Best decision ever!
Hands down, the absolute BEST decision that we made during our wedding planning process was working with Blush Bouquet Wedding Planners!!!
I was the type of bride who was verrrry particular. I had a vision of what I wanted, but was a little bit overwhelmed and was not sure how we would ultimately get there. I did my research, and after speaking with several potential planner candidates, I can honestly say that going with Blush Bouquet Wedding Planners was a no brainer for me. While other planners were rigid on where their role began and ended (i.e. exactly what they were willing to help with), Bari (the owner) was completely flexible to do whatever it took to bring our vision to life. She customized her planning service package to fit my needs, and adjusted pricing accordingly to ensure that it made the most sense for both parties— if you’ve been planning a wedding for 5 minutes you’ll understand how unique that is. From the moment we chatted during my initial consultation with Blush Bouquet Wedding Planners, I knew that they would transform our wedding day dreams into a reality.
Bari was hyper-organized— she created an unbelievable, Google doc to share our guest list, track budget, and document all of our wedding timeline and details as we progressed towards our wedding date. She checked-in with me constantly! She and her team were a phenomenal source of wedding inspo, and helped me to research and come up with some really creative ideas that our guests really appreciated! Bari always inquired to see what she could help take off my plate, and made sure we were abiding by our established goals from a timeline perspective, which helped keep me on track.
Bari was an amazing advocate, and was integral in helping us to finalize contracts with hotels for guest blocks, and key vendors for our special day. Through her extensive contacts in the wedding industry, she was able to help negotiate on our behalf to get us some amazing discounts which saved us a great deal of money. She has close ties to individuals in the printing industry and because of this, I was able to work with a designer to create custom invitations from scratch— I can’t tell you how many compliments we received from our guests on the invitations alone!!
As we approached our wedding, when all of our major planning was done and everything started to become “more real”, Bari scheduled time just to check-in on how I was feeling. She always had a way of reassuring me that we were good to go, and whenever we encountered hurdles, she provided me with solutions that put me at ease as the big day approached. While the rest of the vendors I worked with were much more transactional, Bari genuinely cared about me and my future husband. I can’t even really tell you how important this piece was to me during the final weeks, and it gave me such a sense of confidence and reaffirmed my faith in both her and her team.
On the wedding day itself, Bari and her Blush Bouquet Wedding Planners team absolutely blew us out of the water!!! They were early, and had such a calming presence for both me and my bridal party. They kept us 100% on schedule at all times, which really allowed me to just let go of all stress and be present in the moment on our special day. I had an urgent situation arise with my wedding dress (as a result of a poor seamstress decision on my part), and Bari, who, in magical turn of events, also happens to have some seamstress expereience, was on her hands and knees making all of the necessary adjustments to my dress. No one had any idea that we had literally altered it moments before I walked down the aisle!! She had her team on-site at our reception venue location coordinating everything to make sure that every single detail that we outlined together was executed to perfection. They held our vendors accountable to our vision and timelines, and if any issues occurred throughout the night we were completely unaware of them because Bari and her team handled. Throughout the evening Bari and her team ensured that my groom and I had enough to eat and drink, and also made sure that our immediate family and bridal party members were taken care of! At the end of the night when it was time to leave, Bari and her team packed everything up for us, and by the time we got back to the hotel it was all neatly organized already in our suite.
We had the absolute best time on our wedding day— my husband and I so were able to feel completely carefree (BEYOND rare for me) and euphorically happy and in love, and I can truthfully say that Bari and her team blessed us with that luxury because we were able to trust them whole heartedly. To this day our guests keep assuring us that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and I attribute this victory to the efforts of Bari and her team.
To Bari and the Blush Bouquet Wedding Planners team, words truly cannot express my gratitude for everything that you have done for myself, my husband, and our families. You are beyond talented, and more importantly, you are truly incredible people. I am so lucky to have found you, and I will continue to scream your praises from the rooftop for years to come!
