Why I’m doing this:

I offer this call because I’ve seen how much early decisions shape everything that comes after — and sometimes you just need to talk things out with someone in the industry, without pressure or expectations.  There are no contracts, no promises, and no deliverables.  You don’t even need to hire me moving forward.

Aligning your design and vision early can be incredibly helpful in shaping the direction of your search, especially when you’re narrowing ideas from the endless inspiration out there. When couples have space to talk through ideas, priorities, and realities before committing, the rest of the process tends to feel more aligned and far less stressful.

I love the early design process — when you’re just beginning to figure out what a celebration of your love story looks like. Sometimes, a thoughtful, low-stakes conversation is all it takes to feel grounded, confident, and ready to begin your wedding journey.

The Design Foundation Call is a focused, early-stage conversation for couples who want guidance around what to consider as they begin planning their wedding — especially when it comes to design, florals, and the overall feel of the day.

This is not event planning, and it’s not a session where decisions are made for you.  Instead, it’s a chance to talk through ideas, priorities, and possibilities with an experienced wedding designer, so you understand how your choices connect — and what questions are worth asking — before you move forward.

Whether you’re still exploring venues, narrowing a vision, or simply looking for a knowledgeable sounding board, this call helps you approach the process with more clarity and intention, rather than guessing as you go.

What this call is for:

• Clarifying your aesthetic direction and overall design goals

• Understanding how different types of spaces influence floral and decor needs

• Identifying design considerations that often impact budgets later on

• Outlining what to think about as you move forward into the next phase of planning

• Answering questions and offering perspective based on real wedding experience

What this call is not:

• Event planning or coordination

• Venue selection or vendor management

• A custom floral proposal or design plan

• Decision-making on your behalf

If you later choose to move forward with us for full floral design, the consultation fee is applied as a credit toward your proposal.  If not, the call serves as a valuable starting point — helping you feel more informed, prepared, and confident as your wedding love story unfurls.
