Bari and Sam were more than wedding planners. They really cared. They cared about how I was doing. I was going through a whirlwind of things while planning my wedding, and Bari was there when i needed her EVERY TIME. She has the most amazing vendors suggestions and they ALL put out AMAZING work. Sam helped me secure a sitter for my special needs daughter so I could enjoy my day to the fullest while knowing my daughter was safe. This team is wonderful, amazing, attentive, supportive, compassionate, literally ALL THE THINGS.
“I would recommend Bari and her team to ANY bride who needs
more than a wedding planner but a friend.”
lori b.
We are from out of town so needed help with all the vendors and local needs. Blush Bouquet handled everything for the year+ that we were planning. It felt more like a really organized best friend than a wedding planner. They helped with everything with the love and attention that family would give you. Bari brought the best vendors to us, making it hard sometimes to choose who to go with. When things went sideways (they always will), they were handled before we could blink. Day of was so smooth with Bari and Antonia running the show. 15/10, would highly recommend.
"Bari and her team were a gift from the heavens
for my daughter's wedding.”
maggie h.
These incredible women worked tirelessly to ensure that our wedding day went flawlessly, and it absolutely did! They are the sweetest, most caring, and hardworking individuals I’ve ever met. They stood by me during my most challenging moments and also gave me the space I needed when things got overwhelming. I genuinely can’t imagine our day without them, and I’m honestly saddened that our working relationship has come to an end. Don’t hesitate and book this planner right away!
“Please do yourself a favor and hire Blush!
I genuinely can’t imagine our day without them.”
morgan f.
I truly can’t say enough good things about Blush. Their recommendations were spot-on, and their experience and instincts gave me complete confidence that I was in the best hands. They kept me on track, made the planning process feel manageable, and brought such a calming energy to it all. When wedding week arrived, I was actually able to relax and enjoy it because they had everything under control. Beyond their talent as planners, they are just exceptional people. They treat you like a best friend, they care deeply about their couples, and pour their hearts into making sure everything runs seamlessly.
“I kept waiting for the ‘stressful part’ of wedding planning to hit
- but thanks to the Blush team, it never did."
