Making it Fabulous: Shannon Reeves Events

We are excited to share this little bundle of fabulous with you today! Shannon from Shannon Reeves Events is not only such a sweetheart, she is also a FABULOUS wedding planner!

AND YOU ARE... ?

Shannon, a southern girl and wedding planner with a passion for all things pretty. After planning and coordinating weddings for five years, Shannon Reeves Events - a company all my own - is a dream-come-to-life. I'm an optimist, a hopeless romantic and always cry during the first dance. I love it when my sweet Southern brides become friends. I have the best job in the world.

TOP TREND OF THE MOMENT:

Chandeliers. As a gal from the South, I'm a lover of all things vintage, handmade and rustic, but really love sprinkling in a little glam and sparkle, too!

YOUR FAVORITE CREATIVE TOUCH:

Incorporating heirloom pieces into weddings. I love nothing more than when brides wear their mother's veil. Or when couples use the same toasting glasses their parents used. Or when meaningful old family photographs are displayed in beautiful frames around the reception space. One of my brides even tied her bridal bouquet with the same ribbon that her grandmother used to tie hers!

THE SPLURGE YOU'RE LOVING MOST RIGHT NOW:

Having been a wedding planner, a bride and a guest, I think hiring a wedding coordinator is the very best money a couple can spend. Even a perfectly planned wedding comes with a million to-do's on the big day. There are very few occasions in life when all of your friends and family are in one place, just for you. Let the coordinator tend to those wedding-day tasks while you enjoy every single second of your one big day with all your favorite people. Hiring a planner or a day-of coordinator is like purchasing peace of mind, and that's worth every penny.
