Life as an Asheville Wedding Planner :: Working With Brittany

 

A few weekends ago I got to work with Brittany, one of Verge’s wedding planners, on a wedding at Lake Lure, North Carolina.

If I could describe Brittany in one word it would be sweetheart.  Brittany has a certain style to the way that she works.  She gets the job done in an efficient and successful manner, but she has a smile on her face the entire time while doing it.  One of my favorite moments while working with Brittany was a guest at the wedding came up to her and first congratulated her on the wedding, and then told her that she has a sense of confidence to her.  That when you look at her while she is working you immediately know that everything is going to be okay and all will be taken care of.  However, not only is Brittany a sweetheart she can silence a room in about two seconds.  When I attended the rehearsal with Brittany some of the groomsmen were a little rowdy.  Brittany knew how to make a bunch of men be quiet, listen to her, and follow directions while she was still being her sweet self.

Some tips that I learnt from Brittany:

1) Hide sparklers! Make sure you hide the sparklers until the time that they need to be used.  Otherwise, if a guest finds them before hand they will mostly likely get lit.

2) When it comes to the garter toss makes sure the bride switches back to her heels! This way she will have pretty shoes on for the pictures!

3) Glitter! Glitter gets everywhere! Beware!

please be seated 🌿🪑🌿 a beautiful way to welcome your guests! ⁠
⁠
also, these things just do not line up on the first go 🤣 and the moss wall does not just stand up on its own [thank you @floressenceflowers!] there is math involved, a person on a chair, and someone telling said person on the chair if it is even, and so many push pins! and if it is raining, which it was, you have to make sure the paper doesn't get all damp and not lay right!⁠
we keep saying it, and we will say it again - details matter.⁠

thank you for the capture @rachelandnoahray with @floressenceflowers @lakeedenretreat @professionalparty!
A moment for the cake and the florals 🌸🍰🌸⁠ One thing we always hear - how can we reuse the flowers from the ceremony? if you have ground floral behind the chairs at ceremony, those can be moved during cocktail hour and placed before your guests enter the reception! bonus points if no one sees you do it ;) also... an arbor just c.a.n.n.o.t be moved in its entirety, so if repurposing is important to you, this is something to think about!⁠

shoutout to the team! @flatmountainfarm @floressenceflowers @eastcoastentertainment @dollboxproductions @professionalparty⁠
