DIY Plans

There are lots of reasons for choosing to be a DIY Bride.
Some simply love to plan and create – plus want complete control of their wedding day, including the decor and much more.
Others, while desiring to make this day very special, simply want to save some dollars because they have other priorities for their money.
Either way, we would love to help you.
You may simply rent the beautiful venue and virtually do everything yourself!*
Or
Our Simple Elegance Plan may be a perfect option for you! We are here to help you in whatever capacity you like – letting you be in charge of planning and designing your day – all the fun parts – but available for advice should you want it. We do believe no wedding should be attempted without a great Coordinator! They will help you with your timeline and table arrangement as you need. Then, when it comes to the actual day, we believe you (and your mom, etc.) should be able to relax and enjoy the day, and let us do all the work for you! We have some great recommendations for coordinators to help you make this happen.
