I’m so excited to share today’s interview with the fabulous Ashley Lynch of Festoons & Flourishes! Ashley is a fellow metro-Detroit based wedding planner, who specializes in luxury weddings.
I had so much fun chatting with Ashley, not only because we speak the same wedding planner language, but because there are just as many similarities in our jobs or rolls as their are differences.
During out chat, we talk about:
The myth of Day Of Coordination
The different kinds and styles of wedding planners - Wedding planners vs. wedding designers
The phrase “luxury wedding” and what it really means
And how planning a luxury wedding is different that the average wedding
Different ways wedding planners structure their pricing
The process of creating a wedding design and phase based wedding planning
We talk about our favorite moments of a wedding day
The different elements of a wedding
Her take on wedding trends- And finally, Ashley shares her top tips to making sure you enjoy your wedding day!
This conversation was long overdue, and I’m proud to be sharing some behind the scenes thoughts with veteran wedding planners.

Hey, folks! It's Kate here, welcoming you back to another episode of the Wedding Planning Collective Podcast. Today, I'm shaking things up a bit. Typically, I start my episodes with questions I frequently hear, but today, let's dive into a topic often overlooked in wedding planning: layouts or floor plans.
Starting with the basics, I break down why having a well-thought-out wedding layout is crucial. It's not the most glamorous aspect of planning, but it can save you from chaos on your big day. We discuss the necessity of having both ceremony and reception layouts, debunking the myth that ceremony layouts are always unnecessary.
Moving on, I delve into who typically handles these layouts and explore the pros and cons of venue assistance versus DIY. While venue coordinators can be a huge help, they often come with limitations on revisions and timing.
We also touch on the practicalities of creating your own layout, including free tools like Aisle Planner, Social Tables, and All Seated. Understanding dimensions, guest flow, and space allocation are key components we delve into, ensuring your layout is both functional and elegant.
Lastly, I provide a comprehensive list of elements to consider when crafting your layout, from seating arrangements to vendor stations, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
And hey, I'd love to hear from you! Have you started your layout process yet? Head over to the Wedding Planning Collective Facebook Group and share your experience.
If you found this episode valuable, please take a moment to rate and review. Your feedback helps us reach more couples navigating the wedding planning journey. Until next time, happy planning!

I’m mixing things up a bit with today’s episode, and I’m going to share a conversation I had on IG Live with Mika VanderHeyden with Band-Ayd Events Group.
They specialize in up-leveling weddings and events by incorporating audio/visual components. This includes lighting features, specialty dance floors, and those fun indoor sparklers can be set to go off during your grand entrance or first dance. We discuss different types of event lighting, and the difference it can make on the event design. We also talk about the hiring or booking process for your lighting vendor, and why it doesn’t have to be as intimidating as it might feel at first.

Have you checked out the new Netflix show Marriage or Mortgage yet? The premise of the show is that engaged couples have saved between $20-$30k, and they are deciding on putting that towards a wedding, or a down payment on a home.
Many have an immediate reaction to this idea, and plenty have gone to Twitter to share their opinions. In today's episode, I break down the concept from the wedding planners perspective, and it might not be what you'd expect.
More excitingly though, I had the opportunity to chat with Denise & Nick this week, one of the couples featured on the show. After I breakdown my thoughts on the series, check out my conversation with them about their experience filming the show, what went into making their decision, and what they've been up to since decision day!
