This week was a great week in the planning realm for me. I found a team of coordinators that I am THRILLED to be working with. Vikki and Shannon of
All You Need Is Love are two
amazing planners, and I could not be happier that they are going to help me with The Day. Vikki was a bride of mine last September (with the same wedding day as me and T!); a couple of her wedding photos can be seen in
this post. After talking to them this week, I immediately felt an overwhelming sense of trust and I know it in my gut that these two are going to kill it. In every good way of course. This is a definite scenario where two heads are better than one. Here's how they operate:
Vikki stays on site for the wedding from the very beginning, making sure that each detail looks right and keeping vendors on track. I feel so lucky to have someone I can pass all of the decor responsibilities off to. As a wedding florist that's not easy for me to do, but now I know that I can basically transfer all of the minute details from my brain to hers, and she will make it happen. Shannon will stick by my side all day, making sure I get to where I'm supposed to going gracefully (and on time of course) and that I have everything I need while doing so. She will be there to protect my experience of the day - a stress shield if you will. In my head I picture her throwing her arms up like Wonder Woman deflecting potential anxiety heading my way. And with a total of 20 (twenty!) people in our wedding party, I'm going to need it. I love my girls almost as much as I love my future hubby - but no matter how you slice it, that's a lot of people to wrangle, and herding cats is not my forte. If any of you engaged folks are in need, I strongly suggest
getting in touch with them. At the very least you should check out their
blog where you can find lots of helpful little tidbits and ideas. Happy planning!
