HOWDY!
I’m Destiny and I think love is really freakin’ cool.
Audiobook enthusiast. Introvert extraordinaire. Wednesday Addams wannabe.
As a kid, I was the one with the color-coded folders, sticky notes, and a pack of gum. Maybe that’s where my wedding planning brain kicked in? I grew up in Houston (go ‘Stros), but fell in love with New Orleans when I visited for college - I knew this was where I needed to be.
When I’m not knee deep in a Google Doc you can find me rewatching my comfort shows (Bob’s Burgers & King of the Hill), baking cookies, or at the gym trying to lift really heavy things… it’s how I prepare for your wedding day!
What’s your Planning Style?
To be quite honest, I don’t really have one. I was a middle school teacher for 6 years and when I’d get asked what my “teaching style” was - I would always say “I don’t know, whatever gets the kids excited about science!”. That mirrors the approach I take with wedding planning. While I am VERY Type-A, the Type-B is always lingering in the corner.
Don’t want to do first dances? Sounds good to me!
Want to have a concert/jam session for your reception. Hell yeah! (This has actually happened)
Want to stick with all the traditions and have a classic wedding. Lets do it!
This is all to say, my only “style” is adopting what you want for your day. I’m never going to push you to do something that makes you uncomfortable or that doesn’t make sense for y’all as a couple. While we do love tradition, we also love making new ones too.
