The Wedding Planner Becomes The Bride


It was November 6th, 2018, when Tristan came into the Angelic Grove office, following the evening of her birthday, with a smile from ear to ear and a sparkling, diamond ring on her finger. We all waited for her to arrive in anticipation. “I’m officially engaged, '' she exclaimed! And thus, the planner of many beautiful weddings who works so closely with brides and grooms to bring their special day to life became the planner of her own wedding.

3 years prior, Tristan was casually scrolling through the Bumble dating app when she came across a tall, dark and handsome man, whose profile stood out to her. Swiping right, Tristan never realized she would soon fall in love with the man behind this profile and say yes to forever with him!


As a wedding planner and a serious planner in general, Tristan even managed to take the reins on her own surprise engagement. After sending her long term boyfriend, Bill, a multitude of photos and links to engagement rings, he ultimately asked her to go with him to pick out the ring because he knew better than to try and surprise her. For the proposal, she, of course,

knew it was coming! On the evening of her birthday, with freshly manicured nails, Tristan excitedly joined Bill for dinner at The Chart House, which is where his grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. The whole night Tristan awaited the big questions but Bill made her wait until the very end of the night before he asked her to follow him on the patio, where he got down on one knee and asked if Tristan would marry him. Delighted, thrilled and not in the least bit surprised, Tristan of course, said yes!



Over a year of planning seating charts, wedding dress shopping and cake tasting and Tristan’s special day finally arrived and on Saturday, January 11th, Tristan and Bill tied the knot. Tristan specifically chose a timeless, elegant and romantic theme to her wedding, with a beautiful outdoor ceremony and a candlelit, classic set up for her reception. Her stunning, Essence of Australia bridal gown was the perfect wedding dress. A beautiful day filled with love, laughter, and tears of joy went by all too quickly as Bill married the girl of his dreams. Looking back on her special day, I interviewed Tristan about her wedding, the planning process, and the newly-married life.

I primarily asked the newly-wed ‘how did you make your wedding personal and special to you?’ Tristan responded, perfectly,

“It was very much about Bill and I. We didn't worry too much about the stuff that I know, as a planner, no one would remember. We made the ceremony personal with our favorite music and writing our own vows. Everyone kept saying that it was so sweet and very much a reflection of who we are as a couple. We also made the day a focus on our love and families, and the reception was full of personal speeches, sweet moments between friends and family, and an all-around great time. It was relaxed and fun just like we are (try to be) and the whole day was flawless. If I can give advice is to not over plan and focus on why you are doing this and the whole day will be personal and special.”



When asked about her favorite moment of her wedding, Tristan immediately knew,

“Our ceremony and the speeches during the reception. It was special hearing Bill's vows and reading mine to him and hearing the personal ceremony our officiant had prepared. During the reception, I couldn't stop crying through our parent's and friend's speeches. I was so overwhelmed with love and it made the day so special.”


“What would be the best piece of advice you could give to a future bride/groom,” I asked.

Tristan explained, “Don't over plan. Follow a checklist, plan the big things, and then tackle the little details as they come. Ultimately guests won't remember what china you used, or if the napkins were ivory or champagne, they won't remember what signage you had so don't stress about those types of details. They remember the love, they remember if they had fun. SO make sure the food is good and the alcohol is flowing, but after that, focus on you and your future husband. Make sure the day is a reflection of your love and that is what people would remember. If you focus on what's important (your love) the day will be great regardless. If you let the day flow, and don't get caught up in the minute by minute timeline, then you will have fun and so will everyone else around you. Also, have a day of coordinator!!! Make sure there is someone there who is the day of contact that isn't a family member or friend. It will make your day so much easier and stress-free!”

Romantic, memorable, exciting and beautiful. Time to plan your honeymoon? Well, it's arguably the most important holiday of your life and yet, amongst the wedding planning, your honeymoon can get a little forgotten. But don't panic! We have compiled a list of our favourite destinations and recommended places to escape too with your new husband or wife!


FIJI

Up first we are island hopping in the quintessential paradise named Fiji. Consisting of over 300 islands crafted from soft white sand beaches, picturesque palm trees and the crystal blue sea. Take early morning hikes through lushes, tropical vegetation and up volcanic peaks or relax at an early morning yoga session on the powder soft sandy beach, invest some time at a traditional Fijian cooking lesson together or explore the ocean floor during scuba diving; however you choose to spend your time in Fiji it will never be long enough.


JAPAN

After your special day is all said and done, it’s definitely time for you and your new husband or wife to take some time to yourselves and simply disappear. What better place to venture away to than Tokyo, Japan. With a population of over 12 million, Tokyo is also one of the largest cities in the world which is always bustling with life, energy and color. Few places on Earth will offer visitors such a diverse range of experiences and culture as Japan. The locals are respectable and cultured through their long-standing traditions. The contrast is remarkable, whilst Tokyo’s westernised high-speed, convenient transport systems and technological lifestyle is distinctly divergent to the wooden, traditional temples and blossom tree gardens that are nestled between sky scrapers. You won’t be bored, hungry or disappointed for a moment during your time in Tokyo, Japan.



DEEP SOUTH STATES OF USA

For a honeymoon a little closer to home, look no further than the deep-southeren cities in North America. Take a road trip or a short flight to New Orleans. The music scene here is incredibly rich and diverse; you'll find blues, country, soul or jazz leaking from doorways and echoing through the streets of this exciting city. You newly-weds will bounce between bars and gigs whilst dancing the nights away, but there is a plentiful culture to enjoy including an interesting history and a delectable local cuisine.



FRANCE

Paris. Ah the city of love. Perhaps the most romantic honeymoon you could imagine involves walking hand in hand through the cobbled streets of Paris having filled up on fresh pastries and drinking champagne from the moment you wake up until you close your eyes again because why not?! You’re in Paris! Enjoy the excitement of walking up the Eiffel tower, soaking up the culture within the Notre Dame, go shopping in the high-fashion shops and visit the famous Mona Lisa inside La Lovre. Amongst the acclaimed tourist sites our favourite moments spent in Paris include wandering down a back cobbled street into a rustic French café to enjoy the best coffee you will ever taste as you breath in the Parisian air and pinch yourself because you must be dreaming!!



SCOTLAND

Hope across the pond and bring a warm jacket. Scotland has an abundance of hidden gems packed into it - imagine wild coastlines, rugged landscapes, historic castles and cosy hospitality. The traditional Scottish dances, food and pubs will have you entertained and enthralled. You can learn to fly fish, drink malt whiskey or visit the capital city, Edinburgh for

ambience, nightlife and shopping. Scotland is an ideal and scenic honeymoon location.


We love traveling and exposing our brand to global and international clients. Angelic Grove has been fortunate enough and honored to work with a variety of diverse clients to bring events to life all across the globe. We hope our worldly knowledge of traveling will help make your honeymoon decision a little easier amongst all the other choices you have to make during your wedding planning process!
