Your flowers are undeniably the star of your wedding day decor. No matter the season or theme you've chosen - be it a whimsical summer affair, an ethereal winter wonderland, a blooming spring celebration, or a cozy fall fête - finding a skilled florist who really knows what they’re doing can make the difference. You need someone who not only understands your creative vision but can also create breathtaking bouquets for you and your bridesmaids, along with boutonnieres for the groom and his groomsmen.

officiants

Somewhere on the long list of things to do before your wedding day is figuring out who you’d like to officiate your wedding. Choosing the right person for the job can feel daunting - they not only officiate your wedding, but some officiants also provide premarital counseling for you and your partner beforehand! Whether you are opting for a religious officiant or a secular one, you want to make sure whoever you choose is right for you.
