“H & L helped us create a magical wedding day!”
Lorie is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond for her clients! I’m so thrilled we chose to work with her; she helped create a magical wedding day! All because of her we were able to sit back and be stress free. If you need a wedding coordinator she is the one!

“We couldn’t be happier.”
When I first called H & L, I was hesitant to share my budget… but Lorie listened, encouraged me, and made me feel special and confident that it was my wedding day and it could be as beautiful as I wanted without spending a fortune… Hiring H & L was the best decision. We couldn’t be happier with our small backyard wedding.

![BABY STEPS! -[PART ONE]-
How do you make children walk down the aisle? … you DON'T. 🥴
Typically, 🌸Girl & 💍Bearer are the youngest members of the bridal party, walking out right before the bride. And when these precious people toddle down the aisle, it’s truly the ultimate photo op. 🥰 BUT it’s also ripe for disaster since you never really know how a kid or toddler is going to handle an audience, the cameras flashing, + all that attention & energy focused on them. 🫣 It can be a real challenge to get them to walk, and when they’re under the age of 4, it’s more difficult since they don’t know what’s going on. 😬
To avoid the little ones from throwing a major tantrum, sobbing, and just generally refusing to walk, we have 7 hacks to get them walk all the way. [we will cover 4 of them today]
👯♀️Pair them up: Give them someone else to walk with right from the start. You can have an additional 🌸Girl, or buddy her up with the 💍Bearer. By being with someone, they won’t feel all alone.
🔂Have A Rehearsal: Everyone needs some time to get their roles right for the big day, and little ones are no exception. Doing a dry run can go a long way in ensuring that the children don’t get stage fright on your big day.
🧸Give them Something To Hold: The role of the 🌸Girl is to toss petals, so in the case of a reluctant walker, it might be good to assign her a task so that she doesn’t feel overwhelmed. In this case, dropping petals can take her attention off of the people oohing + aahing over her. It serves as a good distraction & makes your aisle pretty. If she doesn’t want to part with her petals, you can always give her a bouquet to hold. For a 💍Bearer you can use a sign.
👩👦Let Them Walk Toward Someone They Love: If you’re worried that the kids might cry coming down the aisle, you can plan ahead by having a parent waiting for them. Knowing that Mommy or Daddy is waiting can help relax them & also give them the motivation as they walk.
Easy 😉
Tomorrow we’ll cover the last 3 hacks! What do you think they’ll be?

As the sun will eventually set today on 2022, is a good time to reflect on the past year and what an awesome one it has been. 🥳
A year with lots of firsts (✈️Fiji, DC, AZ) and lots of fun adventures, weddings, events, networking meetings, happy moments, sad moments. 💕 -eternally grateful for our clients, friends and vendors who trust us each time again and again with wedding days and events. We adore you ✨
We can definitely say we look forward to 2023 and hope it’s as fun filled with more experiences, more blessings, more events, more weddings, more friends, more clients, more L O V E 🫶🏼 ... [more Jesus]
This year has really thought us to make the most of the moments we have with our closest friends and family as life really is too short for drama. 🤍
We wish you all a fantastic New Years Eve and may you have an even better 2023.🍾
Let all the celebrations begin 🤗 and God bless you all.
