on them . These can be:
Placed on each guest’s seat before the ceremony
Included in the ceremony program
Handed out by ushers as guests arrive
Make sure the text is large and clear enough for everyone to read easily.
Part 2 in comments …
Are your wedding shoes comfy enough ?
The number one wedding regret is not having comfortable shoes! Comfort is far more important than style—no one will even see your shoes under the dress, but you’ll definitely feel the pain if they’re not right.
Modern trendy brides are turning more to flats and sneakers options especially for the wedding reception part .
Don’t be afraid to show off your unique style and take care of your feet !
Stay pain-free, confident, and ready to enjoy every moment of your big day!

The truth is that photos take time !
You need to sit down with your planner and photographer to discuss what really fits with your timeline and budget ( because you pay photographer an hourly rate ) and what is really important for you .
If you are taking photos with the family during cocktail hour , you need to make sure your guests are fed and entertained .
Will you take prewedding photos so you can enjoy the party after the ceremony.
Experiences wedding planner will provide guidance on how to handle photos and family in the best way possible .
If you don’t have a planner yet, dm us for affordable online consultation at $100 for guidance and advice for your wedding!

When you hire a professional team for your wedding set up you also hire them to deal with emergencies and unforeseen situations and manage stress and find solutions for the difficult circumstances that might arise during your wedding day .
The weather forecast was great the entire week so our couple was so excited to get married and celebrate their wedding on the private roof top. The day of the wedding right after we finished the beautiful set up it started pouring , rain went on a and off. The team worked so hard to save the set up and had to clean up and pick up the broken decor several times. Magically the rain stopped right before the wedding and we were able to prepare everything right before the guests arrived .
These moments are not shown enough on social media , clients only see the pretty picture, but we want to show the work and stress that goes into it and the value we provide with our services.

When designing this wedding we wanted it to be clean, minimalistic, elephant and timeless.
Custom black & white backdrop with callas floral arrangements was perfect choice for our style.
