Your grand exit is the final moment of the day—and it deserves to be just as unforgettable as your first kiss as newlyweds 💍💫

There are so many fun and creative ways to make your send-off shine. Here are some of our favorite grand exit ideas:

🌟 Sparklers – Classic, romantic, and always a crowd favorite for dreamy night photos
💨 Cold sparks – Want that WOW factor without the fire hazard? Cold spark fountains bring the drama ✨
🌸 Flower petals – Soft, sweet, and perfect for daylight ceremonies
🎉 Confetti or biodegradable glitter – For couples who want a pop of fun (and stunning photo movement!)
🫧 Bubbles – Whimsical, kid-friendly, and beautiful in golden hour lighting
💡 Glow sticks – Perfect for evening exits with a party vibe
🚘 Vintage getaway car – A stylish ride into your next chapter

Whether you want a sparkly send-off, a romantic walk through petals, or a statement getaway car, we’ll help you craft a moment that feels uniquely you.

Let’s end the night on a high note 🥂

Bridal bouquets aren’t just the perfect accessory for your big day, they are also a chance to reflect your unique style! 💐

Planning for the perfect bouquet doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
Here are some helpful tips:

1) Mix focal blooms (like roses or peonies) with supporting flowers and textured fillers (like eucalyptus, waxflower, or astilbe). Avoid using too many statement flowers as they will compete with each other.

2)The bouquet should complement, not overpower. Long, sleek dresses pair well with structured or cascading bouquets. Full-skirted gowns work beautifully with rounder, fuller bouquets.

3) Stick to the wedding’s color palette, but include a variety of tones for depth (ex: blush, mauve, and cream rather than just pink)

Send us a DM today and let us help plan your dream day with beautiful bouquets that reflect you as a couple 🫶🏻

A touch of red, a splash of white, and the perfect shade of blue 🇺🇸
Hoping you all have a fun and safe holiday weekend with family and friends!

If I were planning, decorating, or hosting a Fourth of July party, this bold balloon wall would be my go-to vibe — festive, fun, and full of flair! 🎇

06.27.25 💍 Congrats to Kelsey and Bindi!

Having a coordinator means the couple gets to relax, celebrate, and soak up every second with their family and friends — while we handle the rest and make sure their day unfolded exactly how they imagined 🫶🏼

It’s their day to be in the moment — and ours to make it seamless ✨

Here’s some photos I was able to snap from Fridays wedding but I can’t wait to see their full gallery! Such a great day and they had a great group of people there to celebrate with them!

Happy National Pet day! 🐶

Have you ever thought about including your four legged friend in your big day?! Pets truly become apart of your family and we loved seeing this guy getting to be apart of MT and Levin's big day!
