What's one of our favorite trends?...Dogs. Period.
Dogs become such a huge part of our family - when venues allow it, we LOVE having dogs involved with the wedding day!
Also - because we love a coincidence - Happy World Animal Day!

I received the sweetest message from Jay's grandmother after his and Danielle's wedding.
We knew it was going to rain at some point on September 15, but we were hoping it would hold out until after the ceremony and were keeping a close eye on the weather. After talking with the couple, we made the decision to keep the ceremony outside even if was sprinkling a little...well, 5 minutes before the ceremony, it started sprinkling a little harder and we had to make the very quick call to switch everything to indoor. The staff at was absolutely incredible and quickly switched the reception set-up to our oscar-style backup plan. Guests were brought inside and Danielle and Jay's Ushers (bless them) helped me move the arbor, cowhide rug, and unity ceremony inside.
I'm so thankful for the patience and flexibleness of all the vendors involved, the wedding was gorgeous and we only ended up starting 15 minutes late - but quickly got right back on track!
Also, quick shout-out to (Danielle's hair stylist) and Kelly () who were guests and jumped in to help me with anything I needed!
They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, but with the family and friends that surrounded Danielle and Jay on their day, I don't know how much luckier they can get! 🤍

✨ Spotlight ✨ Morgan Johnson ✨
Morgan is the owner and Lead Planner of Sunflower Events.
Morgan is a Kansas native, she grew up in Johnson County and moved to Wichita in 2017 after finishing her bachelor's in Southeast Texas.
After planning her own wedding in 2020 and 2021, she realized that she really enjoyed all the research and the planning aspect that went into weddings. She took the leap only one month after her own wedding and started Sunflower Events in November of 2021.
Morgan had never felt a true "calling" to a career until she coordinated her first wedding. Watching the bride, groom, and their families enjoy a stress-free day was an absolute dream and now she strives to make that dream come true for all her couples.
In her free time, Morgan enjoys reading, spending time with her friends, and hiking with her husband and their dog.

One of the things I love most about detail photos is that they are all unique.
Hear me out - yes, almost all have the invites, the shoes, rings, etc. etc. etc...but look deeper. There are little things in there that mean so much to the couple: the pin with family charms that is tucked into the bouquet, the Groom's cufflinks, and of course all of the somethings (old, new, borrowed, blue).
These are all the special pieces that mean more to the couple than the food that was served or the song played to open the dance floor...the true memories are in the details.

✨ Spotlight ✨ Hayley Dannenberg ✨
Hayley is our newest member of Sunflower Events and actually joined the team after being a Sunflower Events Bride!
Hayley was born and raised in Wichita and she absolutely loves this community. She received her bachelor's degree in Strategic Communications in 2021 and loves all things event planning, branding, and marketing.
After graduating during a pandemic when not many events were being held, her heart was telling her she belonged in the classroom. She became a teacher in the Fall of 2022. Joining the Sunflower Events Team has given her the opportunity to pursue both of her passions!
Hayley has not only taken on the roll of Assistant Coordinator but is also helping to take over our social media and website design. She has already refreshed our logo and our website and we are excited to see the other places she'll take us!
Sunflower Events has worked with Hayley when she was a bridesmaid and a bride - so it's only fitting that she joins the team! We are so incredibly excited to have Hayley, it will only be great things from here on out!

✨ Spotlight ✨ Kayla Saens ✨
Kayla is SO excited to be working with Sunflower Events and we are even more excited to have her!
Kayla is a Wichita local, but she grew up and graduated high school in Kingman, Kansas. She has officially been back in Wichita since 2017.
The last 4 years of Kayla's professional career have been spent working various jobs in social services. During that time, she discovered that she loved helping others and working with people. She loves being organized and challenged in everything she does...which makes her perfect for this job!
Kayla fell in love with weddings when she ended up coordinating her brother's wedding. She loved being able to make his day special, memorable, and stress-free. Her wedding morning includes a muscle relaxation video, relaxing music to get ready, and oatmeal to take on the go...we should all strive to relax as much as Kayla!
Kayla always has a smile on her face and is more than willing to jump in and help where she can. She soaks up information like a sponge and we cannot wait to see the things she learns with Sunflower Events!

✨ Spotlight ✨ Emily Peltier ✨
Emily is newer to the Sunflower Events Team, but she's not new to wedding planning and coordinating! She graduated high school in 2022 but has been assisting on weddings since 2020...talk about a passion!
Emily is an insurance agent by day and a movie lover by night. It's no wonder she fell in love with wedding planning after watching J Lo's classic (The Wedding Planner, for those non-movie lovers).
You can always find Emily crying in a corner during the first dance or the father / daughter dance. She loves seeing how special and unique each wedding is and she loves helping couples have the smooth and stress-free day they have been dreaming of!
We are so excited to have Emily on the team. This September she will be acting as Lead Coordinator for the first time with Sunflower Events. We know she will be incredible and cannot wait to see all the amazing things she does for us!

If you ever wonder where I got my planning and organizational skills…I got it from my momma!! ( )
She is one of the most creative, thoughtful, and talented people I know. With the exception of the pinwheels and the tops of the UCM cupcakes (shoutout Ohmygoodies LLC by Sara Jean) she made and put together almost everything for my little brother’s graduation party today - and did I mention today is also her birthday?!?!
Thanks for everything you do, mom. But most of all, thank you for always supporting my dreams.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, moms-to-be, mother figures, pet moms, and anyone else who has taken a motherly role. Today we celebrate YOU! 🤍
Happy Easter to all! Wishing you all a blessed day with lots of love and chocolate bunnies! 🐰 🐣

Good luck and as always, thanks for supporting my small business 🤍
After a year of business I've learned so much about myself and my strengths. I've also been able to talk with and observe other vendors in the area and the services they offer. After the VOW event this past weekend, I've done some serious thinking about what the future holds for Sunflower Events.
I have decided to restructure my services. This will not affect anyone who has already signed a contract with Sunflower Events. It will also not affect upcoming scheduled consultations or those who schedule as a result of talking with me at the Bridal Expo (through Feb. 28). I will honor the exclusive Bridal Expo that I have offered or you can choose one of the new packages and I will offer a discount.
My services page will be down for a few days while it is updated. Please reach out via DM or my Contact Form on my website if you would like information. The new Services page will be available on Wednesday, February 1.
Thank you all for your support. I love you all and I cannot wait to keep helping dreams come true!
Always Have ✨ Always Will
This is your sign to have a designated backdrop / background for photos! Your guests will take photos with each other (and you) whether or not you have a photobooth, so make sure those photos look great!
Long post - but worth the read.
On Christmas Day, I received an email from with a screenshot of a post from Ashtin. My heart dropped. We were 6 days away from what should have been the happiest day of our couple’s life and tragedy had struck.
On Christmas Eve, one of Ashtin’s bridesmaids, Melina Chavez, was in a car accident. She was taken to the hospital, but passed away in the early hours of Christmas Day.
I texted Ashtin and told her how sorry I was. We scheduled a call for the next day to discuss what this meant for the wedding. Ashtin told me about Melina - she was the life of the party, selfless, and the most loyal person. Ashtin said this put the wedding stress into perspective. She was concerned about having enough skewers for the chocolate fountain - now, she didn’t care. Ashtin wanted to remember Melina during the wedding day, but without the sadness and grief - Melina wouldn’t have wanted that.
Melina’s celebration of life was on Thursday and her funeral was the day before the wedding. Almost the entire wedding party came directly from the funeral to the rehearsal, dressed in black with tear-stained faces.
On the wedding day, I was floored at how everyone kept it together for Ashtin and John. The Bridesmaids/men were incredible, especially since Melina had been one of their best friends too. Melina’s bouquet was in the front row so Ashtin could see it and know that Melina was there. Her dress sat at the head table because Melina would have never missed this day.
Ashtin said Melina would be there - and she was. She helped make their day perfect. We thought the chocolate fountain wasn’t going to run - Melina made sure it did. We thought we were going to run out of cake plates - Melina made sure we didn’t. And when Ashtin and John departed, the bridesmaids/men brought her dress to the send-off and we knew she was there to bless Ashtin and John in their marriage.
If you are struggling with wedding stress, think about the people that are standing next to you and supporting you through your marriage. They are much more important than flowers or place settings. Sometimes that’s easy to forget. Thank you, Melina, for that reminder.
Happy Opposite Day!
This piece of art is what happens when you think outside the box with a couple that has a big soft spot for ICT!
Living my absolute best life at my first Bridal Expo! I’m so incredibly proud of how much this business has grown in the last year and the skills I’ve developed from it! Not to mention, I got SO lucky with two of the best assistants I could have asked for! 🤍
One more day for the at 🤍
It's set-up day for the Wichita Bridal Expo!
I cannot WAIT to meet all of the bride and grooms-to-be and to introduce you to the Sunflower Events team.
Come visit us at Booth #262 to learn all about wedding planning and coordination for your big day!
See you soon!
I am SO excited to introduce you all to another new Assistant Coordinator, Kayla Saens!
Kayla is a Wichita local, but actually grew up in Kingman, KS. She moved to Wichita in 2017 after graduating from Hutchinson Community College. She finished her Bachelors in Psychology at WSU in 2019. (Fun fact - I moved to Wichita in 2017 and graduated from WSU in 2019 with my Masters...so fun that we were there at the same time, who knew our paths would cross like this!)
Since graduating from WSU, she has spent time working in social services. She absolutely loves helping others and working with people. She also has an innate need to be organized in challenged in everything she does.
Kayla discovered her passion for the wedding industry when she was a bridesmaid in her brother's wedding. She said, "I found myself coordinating the entire wedding, simply because I wanted his big day to be special, memorable, and stress free for him and my now sister-in-law."
Kayla's organizational and people skills are going to make her a wonderful asset to the Sunflower Events team! Welcome aboard!
I am THRILLED to introduce you all to one of my new Assistant Coordinators, Rachel Doggett!
Rachel was born and raised in Wichita and absolutely loves ICT. You may recognize her from Wichita Country Club or from the 6 times she's been a bridesmaid! (I think she's pretty familiar with weddings!)
Rachel has spent most of her career in early childhood education and has developed many skills in managing different personalities, de-escalation, and organization.
When she isn't shopping for bridesmaid dresses or wrangling little ones, she enjoys traveling, literature, and spending time with friends.
Rachel mentioned, "Weddings are such a precious time, where two become one, and helping make that happen is one of my favorite things."
Welcome Rachel! We are so excited to have you on the Sunflower Events team!
✨Happy New Year!✨
So thankful for all of our 2022 couples and can’t wait to see what 2023 holds!
30 mile-an-hour winds on a rainy day sure do make for a gorgeous picture!
My sister is engaged! ✨
I’m so happy for you both and I cannot wait to add another brother! Congratulations Abby and Brandon! 🤍
