Your Pinterest board is exploding with ideas for creating the wedding day of your dreams, but how do you know if it will really create the cohesive vision you have been dreaming about? With a Style and Decor Plan we will capture your vision and clearly detail out all of your plans. We start by gathering your inspiration photos and developing two vision board concepts. These concepts will have some contrasting ideas to help us entertain an array of options. Once we determine our overall vision, I move on to detailing each individual component. This typically includes a plan for your ceremony decor, floral, signage and centerpieces. The plan will outline not only the style and aesthetic, but the materials and/or vendors needed to make that vision a reality. Finally, a budget will be provided to thoroughly understand the investment to bring all these components to your big day. Throughout this process we will meet via phone to review the ideas and finalize the plan. This plan is delivered as a PDF document and can be used to facilitate your vision with all of your vendors during your planning process. Your style and decor plan typically takes 2-3 weeks to complete.

Your Style + Decor plan will include:

• Vision board to convey the overall scheme of the wedding.

• Decor plans to outline details for signage, centerpieces, ceremony and reception decor. 

• Execution plan for all decor including sources to purchase all materials needed.

• Floral concept presentation to help communicate the vision with the florist.

• Budget plan to outline total cost of all decor materials needed (floral not included), as well as labor costs for Love in Lawrence to execute certain concepts.

At the end of your wonderful wedding night, the last thing you want to think about is what to do with all the leftovers! Fortunately, our team is very passionate about this topic and we are here to help. With our Spread the Love Waste Management Add-on we will take care of all the logistics to get your food and decor to a happy new home.

Food waste management:

Our team has worked with Just Food to understand the policies and procedures for properly transporting food waste from large events to our community. We will work with you to understand how much food you would like to take home and will properly pack and transport the rest.

Options include:

• Composting food waste from self-service buffets in partnership with Food Cycle KC (Food Cycle KC fees will apply).

• Copacking any food not serviced on a self-service buffet into meal-ready containers, properly labeled with date and ingredients for Just Food to distribute through their facility.

• Collaborting with catering staff to minimize food waste with service plans at the event. This could include reducing a food order and/or serving smaller amounts of food at a time to minimize public contamination.

decor waste management:

In order to minimize decor waste at your wedding, our team will help in the following ways: 

• Consult on items that are best rented instead of purchased for one time use.

• Discuss high areas of waste that we experience and brainstorm alternatives. This could include things like favors, desserts and more.

• Provide cost calculations for disposable versus compostable versus reusable items including dishes, flatware, and cups.

• Redistribue florals to local senior centers, teachers and anyone who’s day would be brightened with your gorgeous blooms.

• Donate used candles to Waxman Candles to be melted and poured into beautiful new candles.
