Bustle & Lace Went ABOVE AND BEYOND!!
Michelle & her team at Bustle & Lace were truly the highlight of our wedding. Michelle was recommended to us by another vendor, and immediately her responses were kind, thoughtful, and prompt. We worked together for a year & she was always on top of everything. She even did stuff for me behind the scenes that I didn't even know I had to get done. She was just so natural - she felt like a friend. We were the first to be getting married in our families and friends so we were new to this wedding planning stuff & she helped guide us to a perfect day. She took on extra calls, drove out to pick up stuff from me for the wedding, dropped off our marriage certificate, communicated with our vendors leading up to the wedding, lead our rehearsal the night before, checked in while we were getting ready on the day of, and so much more. Our guests and families even commented about how amazing they were. I wish words could describe how much I appreciated working with Michelle & her team, but they never will. In a time of stress & excitement, she was a calm, nurturing voice that helped guide us to a seamless day. I'm so grateful to have crossed paths with her & worked alongside her during this super special time in our lives. Thank you again. 3
Amazing Coordination for Our Indian-fusion Wedding
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Michelle (Bustle & Lace) as our wedding coordinator at Sarabande Chicago, and I can't imagine our day without her support. Our wedding was a bit complex, it included a Hindu ceremony in the morning, followed by a break, then a traditional American-style cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Michelle handled every piece with grace and precision. Having had an Indian-fusion wedding herself, she was especially knowledgeable about many of the cultural details involved, which made us feel even more confident and understood throughout the process. One of the things that drew us to her was her unique coordination model, where we met with her every few months for a year leading up to the wedding. My husband and I knew that we wanted to stay very involved in the decision-making that went into wedding planning, and her package was the perfect fit for that. Even though we did a lot ourselves, Michelle’s expertise, thoughtful feedback, and vendor connections made the entire process feel guided and manageable. We actually enjoyed wedding planning more than we expected—largely because of her insight and support. She offered incredibly helpful input on our choices and timeline, and provided so much value long before the wedding day was even close. As we entered the final month, her coordination ramped up. She took the lead with our vendors, helped us stay on top of all our final tasks, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. She also led our venue walkthrough with the full vendor team, helped with setup the day before, and made sure we felt confident heading into the big day. On the wedding day itself, Michelle was a calm, steady, behind-the-scenes presence. If anything went wrong, we never knew—she handled it all. She checked in with us the perfect amount to make sure we were eating, feeling good, and truly enjoying ourselves. Thanks to her, I was able to feel fully present and at ease, soaking in every moment of the day. I’m so deeply grateful for the peace of mind Michelle gave us—not just on the wedding day, but throughout the entire process. She’s a true professional, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a thoughtful, supportive, and experienced coordinator.
Necessary support for DIYish brides!
Michelle was an excellent resource and support from our first call to the days after our wedding where she submitted our marriage license. We used her day of coordination service which is much more than just “day of.” As someone who was planning on her own (some help from the hubby), it was such a great pulse check when we talked to Michelle and she kept me on track and helped me remember the little details. She has a ton of resources and honestly all of that help was BEFORE the day of coordinating even began. Flawless execution of our rehearsal and timeline were the cherry on top. I received multiple compliments for how timely everything felt and that was very important to us. Would 10/10 recommend Bustle and Lace!
Michelle is the best!
Michelle was the planner for our wedding and was so cost effective and went above and beyond. She knows her stuff, thinks of everything and truly went above and beyond. She was incredibly responsive and just honestly so special to have as part of our day. She takes care of all the things you never think of. As someone who is extremely organized and obsessive, I genuinely felt like I could “let go” on my wedding day and be in good hands!
