As a wedding planner, every wedding I manage has its own unique story, but Allison’s wedding was truly something special. This day was made even more meaningful because it wasn’t my first time working with her wonderful family—earlier in the year, I had the honor of planning her sister Rebecca’s wedding. While Rebecca’s wedding was a vibrant citrus garden party, Allison’s celebration had an entirely different vibe, showcasing her bold, modern style with black accents and minimalist white decor. Today, I’m thrilled to share more about Allison’s stunning wedding.
A Modern Vision with Bold Elements
Allison’s wedding was nothing short of striking. From the moment I stepped into the venue, it was clear her vision had come to life. The bold black accents paired with clean white decor created a sleek, modern aesthetic that was as elegant as it was dramatic. Everything, from the floral arrangements by Hye Studio to the carefully curated table settings, reflected Allison’s impeccable taste. Walking into the space felt like stepping into a chic monochromatic dream.
One of the most memorable details was the candle favors, lovingly handcrafted by Allison and Rebecca’s mom. These thoughtful touches added warmth and a personal element to the celebration, making guests feel truly special.
Adding to the uniqueness of the day, Allison and Maclean took some of their wedding portraits at The Fox, the bar where they had their first touch—a moment that brought a sense of nostalgia and intimacy to their modern celebration. It was a beautiful way to incorporate a meaningful location into their wedding story, blending the past and the present seamlessly.
Seamless Coordination Behind the Scenes
As a wedding planner, much of my work happens behind the scenes to ensure everything runs seamlessly. For Allison’s big day, my role included confirming vendor arrivals, managing the timeline, and troubleshooting any last-minute challenges—all while ensuring the couple and their family could fully enjoy the celebration.
Watching Allison and Maclean exchange vows was a highlight of the day, as the love and joy in the room were absolutely palpable.The reception was just as breathtaking as the ceremony. DJ Tedd Music kept the energy high on the dance floor, while Sweet-E’s crafted a stunning cake that was as delicious as it was beautiful. Every detail came together perfectly, creating an unforgettable celebration.
A Family Connection
While the day was all about Allison, it was impossible not to feel the connection to her sister Rebecca’s wedding earlier in the year. Rebecca’s citrus garden party had been vibrant and playful, while Allison’s modern aesthetic brought a bold and dramatic energy. Despite their different styles, both weddings were tied together by the same core values: family, love, and connection.
Seeing so many familiar faces from Rebecca’s wedding made the day feel like a reunion, and it was a true joy to be welcomed back by such a warm and kind family. The joy and laughter shared at The Fox during their first touch photos only reinforced this sense of connection—it felt like a beautiful full-circle moment.
The Joy of Collaboration
Allison’s wedding was a beautiful reminder of the power of teamwork. From the talented vendors to the incredible family, everyone played a part in making the day extraordinary. It was an honor to be part of Allison’s journey and to help her bring her vision to life.
To Allison and her family: thank you for trusting me with such a meaningful moment. Your love, kindness, and warmth made this day unforgettable, and I’m so grateful to have been part of your story.
