Forever Moments

06/21/2025

Brittney here: Forever Moments is 3 years old! I'm in disbelief that it's been this long; I feel like just yesterday I left my music teaching career to start a family and transition into event planning. It's been a long journey to get to this point- my team and I have helped over 50 couples plan, design, and coordinate their wedding day, and we're so blessed to continue helping all our latter 2025 and 2026 couples! I've poured countless hours into everything that needs to be done to run a business: website design, social media posts, ongoing education, daily email replies, payroll and taxes, and much more. It can be overwhelming at times, but just as I said when I first decided to start my business, as long as I always put God first, He will lead me down the right path, and I am proud of where Forever Moments stands today.

That being said, we have a couple of big and exciting changes coming soon, starting with a new logo and website revamp! We're almost done making these changes and can't wait to show you! I've also decided that starting in the latter half of 2026, I will be taking less weddings to start homeschooling my firstborn! It's going to be a huge transition for our family, and first and foremost, I care about having a good work/life balance, and this decision was made to give enough individualized attention to both my family and my couples. To make this transition easier, I will be only accepting full-service couples starting in the latter half of 2026, and our amazing lead coordinator Cassie will be in charge of all our coordination couples moving forward! If you are one of my 2 coordination couples for fall 2026, don't worry, this doesn't apply to you, and I'm still your coordinator 😉

That's all the updates for now! We appreciate each and every one of you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to sharing this next chapter of our business with you!

*Record Scratch* Yep, that's me. You must be wondering why I'm sitting on the ground, hiding behind the bride and groom.

Well it all starts on a beautiful summer afternoon at . Alex and Jazmine have said their I do's and the guests are now mingling at cocktail hour while the wedding party takes photos. The vendor team is making some final touches to the reception room and opening the doors for the guests to begin being seated. Then, as the wedding party makes their way over to line up for the grand entrance, Jazmine tells me that during the photos, she believes someone stepped on her bustle and part of the bustle ripped. Her dress is partly dragging on one side, and while it didn't prevent her from moving about, it was still very noticeable. I tell her that I can try to sew it back up with the sewing kit in my emergency bag. Once dinner started, I sat behind the couple and began to work. When speeches started, I just ducked my head to make sure I wasn't in the line of sight for the photo/video team, and caught this moment on camera. Once finished, the couple was ready to dance the night away with no worries!

Moral of the story? Always come prepared with a wedding emergency kit. Having one handy will bring peace of mind in case of minor issues that can arise on the day of, such as this instance.

Most wedding planners include an emergency kit for the wedding day, and whether you are engaged, a wedding party member, wedding planner, venue, or wedding pro, we highly recommend having a conversation about an emergency kit for the wedding day!
