These are a few of my favorite things:

Pick your own florals

The couple, their family, and their wedding party went the day before to Rainbow Springs Flower Farm and spent time picking out their own flowers. This is my favorite thing for many reasons. One, because they all raved about it the next day. Saying how beautiful it was and what a fun experience they had. Two, because…how special to get to pick out your wedding florals the day before with all of your closest people?! And three, because it was the perfect “day before” activity as they got in the mindset of wedding and allowed them to spend extra time with their people. Did I mention that the florals were perfect? They fit the mood and color palette of the day amazingly.

Here’s what the couple had to say:

“You won’t go wrong if you go with PDC. The Perfect Day Co. is a reliable, communicative, skillful, and a caring team to work with. Stella was absolutely amazing. She listened to our visions, supported our boundaries, made us laugh, and was just generally a joy to share the day with. I would like to specifically include how I loved that this team appeared to be a female powerhouse. Amber, clearly knows what she is doing and understands how important it is to execute details and plans to make your big day fabulous. I absolutely recommend them if you are looking for day of coordination!! Thank you guys so much!”

the. dress.

The bride sent me a photo of her dress as a sneak peek a few weeks before their wedding, and when I say my jaw was on the floor! It was even more stunning in person. I just kept telling her “you look insane!!” It was so unique, fit her ethereal vibes stunningly, and yet will be timeless when looking back at her photos. The train on the dress was also so good. It was a true dress fluff moment as she walked down the aisle to her soon to be husband. Just wait till you see the photos (below ;))

Endless party

Sometimes at a wedding you worry the dance floor wont be full, or people will tire out quickly. That was not the case for this crew. They were ready to dance the second they sat down for dinner and they danced, hard, until the last second. The floor was covered in sweat and drinks from all the fun the group was having. The couple also provided glow wands for the dance floor, which we brought out about thirty minutes into dancing. This made the guests even more hype. I barely made it to the dance floor before all the wands in my box were gone and in the hands of guests, already lighting up the party even more. It was so fun, especially to see the guests show up and match the energy of the couple!
