Join Kristina Stubblefield and Michael Gaddie as they explore the key differences between a wedding planner, coordinator, and venue manager to help make your dream wedding a reality. While many couples assume that the venue manager will take care of everything, they stress the importance of having a dedicated wedding planner or coordinator. But, don't underestimate the value of a venue manager who knows the location inside out and can handle any hiccups that may arise. Our hosts emphasize the importance of having a knowledgeable and experienced guide to help you throughout the planning process and on your big day.
A wedding planner can provide invaluable support, save you time, stress, and money, and make sure that every detail is taken care of. A day-of coordinator can also be helpful for those who only need assistance on their wedding day. Michael and Kristina caution against making assumptions and encourage couples to seek out professional help to ensure a smooth and enjoyable wedding planning experience. They share their experience and knowledge from years of working in the industry, and we invite you to share your own experiences and feedback as well. Don't let the overwhelming task of wedding planning stress you out. Tune in and learn how to make your dream wedding a reality with the help of our experts!

This episode focuses on the importance of reviewing contracts carefully before signing them. While it may be tempting to just scroll down and sign, it is important to take the time to read and understand the terms of the contract. Michael Gaddie, Sharon Rumsey and Kristina Stubblefield noted that vendors often have things included and not included in their contracts. They discussed that importance of asking questions about anything that is unclear. Michael shared that he goes through his entire contract with potential clients at the consultation, which Sharon mentioned she loves. Michael mentioned specific details of his contracts, such as not sending pictures of flowers.
Ultimately, it is in the best interest of the couple to take the time to read and review the contract. They encouraged couples to look for details such as what is supplied, what is not supplied, and potential due dates. They agreed that it is important to read contracts carefully to avoid potential issues on the wedding day.

Kristina Stubblefield, Michael Gaddie, and Sharon Rumsey discussed the importance of not sharing all of one's wedding planning immediately after getting engaged. Sharon explained that while it's great to share the news with family and close friends, it is better to not make a big announcement in places such as work. This is because until wedding planning begins, the guest list is uncertain, and people may think they are invited when they may not be. Furthermore, everyone will have an opinion and this can add to the stress and overwhelm that comes with planning a wedding. The trio advised that wedding planning should be fun, rather than a source of anxiety.
The trio discussed how to enjoy the process of wedding planning and not let it become overwhelming. They suggested that when people ask about the details of the wedding, couples should smile a lot and talk less, saying that they're still working on the details and figuring things out.
Sharon Rumsey and Michael Gaddie discussed the importance of tempering out details when planning a wedding. They advised that it is important to limit the number of people who accompany the couple to try on wedding attire and make other wedding decisions. Sharon noted that it can be helpful to bring a friend or family member for support, but it is important to remember that the wedding should be about the couple's vision and not about what other people may want.

The hair stylist you select for your bridal party is one of your most important hires. There is so much to understand and to consider when planning your wedding hair looks. Listen to this episode to hear co-hosts Kristina, Mike and Sharon talk with hairdresser, Stacie Hutchinson about considering the aesthetic of your stylist, scheduling trial runs, gathering inspiration photos and when a 2nd stylist is needed.

She has pursued additional education, so she remains current on trends and all the tips and tricks. After over 17 years in the industry, Stacie still gets excited about getting to be part of each bride’s special day! Stacie also has worked for the Kentucky Opera placing wigs and doing makeup.

• [03:26] Stacie “I think then the top thing to consider is the style of your stylist. Not every stylist has the same style. Some of them are better at boho, some of them are better at sleek looks. And some just aren't versed in using added additives to the hair, like extensions or buns that make the hair make you look like you have more hair than what you have.
• [18:38] Kristina “When you're going to book your stylist for that day. How many can you have but then also do they? Do they find someone else to help them or work with them?”

In this episode, Kristina talked with wedding floral vendor, Michael Gaddie of Lloyd’s Florist in Louisville, Kentucky about thinking smarter and being more strategic by automating business processes. Listen in as they discuss how Mike went from being resistant to change to totally embracing the convenience of it all after it was set up. He shares how his business has increased, become more streamlined… and how he finds he is spending less time on the follow-up and administrative procedures because of automated processes that have been put in place.
Michael Gaddie is a well-known name in the event industry, and he is a proud member of AIFD (American Institute of Floral Designers – an International organization). After starting his floral career in 1989, Michael went to work for Lloyd’s Florist, a full-service floral shop offering décor and gifts. Michael and his wife, Pam, purchased the business in 2000.

Having enjoyed a very successful career in the floral industry, Michael has been the recipient of several awards over the years, highlights of which include… Kentucky Designer of the Year and 2020 Sweepstakes Award in the Rose Parade, where he has been a designer for 20 years. Although best known for his creativity and eye for design, what most love about Michael is his huge heart, ridiculous sense of humor and over the top work ethic. Michael and his wife Pam are also an elite partner of Jim’s formal wear in Louisville, Kentucky.
