It’s no secret that after a wedding things get tossed, but DON’T LET IT BE YOUR FLOWERS❗️

Alternative’s ideas:

🌸 Ask if your bridal party, guests or VENDORS would like to take any home. You will brighten some vendors days if they could take home a bouquet or centerpiece for their home or to a loved one.

🌻Line up to have some of your flowers preserved for a lifetime through talented artists like

🌺 Ask your planner or florist if they could donate them to a local nursing home, assisted care, shelter or children’s home after your event. I cannot tell you home many van loads of flowers I have donated to facilities after events and Every. Single. Time. I am met with with big smiles and lots and happy remarks like: “those are soooo pretty”, “they smell so good”, “that must have been such a pretty wedding”, “thank you so much for thinking of us and sharing these flowers”, “these flowers brightened my day” and on and on the comments go.

Take one more step in planning this part of your event! Your flowers don’t have to be thrown away before providing beauty and smiles in the days after your wedding! 🥰

The Ukrainian Bread Ceremony 🍞

I loved that Angela and Yehor decided to incorporate this Ukrainian element into their ceremony. In this tradition the mother of the groom presents the couple with a Korovai (ornate Ukrainian bread) that is meant to symbolize many things such as their two families becoming one, wealth, fertility, beauty, blessings, future prosperity, and their eternal love.

During the ceremony the bride and groom each will grab part of the bread and try to tear off a piece. Tradition says that whoever tears off the bigger piece will “rule the house”. 😎

Look through this series of photos to find who broke off the bigger piece and enjoy the many facial expressions along the way. 😂

Who says your bridal party numbers have to be equal? 👭👭👭🚫🟰👬👬

I have had couples stress in the past about wanting to make sure they have an even ratio of bridesmaids and groomsmen, but the truth is it doesn’t really matter! We will make it work in your ceremony, photos and seating chart no matter how many people are in your bridal party! So don’t stress, just choose those people that you 💯 need to be up standing by you and don’t worry about stretching your numbers to make things “even”. 😉

Meow•garita anyone?! 🐈🍹🐾

I love when the couple’s favorite things get pulled into all the areas of their wedding event. Angela & Yegor’s playful love for kitties was one of the underlying themes throughout wedding day that was woven in here and there. The use of a cat drink stir and custom drink name/sign was one fun way to pull it into the bar for the evening. Purrrrfect if you ask me?! 😉

Why book a coordinator or planner?

It comes down to how much do you and your loved ones want to work or feel pressure/stress leading up to and on your wedding day VERSUS having a professional planner/coordinator represent you and take care of things on your behalf.

Sure you can plan your own event and you can even run around coordinating your own wedding day, but WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO! Your wedding day is supposed to be a time of special cherished lifetime memories. Don’t break your back trying to do absolutely everything or place the burden on a loved one. You will both end up missing your day and wishing you had a coordinator to work your event instead.

Venue coordinators are awesome, but they ultimately represent the venue by handling venue related things versus representing you and your personal needs/desires.

🌿 Meghan & Liam 🌿

This wedding was the epitome of serene mountain relaxation. I loved how this event captured the couple’s personalities in that it was quiet, intentional, peace-filled and had an organic artsy feel that made for such a special event filled with love 💕 , harp music 🎶and greenery🌱. When I say ever wedding is unique I truly mean every wedding is ✨unique✨!

Don’t be afraid to stick with what makes y’all’s event y’all ! Whether that means including e v e r y t h i n g OR keeping it simple and straightforward. Both styles of events are perfect in their own way! 🥰

The heart behind THIO.

Hi! My name is Jordan Hunt.

I am a happy wife and blessed mother of 2 (Quinn 3, Henry due in May 2020) with a joy for weddings and a deep knack for organization. I first started coordinating weddings several years ago when a dear friend asked for my help with her big day. I was so honored and ecstatic to aid in making her wedding day effortless and beautiful. From that wedding on, I was fully inspired by the idea of helping brides make their wedding day wishes come true by owning my own wedding coordinating business one day.

Being that I was a DIY bride myself, my purpose is simple: I want to help brides by making their wedding days as low stress and easy as possible. I do this by being the bride’s biggest advocate and by offering them a steady reliable hand to lean on, cause let’s face it despite wedding day’s reputations of being wonderful they also can be incredibly stressful leading up to the day. I want my experience with every bride to feel genuine, transparent, and ultimately relaxed by developing a level of trust/comfort with one another. I want to build a positive relationship with my brides, rather than process a transaction. I care for the individuals that I work with and believe every wedding/marriage is a special gift that is to be cherished.

I would be honored to help make your day easy, love-filled, and memorable by taking your worries and carrying out your wishes so that you can fully enjoy one of the happiest days of your life.
