Make Your Wedding a Highlight

The way a wedding event team is comprised, you don't always get to meet the other members of it. That's the case with DJ Josh and Brittany Sigler, owner of Destin Mobile Makeup Box and 30A Mobile Makeup Box. He has been a part of numerous weddings with her but they hadn't ever chatted until this episode!

Brittany shares how her passion for being a bridal hair and makeup artist means that she wants to make the bride's experience second to none ensuring that the party starts BEFORE the wedding reception. She also talked about lessons she learned from working at Estee Lauder and encouragement for other would-be entrepreneurs since she also has her own makeup line called Consecrated Cosmetics.

Charcuterie is a new trend as a unique experience in its own right. But have you considered incorporating it as part of your wedding? Whether it's part of your Rehearsal Dinner, preparing for the big day, or even having it as part of the Reception, charcuterie is a great accent for any occasion. Fortunately, the co-owner of The Blue Magnolia, Nathalie Barreto, sat down and shared with me how her and her father, George, started their company during the COVID-19 quarantine period. In addition to talking about The Blue Magnolia, we also discussed our similar experiences in Calculus, where Nathalie feels centered, as well as what Nathalie's plans are for Thanksgiving.

On today's episode, you may recognize my guest from Episode 7 when we talked about how to find the right wedding coordination for your big day. (If you haven't checked it out, yet, you should ;) ). However, we aren't talking about wedding coordination today but a unique concept to the Emerald Coast: micro-weddings.

Since Avis Glenister is what I like to call a serial wedding entrepreneur, it didn't surprise me that she would create a new wedding concept for the Emerald Coast while we were on quarantine. As she was looking for a way to accommodate couples who wanted to strip down the wedding planning process and focus on what's important while also partnering with her favorite wedding pros and, Intimate Weddings 30A was born. It also allows couples to lower what they will have to budget since the cost for the wedding professionals and the venue is spread throughout the day. (You won't have to rent the venue for the day. Only your time!)

Want more info? Head on over to her website. Full disclosure: I am a member of the Intimate Weddings 30A collective of wedding professionals. If you book with Intimate Weddings 30A, I just might get the privilege to be a part of your day!

So, I'll be honest. When I was in the wedding planning process, flowers weren't really a big deal to me. What can I say? I was the typical groom. But, ladies, I understand. Especially if photographs are a big priority to you, flowers mean EVERYTHING!

Well, fortunately for me, I got to be schooled on all things florals by Kerrie Brogdon from KB Farms Cut Flowers. Not only that but we also talked about how she and her husband came to owning KB Farms, how they've been able to adapt and make it through COVID-19, as well as what life is like in Cottondale, FL.

Social Media is a wonderful thing. It brings people together from all around the world. It also allows you to "meet" people in your local area that you never came across before, especially those in your industry! This is the case for this episode with Mallory Archer, the owner of Relax and Eat Cake. I haven't met her in person but we have Insta-met, so that counts for something!

As you can imagine, Mallory is a wedding and private event cake baker. Since I don't often get a chance to chat with cake bakers on the day of the wedding, I was interested in finding out more about her world: what all baking a cake entails, the most elaborate cake she's ever created, and how she can manage to have an at-home business all while homeschooling 4 kids. She also shared her unique experience with natural disasters, overcoming both Hurricane Michael and adapting to the current challenge of COVID-19.

When you think of having a destination wedding on Florida's Emerald Coast, you probably envision your venue on the beach overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. If that's the case, you need to check out Vue on 30A. With its floor to ceiling windows and how far it sits above the beach, this is a wedding to definitely consider.

This week, I got the chance to chat with Anna Parish, Vue's Private Event Director. I've had the pleasure of working with her several times but it was so nice to just chat with her about why couples LOVE Vue on 30A. From the view to the food to its amazing staff, it makes it a wedding venue to consider for your 30A wedding.

Some of the guests on Make Your Wedding a Highlight, I've had the pleasure of being a part of an event team with. Some I haven't, yet, but hope to soon. This week's guest was Heather Archdeacon-Willams,  the owner of Defining Moments Weddings & Events. She also happened to be the wedding coordinator for the best wedding I've ever been to: my own :). I haven't been able to be a part of an event team with her yet just because our schedules never quite lined up but I was so excited that I got to chat with her (as well as gush about her to her).

The conversation included Disney magic, Heather's wanderlust. But, drawing from her 15 years of wedding planning experience in the 30A area, Heather shares insight on where to focus first so that way you avoid heartache or difficult decisions later on in the wedding planning process.
