Southern Weddings

We are a full-service planning, design, and flower studio. Each aspect of your wedding deserves the highest attention to detail to ensure every moment is accounted for. I’m as passionate about planning intimate occasions for 50 guests as I am about planning a wedding for 500. I pride myself on working with a limited amount of couples each year. Taking on a limited clientele allows me to commit my heart and soul to each event as if it were my own wedding.

How I got into weddings: I fell in love with weddings when I took an event planning elective in college. We had a guest speaker do a presentation about his business in the wedding industry and I was immediately hooked. Later that week, I started my internship with them and haven’t looked back since!
Favorite thing about weddings in the South? I’ve been to weddings all over the country and no one does it better than the South. Weddings down here have a certain sentiment about them. They are full of love, tradition, and the true meaning of marriage.
Favorite part of a wedding day? My favorite part of a wedding day is when we reveal the reception space to the bride and groom before anyone else. This allows the couple to have a few moments to see the months of planning come to life. Wedding days fly by, so we always try to allow our couples to slow down and soak it all in!
Best piece of advice you can give to brides and grooms? Use your engagement to focus on what really matters. You’re not just planning for your wedding day, but for a lifetime together. Take time to go on weekly dates, attend premarital counseling, and enjoy the little things. It’s easy to get swept up in the commotion of planning, so let your vendors handle the nitty gritty for you while you enjoy the showers, parties, and months of celebrating!
