Which is why our approach to planning and design is as strategic as it is rewarding.

The Marriage Of
LOGISTICS & CREATIVITY
Wedding planning can be fun and rewarding when you have the right team guiding you.
Since 2011, our team has combined backgrounds and skills in process optimization, design, food, beverage, and hospitality to create a streamlined wedding planning process.
Our proprietary method makes planning simple and enjoyable, and flawlessly produces an event reflective of your style, personality, and vision.
“As soon as you think you should be doing something for the wedding – Lovestruck already had it done. I got to enjoy the whole process of picking out themes, colors, decor, food and more while sipping on a coffee and sampling cake in their chic and cozy office.”
– COURTNEY // BRIDE
A STRATEGIC APPROACH
ROOTED IN DESIGN
To design a truly personal event, no decision can be left to chance. That is why we analyze each and every detail – from the design of the invitation suite to the garnish of each hors d’Oeuvres. Discover how our strategic approach leads to a personal celebration:
Connection
LEADS TO DESIGN
Our approach to planning and design is fueled by curiosity. We are driven by your story, your love for one another, your likes and dislikes, and your culture or heritage. We welcome the challenge of bringing them to life through your event.
We also believe your wedding should express your most endearing qualities. So, discovering YOUR priorities is OUR top priority.
We’ll meet virtually or at our studio to learn how you want to experience your wedding day. As we listen, we’ll note your priorities and use them to shape the look and feel of your event.
Design
LEADS TO LOGISTICS
We look at every aspect of your event through the lens of design – considering not just how something looks but how it feels.
As we consider each design concept, we’ll visualize how it will impact your guest’s experience. Are they able to easily navigate around the cocktail tables? Will all of your guests be able to clearly hear the toasts and speeches?
We’ll thoughtfully consider all of these things and more as we develop a blueprint for a welcoming, dynamic, and comfortable atmosphere for everyone.
“…they simplified a lot of the stress-oriented decisions so that we wouldn’t spend days-and-days deliberating.”
“While their creativity and detail are off the charts, they are very minimalistic in the way they function. Their digital venue mock-ups, spreadsheets, budgets, and vendor communications are flawless and cut straight to the chase.”
– BRADY // GROOM
Logistics
LEADS TO INNOVATION
Our user-friendly project management system keeps you organized and in-the-know every step of the way.
Here, you’ll find documentation of every vendor, detail and design decision made, along with the current, past, and future status of every task we are managing.
With this suite of online tools, you can relax knowing the framework of your event is solid – freeing up all of us to collaborate on how we can incorporate unique nuggets of your story into your day.
Innovation
LEADS TO TRANSFORMATION
As full-service planners and designers, we do more than simply help you choose stationery patterns or decorative chargers. Instead, we find inspiration in your style or ideas and transform them into a celebration beyond anything you imagine.
To create this transformation, we look beyond the surface of what is important to you, and dive deep into why it’s important to you. Doing so allows us to make even the most mundane detail meaningful.
As your planners, we see it as our responsibility to make your vision a reality through colors, textures, ambiance, and lighting. That is why we’re always on standby with a tape measure, sketchbook, Pantone color book, or fabric swatches for a moment inspiration strikes.
“The wedding day — from the ceremony to the dinner and reception — was flawless.”
“…the level of professionalism displayed by Lindsay, Candace, and their staff gave me the confidence that everything for that day would be perfect.
– CHRIS // FATHER OF THE BRIDE
MIDWEST & BEYOND
CELEBRATE IN ANY DESTINATION
While we’re based in the Midwest, we produce all types of celebrations across the country. Between our efficient planning and trusted connections from coast to coast – there are endless possibilities of where you can have your celebration.
And because we’ve got over a decade of experience doing so, you can replace the stress of planning from afar with excitement – for the incredibly unique and memorable wedding weekend experience you’ll share with your guests.
To ensure each event is highly personal to each of our clients, we produce a limited number of events per year. This allows us to devote the time and energy to you and your event.
We hope to have the privilege of helping with yours.
“Candace and Lindsay thought of everything.”
“From a guest perspective, all the small touches were very well thought out. From a bride’s perspective, I was able to enjoy the day knowing that they were taking care of the loose ends and communicating with vendors.”
– MARGARET // BRIDE
