While it might seem encouraging to say “Well don’t worry about it! It’s just a bad dream!”— 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲, 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗲. Because more likely than not, there’s a *𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯* your subconscious is bringing it to light. ⁣
⁣
I’mma tell ya, this recently happened to me. Y’all know my baby brother’s wedding is just on the horizon. The other night I woke up in a cold sweat from a nightmare— glass cylinders chasing me around @pavilioneventspace saying “𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲, 𝗦𝗲𝘆𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗿!” while the venue went up in flames behind me, all to the soundtrack of AC/DC’s Back in Black 🔥 (𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸...𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘙𝘢𝘤𝘩?!) ⁣
⁣
Normally I’d just say, “𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘥!” and get on with my snoozing. But I’m glad I put a little more thought in to the 𝘄𝗵𝘆 of this dream, because —yup, you guessed it— we hadn’t confirmed candles for one of the centerpieces 😱 ⁣
⁣
This particular tablescape’s items are being sourced from multiple vendors, and in the shuffle we’d forgotten to assign responsibility for these needed candles. What a small yet incredibly important detail to miss! ⁣
⁣
We promise y’all, we’re here for your raving, your ranting, and your up-all-nighter wedding nightmares. There are real life emotions and tasks behind these, and these lovelies are here to help you handle them all. 😘 Don’t have a lovely on your dream vendor team yet? 𝘚𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘋𝘔’𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘦! We got you! ⁣

Okay, but tell me I’m not the only one who has had crazy wedding nightmares! Share some of your own zingers and crazy stories below 👇🏽⁣

This is a tough topic, that’s for sure. Floral budgets can seem like such a mystery! Who even knows what a “normal” floral budget looks like? 💁🏻‍♀️⁣

It seems one of the first design cuts couples make is to their florals, because the number can honestly be a little overwhelming. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘁! So my hope is to provide you with all the facts, to give you a clear cut picture of what you can expect from your floral proposals. ⁣

𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽: Want to know the quickest way to save on your wedding budget?! Keep your guest count and your bridal party numbers small. ⁣
- Got 6 bridesmaids? That’s $500 of your floral budget right there! Or even consider a single, impactful stem versus a traditional bouquet ⁣
- Smaller guest count weddings mean less tables which mean less total centerpieces⁣

What do you think? Were these numbers surprising?! Or about what you expected? 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 👇🏽⁣

Okay, that’s not true. 𝗜 𝗪𝗜𝗦𝗛. But this warm weather + sun has me all kinds of excited for some upcoming trips! Pretty sure the beach and some margs are calling my name 💁🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
But just thinking about planning a trip has my mind blown 🤯 There are so many logistical pain points now (𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤) that I can’t even imagine where to begin. ⁣
⁣
That’s where a travel planner comes in handy, imma just tell you. I am generally the first person to say, “𝗻𝗮𝗵, 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳!” But I can’t even begin to relate the travel nightmares I’ve heard thanks to 2020, all of them without a travel planner and advocate on their team. ⁣
⁣
That’s why today, I’m introducing you to my friend Haley of @destinationshd. Not only is Haley one of the 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘵 souls you will ever meet, she is darn good at what she does! (𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 🦁 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴!) ⁣

Hopefully y’all have missed me as much as I’ve missed you! I had an *𝘶𝘯𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘥* two weeks off from the ol’ interwebs. And boy oh boy am I ready to jump back in! 💃 ⁣
⁣
Let me tell ya, quiet here on the instagram does not mean quiet in the work that we’re doing. One of those things is this adorable couple’s wedding, happening in a few short weeks. ⁣
⁣
Don’t know these cuties? This is my baby brother and his soon-to-be wifey! *𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘐’𝘮 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨’𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦 😭* I have loved getting to help plan their big day and 𝗜. 𝗖𝗮𝗻. 𝗡𝗼𝘁. 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁. to show you all the behind the scenes. They have an amazing team, ready to get to work in just a few short weeks! ⁣
⁣
And let me say— it’s been quite a few years since we’ve had a sibling wedding. So even as a wedding planner with all the knowledge...I have felt so 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘮𝘦𝘥 with 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨. You know when you are so invested in making sure the day goes perfect, you kind of lose your head? *𝘠𝘜𝘗. 𝘐𝘛 𝘔𝘌. 🐓 * ⁣
⁣
But it’s given me an updated, refreshed perspective on just 𝗵𝗼𝘄 we can best serve our couples in protecting the planning experience. I have so many resource ideas, I don’t even know where to start! ⁣
⁣
So let me know! ⁣
✔️ What are some of the wedding detail questions you have? ⁣
✔️ What are some of the tips + tricks you’ve discovered through the planning process? ⁣
✔️ What are some behind-the-scenes you’d love to see? ⁣

Birthdays are my favorite days of the year. There’s so much love and joy - and pie! - to share around together. (Maybe less of the pie if you’re in my house 💁🏻‍♀️) ⁣

Let’s be honest, I love them so dang much I celebrate mine as a whole birthday 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 #𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 👑 In celebration of my birthday month, I’m asking for your favorite charities, ministries and small businesses as I work to spread love through our Kansas City. ⁣

I’d love to make small donations to all your charities, and small businesses listed will see me as a supporter these next few weeks. ⁣
