CREATIVE DIRECTION
Designing a wedding is hard, but with a little guidance, you can totally do it.
This service is perfect for couples lost in Pinterest and in need of help to refine their design ideas and take them to the next level. Maybe you have a gorgeous venue and need help making it your own. Or you are confused by all the ideas you see on Instagram and Pinterest? Feeling comfortable in bringing the design to life once you have a solid plan in place? Looking to make sure have what you need to provide to your design vendors to ease the process on both sides? This is definitely for you.
Why I Created This Service
While I love the planning side of my job, my passion has always been designing. I crave designing to uniquely combine the personalities and styles of each half of a couple while still being beautiful.
Over the years, I’ve had many inquiries for design support from clients who were excited and capable of pulling all the details together if they had some guidance. It got me thinking about what I need to flourish in unfamiliar, but exciting, creative situations. I just need reassurance and professional input to get going. I know I’m capable of doing an excellent job because I have good taste, am very logical, and am a perfectionist, so why would this be different for others?
This brought me to see a need for a service to work with couples who didn’t require support with every detail. To help couples feel empowered - that with a little guidance, they can totally do it.
The Experience
We’ll start with a thorough meeting to
discover your style, dislikes, and budget;
work through all of the ideas you’ve been seeing to create a cohesive design from stationery, florals, place settings, and whatever else we can dream up to make your wedding vision something you’re excited about;
write copy for your invitations, discuss the available printing methods;
get you familiar with the wedding industry lingo.
Post-meeting, I’ll create a custom design plan with sketches, careful notes for you and your vendors, a curated suggested vendor list, a suggested rental summary, a task list with milestones, and a design budget.
Lastly, we’ll review everything together to start you off on the right foot and ready to confidently bring your vision to life!

TESTIMONIALS
What Couples (and Vendors) Love About This Service
“While I had an idea of how I imagined our wedding would look and feel, I could not have made it as beautiful without the support from the Creative Direction service. The initial meeting, the design plan, and the incredibly thorough notes made it so easy for us to confidently bring the design together with our vendors. We didn’t even have to do research about which design vendors were trustworthy because we were given such wonderful suggestions.”
“As a florist, it can be difficult when clients come to us without a proper visual to communicate their goals. There are a lot of small details to consider which can throw a design off-course. Getting this design plan and all the notes from a planner’s perspective to carefully map out what a client needs makes the inquiry, quoting, and designing process so much smoother. I can’t wait to see my next design plan from a Creative Direction client from Laura.”
