We’re finally turning a corner y’all and seeing our 2020 couples have their BIG celebrations! ❤️ Last year some of out sweet couples made the decision to get married and have a small intimate ceremony with their families. It took a ton of tears, struggling with the decision, and stress, but they made the decision to push the big wedding and have the intimate ceremony on their original wedding date. This is our precious couple, Hannah & Justin! Yesterday, I sent them a 3 month out email and I can’t help but get soooo excited that the plans that have been in motion for over 2 years now, will finally happen this July! 🙌🏻❤️ It makes our hearts so happy to finally be able to give the day of their dreams to them! Y’all are going to want to tune into this one because it’s going to be so good. I’ll also be 😭 happy tears in the corner the whole time! COVID, we win and you lose!! 👊🏻 Pc: @lukeandashleyphotography Venue: @williamsburgwinery & @williamsburgwineryweddings Florals: @aleenfloraldesign Makeup: @jordansimpsonmakeupartistry Hair: @magnoliastudiohairsalon Planning: @weddingcoofwmsbg #williamsburgwedding #williamsburgweddings #virginiawedding #virginiabride #virginiaweddingcouple #virginiaweddingvenue #virginiawineries #virginiawinerywedding #virginiawinery #winerywedding #williamsburgwinery #williamsburgwinerywedding #covidwedding #covidweddingplanning

#5,432 reason we love what we do so much!🥰👇🏻 The friendships we form that last a lifetime! This is our bride, Jess. She and her love, got married back in 2018. We worked together on one of the most beautiful setups. We went through the ups and downs of planning together. We dealt with crazy pricing and wanting it all. We dealt with things not going our way. We planned, and we planned some more. And the night of the wedding, I’m pretty sure we both cried happy tears that it was all perfection. We were by her side for all of it. And that’s what makes what we do so gratifying and rewarding. We work so dang hard leading up to it all, and afterwards this beautiful friendship forms and the best part is we can actually be friends once the wedding happens! 👏🏻 Pc: @rebekahjmurray Venue: @cwresorts Florals: @aleenfloraldesign Planning & design: @weddingcoofwmsbg #cwresorts #williamsburgwedding #williamsburgweddings #weddingplannerlife #virginiawedding #virginiaweddings #virginiaweddingplanner #virginiabride #virginiabrides #colonialwilliamsburgwedding

It’s hard to believe we’re coming up on 9 years in business y’all! Today I’m sharing how it all started! 🤭👇🏻 I was one of those lucky few who actually knew what they wanted to do with their lives at a young age. When I was 17, I decided event & wedding planning was going to be my calling. I eagerly reached out to a local wedding planner and begged her to allow me to assist in any wedding she would allow me to help with. I ended up doing this for 5 years, coming home every chance I could from College to execute wedding days. Shortly after graduating College I landed a rentals position at Williamsburg Event Rentals, who to this day I still owe so much of my knowledge to. After I built that foundation, I spent a year selling, managing and expecting some of the most incredible weddings at @kingsmillresort with some friends that I made for life! But I realized I still longed for more. I wanted my own business! So I left my job to go to @william_and_mary as their Assistant Director of Alumni Events. I didn’t know it at the time, but I would spend 6 years there doing some incredible events (auctions, presidential events around the US, commencement, move in day, homecoming, small alumni events). 6 months after I started my job with the College I came home to my boyfriend and a check for $500. It was written out to me personally. Y’all, I thought he was breaking up with me and giving me $500 because we lived together 🤣. Boy was I wrong! It was his investment in me and my biz. Tristan and I had been together since we were 17 and he knew owning my own business was always a dream of mine. The next day, we took $1000 to the bank and opened my box of dreams! 🥰 Fast forward 9 years and here we are! It may have taken me 6 years to make this business a full-time gig, but I’m pretty dang proud of what it’s become! I have so many to thank for my success, but I owe most of it to my now husband, who believed in me enough to not only support me but financially invest in my dreams as well!

Today we’re sharing 5 reasons you should do a bridal portrait session! 🥰👇🏻 1. It allows you to test out all of the things! This is when we tell our brides to do their makeup/hair trials, get a sample bouquet, and get in their dress. Seeing the look all together will allow you to make sure you’re happy with the full look! 💕 2. It allows you to get to know your photographers even more! An engagement session is great, but have a second session before the wedding day gives you more one on one time to feel comfortable on camera & with your photographers! 3. You get to have photos in your dream location, even if it’s not your venue! Most brides go to their venue, but if you really have a dream location that you know you won’t be able to access on the wedding day, this is the perfect time to go get photos at the location! 4. You get incredible photos of you on one of the days you will feel most beautiful in life! I mean this is worth all of it in our opinions! 5. You will get to know your dress! You will learn how it moves, how you feel, and allows you to feel fully confident in your dress and you on the wedding day! Swipe 👉🏻 to see @_brittanyroe ‘s beautiful portraits! P.S. she got married at Kingsmill, so she chose the Williamsburg Inn for her portraits! Did you have a bridal portrait sesh done? Do you wish you did have one if you didn’t?

Read👇🏻to see how we pulled this ceremony RAIN PLAN off for 200+ guests! Y’all, this is still by far our favorite wedding ceremony setup at @burlingtonweddingsva ! To think that this was literally a last minute rain plan that we put together amazes me! 💕 With there being 200+ guests and it pouring buckets outside, we had to be able to pull this full flip off in just 40 minutes. The candles you see down the aisle, are actually all the couples centerpieces! Each centerpiece had 3 floating candles, greenery, and a little babies breath. So it was the natural thing to do to group these in threes down the aisle. Off to the side where no one could see it we had the 20+ piles of table decor grouped together. Each “pile” had a table number, the plate with silverware, the linen, the greenery, and napkins folded and ready to go! Following the ceremony, each of our team members were assigned 5-6 tables and they would grab the “pile” of table decor, linen, and the 3 candles from the aisle and we would transform each table! 🥰 This wasn’t easy and I’m pretty sure this setup is what led the venue to no longer allow full flips without an additional fee 🤣, but we pulled it off and it will forever be one of our faves! What do you think about this rain plan? Did you have any idea the logistics that go into something like this? 👇🏻 Pc: @katherinesparksphoto Venue: @burlingtonweddingsva Planning & design: @weddingcoofwmsbg #weddingdayrain #weddingceremony #indoorceremony #rainplan #weddingrainplan #charlescityweddingvenue #charlescitywedding #charlescityweddingplanner #weddingcoofwilliamsburg #virginiawedding #virginiaweddings #virginiaweddingplanner #indoorceremonysite #indoorceremonies #weddingcandles

What if I told you the table you see costs $701? 👇🏻💁🏼♀️ Y’all, I love Pinterest but I also know that our sweet couples don’t realize how much things cost and get overwhelmed quickly! So today, I’m sharing the breakdown of how this table cost $701! 💁🏼♀️ The florals were actually 3 compotes out together. The candles surrounding the florals were $35, and each compote cost $125. When you add those 3 together, you are looking at $375 for the florals and $35 for the candles, for each table! The linens were custom made to fit a square table! These linens were $78 per linen! The napkins were custom made and the couples monogram was etched into them. The cost was $12 on sale, for each! When you x that by 8 at the table, you are looking at $96 per table! The chargers were $4 a piece, or $32 per table! The menus were printed oversized and were custom made with gold foil on the couples crest! These were $7.50 each or $60 each! The pin spot cascading on the table to highlight the centerpiece was $25 per table! And that my friends is how we got to $701 per table! 🙍🏼♀️What do y’all think? Is this helpful? And is this surprising to y’all? Swipe 👉🏻to see the details even closer!
