Rustic Elegant Wedding Coordinating

We hired Lauren and her team to be our month of and day of coordinator and wow - one of the best decisions we made for our wedding ! Lauren was so professional from the beginning, answered any questions we had, and took over complete control one month out in coordinating all of our vendors and the day of timeline. She truly was magic on our wedding day and made our vision come to life. Our wedding was at a private residence and was a tent wedding so basically a complete venue from scratch, which required a ton of more elements. Lauren pulled it off on the day without a hitch. She handled every detail and it allowed us and our family to be completely worry free on the day of and just enjoy the moment - and we couldn’t ask for anything more !! We are forever grateful for Lauren and her team running the show to pull off truly the best day of our lives! To all future brides, just book Lauren - you won’t regret it!

Best Coordinator Around!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator than Lauren and the Blush and Lace Beginnings team. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect day. She was not only hard working, but super friendly and kind. Her assistant for the day, Justine, also made sure things went smoothly. We are from Florida, so having a destination wedding is a bit more challenging. With the help of Blush and Lace Beginnings, we felt comfort knowing we had a great team to help run and organize the day. Lauren spent so much time making outlines, picking and dropping off our florals/decor rentals, and cleaning up the space—saving us so much energy and stress. We can’t thank them enough. Lauren has become a friend, and we highly recommend her and The Blush and Lace Beginnings team to anyone that wants a smooth and special wedding day. Lauren also helped keep the wedding schedule on time and communicated clearly with the other vendors. Thank you Lauren and Justine for everything you did! We will never forget all the work and thought you put into our wedding day!

Unbelievably Kind and Helpful

We originally didn't plan to hire a coordinator because we naively thought to ourselves that we could handle a 30 person destination wedding. Several months in, we were so overwhelmed and decided to make room for it in our budget and no joke-- it was one of the absolute best decisions we made. I cannot believe how much more enjoyable the experience became. Lauren is made for this. From the moment we first met on a video chat, we felt calm and taken care of. She is kind, funny, resourceful, experienced, and smart. She suggested and then helped plan a sunrise vow exchange literally days before our wedding because of an insane heat wave. She coordinated with our photo/video team to make these adjustments, helped us get hair and makeup to accommodations-- literally days before. What a legend. Every single vendor on the day told us she was super sweet and very on top of everything. She also perfectly set up and decorated our ceremony and reception. Absolutely nailed the look!! If I could go back and do it over again, I would hire her for full service planning. Lauren is the absolute best, and I would highly HIGHLY recommend hiring her for your wedding!

Don't know how we would have done it without them

It was such a busy day and thank goodness Lauren and her team were there to help. They made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. I really don't know how the wedding would have went without them. I am soooo thankful!

Shayne was the absolute best!

Our day was absolutely perfect. A super complex mountain elopement that was requested 6months out was a tall order, but Shayne did not disappoint at all. She showed up when it counted, both as a professional and a new friend. She is a beautiful person from the inside out and an expert professional. The day was not without minor hiccups but I credit her 100% with handling those hiccups with professionalism and always with our interest at heart. I would recommend her 1000% for anything!

Beyond amazing

We were soooo thankful to have Stephanie and her assistant Emily with us on our wedding day!
The week before the wedding Stephanie took care of all those last minute confirmations from vendors and allowed us to just spend time with family leading up to the wedding. The day of the wedding I woke up with zero stress, the day flowed smoothly, all little details taken care of which allowed us just to enjoy the day and take it all in. I would highly recommend Blush & Lace as a company to assist in your wedding day needs, you will not regret them.

Made our day beyond perfect

We had the honour of having blush and lace beginnings help us with our special day. From the moment we first chatted I knew they were going to be perfect. The month of the wedding they helped me so much and calmed so many nerves. The day of the wedding Shayne and Stephanie ran the day so smoothly. From rehearsal day, decorations, cake and take down, these girls blew us away with everything. I honestly could not have dreamed of a better day. I would 100000/10 recommend these girls.
