If you’re hiring a coordinator to execute your logistics on the big day, here is a clear look at what often falls outside our scope so you can plan accordingly.

Color is making a comeback—and it's doing so in a big way. Today's couples are looking for ways to create weddings that feel deeply personal and unforgettable. Rather than following a single aesthetic, they're embracing palettes that tell a story, evoke emotion, and reflect their personalities. This resurgence isn't about being louder—it's about being more intentional.

Flower mockups are a trial run of your floral  arrangements. Usually, fresh floral mockups are limited to bridal bouquets, bridesmaids’  bouquets and centerpieces. The intention is to give the couple an overall idea of the color  story, size, shape and texture of their floral arrangements. 
Although many floral designers and florists do provide this service, there are plenty that  do not. If you’re considering or questioning the purpose and need of a floral mockup, here  is some information that you might find helpful. 

From the beginning, Erica and Isabella wanted their wedding to feel personal, joyful, and centered on community. As their planner, my role was to help translate those values into each decision while creating a day that allowed them to remain fully present.

Emily and Grant’s wedding reimagined classic urban elegance through a bold, fruit-inspired lens, transforming the Chicago Illuminating Company into a vibrant celebration of color, texture, and personality. Rather than leaning into the muted tones often associated with industrial venues, this design embraced playful citrus hues, rich berry accents, and unexpected pops of tangerine, raspberry, and lime.

The candid film aesthetic captured a beautiful spring day in late May. With garden party floral baskets set for ceremony, paired with the colorful bridesmaids' bouquets, the decor and softness of color use in this wedding is truly one-of-a-kind. The mix of overcast and partly sunny weather made for amazing romantic photos by the willow tree or walking by the flower fields.
