This weekend was a busy one here at Lauren Chitwood Events.  All hands were on deck for these two big weddings.  I like to think of it like the movie, “The Wedding Weekend.”  The days were long and exhausting, but the excitement on the Brides’faces makes it so worth it.  As an intern for Lauren, as time goes on, I am constantly more and more surprised by what goes into the wedding planning process. It never ceases to amaze me how much Lauren Chitwood Events offers to its’ clients.

Saturday’s wedding began with an early 6:00 a.m.  All eight of us were ready to go and began with transporting all the beautiful florals to the reception site.  With air conditioning blowing strong in a caravan of vans, we make our way (well below the speed limit) to Mellwood Arts Center.  All linens and were set up and bows were tied.  Lighting and centerpieces were placed and looked beautiful.  The big test for the day was the creation of “trees” around four large columns in the middle of the room.  With bunches and bunches of curly willow, multiple trips to the supply store (these things were amazing but tough!), and sweet little tea lights, we created a masterpiece.  The industrial feel of Mellwood was now transformed into a romantic and woodsy scene.

Sunday’s wedding was a little less labor intensive,  but just as wonderful.  The Gillespie was a lovely setting for the cocktail hour and reception after a Greek Orthodox wedding.  One of the best things about working with Lauren Chitwood Events is that the personalities of the Bride and Groom always shine through.  Sunday’s bride was so fun and bubbly and really wanted her florals to reflect that.  She loves feathers and the color pink, so her centerpieces and bouquets were made up of fun flowers and crazy white feathers.

In addition to the set up and coordination, Lauren takes care of her brides in every other way on their special wedding day.  She makes sure that her bride has nothing to worry about and can only enjoy herself.  The team takes care of everything from decorating the hotel room to guarding and delivering the gifts, even picking up the couple’s dry cleaning the next day.  We are there to run errands, hold bouquets and shoes, and give encouragement whenever needed.  I can’t imagine how a couple would manage how much goes into the wedding day without Lauren. From early morning set up to late night tear down, the bride and groom are off the hook and can only relax. It never ceases to amaze me how much Lauren Chitwood Events offers to its’ clients when compared to other event planning companies.  Lauren really goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of her clients.

To Long Weekends & Couples in Love,
