Bohemian Romance Styled by Tulsa Weddings & Design

So, the other day after I woke up, I caught a glimpse of the calendar and was hit by the sudden realization that it is already March, in a couple of days we will be setting the clocks back for daylight savings time. Goodness… MARCH, of 2015! Where does time go? (*sigh*) Not that I’m complaining, but… no, I’m definitely complaining.  Time goes by way too fast!

 

All whining aside, I was reminded of a beautiful photo shoot we collaborated on with Paper 8 at Dresser Mansion in Tulsa, OK. Check out these beautiful photos. Huge thank you to Jake an Julia of Excellence Photobooth for being our models for the day. Also, a huge thank you to Dresser Mansion for being such gracious host for the day. So many wonderful vendors made this shoot possible.  (list below under The Talented Team)BridalifeStyle_Sping-Summer-2015-32 BridalifeStyle_Sping-Summer-2015-33BridalifeStyle_Sping-Summer-2015-34BridalifeStyle_Sping-Summer-2015-37BridalifeStyle_Sping-Summer-2015-38

Keeley + Chris Viva la Ranch “The Barn”

Amazing day captured by Brittany Ashton Photography! These photos speak volumes on their own but we want to give you the behind the scenes scoop of how the day unfolded. Keeley & Chris feel in love with the rustic charm of Vive la Ranch aka “the barn” on the very first site tour.

The weather was absolutely perfect for an outdoor wedding by the water.  Just as the couple pictured their fairytale day.

Surrounded by there closest family and friends the vow, promises and rings were exchanged. And the celebration began!
Lots of fun for everyone at the outdoor photobooth.

Assessing the value of a “Wedding Day Coordination” service??

Wedding CollageHere is a very conservative break down of time spent for a typical wedding day coordination service:

  • 1 hour – initial phone inquiry and in-person consultation
  • 1 hour – creating and sending your contract for services and processing payments including billing for future payments
  • 1.5 hours – in-person meeting before the wedding to go through details and checklists with the bride (including travel time)
  • 2 hours – phone and email communication with your clients before the wedding
  • 2 hours – create and finalize the wedding day time line and vendor list
  • 2 hours – communicating with and confirming all vendors
  • 2 hours – attend a final meeting at the venue with your client to review details and logistics (including travel time)
  • 1.5 hours – attending and managing the wedding rehearsal (including travel time)
  • 11 hours – actual time you are on-site during the wedding day (including travel time)
  • 1 hour – follow up after the wedding with clients and returning any rental items you are responsible for

=25 hours of time!  Although it may seem like it is only “ONE DAY” simply by its title, it is one of the single most important days of your life!   An experienced planner will exceed your expectations and is hands down worth  the investment!

What to expect from Tulsa Weddings & Design

We realize the majority of brides and grooms have never planned an event as big as their wedding day. It is most likely the largest amount of money they have ever spent on a single day. Typically they have not worked with an event planner before or with any other event professionals. Our clients are relying on us to get them through the process but they often don’t know what to expect.  Through each phase of the planning process, we take the time to explain how wedding planning works.  Which means a better educated couple on how to impact the overall design without breaking the bank.  Talking clients through the planning process includes the following:

  • The order we like to book vendors
  • How you estimate and work with their budget
  • How many vendors you will recommend in each category
  • How our design process works
  • How rentals work
  • What they can expect at vendor consultations
  • What meetings we will attend
  • What we keep track of and what you expect clients to do on their own
  • When we will have initial time lines done
  • How vendor contracts and payments work
  • What a mock-up and final walk-through are
  • What we do on the wedding day

Whether you are planning a wedding, corporate or social gathering,  trust Tulsa Weddings & Designs with the details of your special event. We can’t wait to meet you and hear about your event details.
