If you're a bride, you know that things have changed a little bit since the day you got engaged, you started making plans right away and every step it's a roller coaster of emotions that will follow you until your wedding day. Being a bride in the past, I understand the need of being surrounded by professionals that not only provide you with beautiful and organized work but you also treat you as a special person and not just a number.

Chrys is an ANGEL and I truly would book her over and over again. She made not only me, but my mother and bridesmaids, feel like perfection for my wedding day. She is a magician at what she does. She listens to every request but also is so good at what she does that I had complete faith in telling her “do whatever you think.” She was one of the best wedding vendors we worked with.

Bryanna was kind and professional from beginning to end. After our trial appointment, I unfortunately ended up losing my hair due to alopecia. I asked Bryanna if she would be able to style a wig. She did some research and agreed to do it even though she had never done it before. My bridal hair came out so beautifully. I couldn't have asked for more kindness, talent, and professionalism.

We will turn your beautiful vision into an extraordinary reality!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Blossom and Bee were one of the approved vendors on our venue's list. It was an easy process working with Penny and her team. I was able to pin inspo pictures on a Pinterest board as well as share pictures of my dress, my husband's tux, and our wedding invitation suite. As a bride of Indian origin, I wanted bright spring florals that also complimented the industrial/French look of our venue. I was overwhelmed by the number of color combinations I was interested in and the team helped me narrow down to the best color scheme. Something to note is that you will need to provide bud vases and rent floral stands from B&B if that is something you want in your decor. Luckily my venue provided a moon gate that could be used for the ceremony, and the venue staff repurposed the florals from the ceremony to the sweetheart table.

Working with Mandy was an absolute dream! For my makeup trial, I gave her a reference photo and she copied it exactly. She took my very minimal comments from the trial and implemented them perfectly for the big day—I’ve never felt so beautiful! I love Mandy’s style because I’m not someone who wears makeup regularly, and she made sure I still felt like myself. She enhanced all my features in such a natural, effortless way. My makeup put stayed all night and looked fantastic in photos. Mandy was also incredibly professional and organized. She provided a detailed timeline for myself, my bridal party, mom and (now) mother-in-law for the wedding day, which was so helpful for coordinating with my hair artist and keeping everything running smoothly. She was always prompt and responsive via email. I can’t recommend Mandy enough!

Alex at DJ Experience was phenomenal. He helped us out every step of the way and was an absolute guide as to how the entire evening could be organized! The music was phenomenal and Alex was able to get the crowd on the dance floor with ease. Thank you for making our wedding so special Alex!
