We got married at the Blue Dress Barn this summer and our entire wedding day was like a fairytale--we still can't get over how beautiful everything was. The greenery and grounds of the BDB are unmatched and our guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful everything was. Amelia is helpful and easy to work with and Georgia is lovely as well. The barn staff left the florals up on the arch and in the barn from the night before, which was such an incredible surprise because they were so gorgeous. The getting ready areas for the bridesmaids and groomsmen had so many beautiful & intentional details that made it so special for us. The venue is also well known by other vendors in the area as well since it's been around for so long (23 years!), and so working with our catering staff (Classic Catering), photography (Spencer Penfield) and DJ (DJ Jennefa) was a breeze. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a single thing. We feel so grateful we were able to spend our favorite day with all of our friends and family at this beautiful venue! Thank you, Amelia!

I couldn’t say it enough, hiring White Aster Planning for my day of coordinating was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. Amy was so helpful in organizing all of my thoughts in the weeks leading up to the big day, she calmed all of the anxiety I had about planning. She did an Amazing job wrangling everyone and making sure we all knew what to do during the rehearsal. And when our wedding day finally arrived, Amy was prepared, organized, and ready to make our wedding dreams come true. Because of her, we were able to relax and be in the moment while getting ready to walk down the aisle. She sent me pictures throughout the morning to make sure everything was perfect. And she definitely took my vision and brought it to life. We kept hearing from our friends and family the same 3 rave reviews, the food was delicious, the venue was magical, and Amy was Amazing. I highly recommend reaching out to White Aster Planning if you are considering having a wedding coordinator. You won’t regret it!

The venue itself was/is absolutely gorgeous. The pictures on the website, or social media, help show how beautiful it is, but in person, it is so much more beautiful. The communication from the owners and managers were excellent. Our caterer backed out about 4 months prior to our date and the manager helped us by offering different recommendations within our budget. We did not have to deal with this since our weather was perfect, but they have a very good backup plan that works well for unseen weather. Overall, I will recommend this venue fully to anyone interested.

5/5 — Absolutely Exceptional We had the absolute joy of working with Rikilee from Get Lucky Photography for our August 31 wedding, and we could not be more grateful for the magic she created. From start to finish, truly, from the entire wedding weekend. She and her second shooter captured every moment with an eye for beauty, emotion, and authenticity that is rare to find. Our ceremony took place in a greenhouse on a friend’s farm, and somehow Rikilee managed to translate the atmosphere exactly as it felt: warm, intimate, a little whimsical, and totally us. She intuitively understood how to use the natural light, the greenery, and the environment to make every photo feel alive. The images she delivered are more than photographs…they’re memories we can feel when we look at them. Beyond her artistry, what really stood out was her presence. She was calm, confident, kind, and organized. She gave direction when we needed it, blended seamlessly into the background when moments were unfolding naturally, and made everyone, from bridal party to family to guests, feel comfortable and cared for. It was like having an extra friend there who just happened to be documenting everything perfectly. Her second shooter was equally incredible, capturing angles and candid moments we never would’ve seen otherwise. Together, they didn’t miss a single detail. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, creative, and genuinely invested in telling the story of your day, book Get Lucky Photography. We are forever grateful for the images we now have. Timeless, vibrant, emotional, and truly reflective of who we are and the love we celebrated. We would choose Rikilee again a thousand times over. — Devon & Yvonne

McKenzie is amazing! She made taking wedding photos so much fun — even the people who normally hate pictures (my now husband) were laughing and having a blast. She’s super chill and easy to be around, but also somehow keeps everything perfectly on time (a true wedding-day miracle). Nothing felt staged or awkward — she captured all the real moments and emotions while keeping the vibe light and natural.

We will come onsite to your getting ready location to help ease any stress from the morning. Let us be part of your big day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was so happy with my hair and makeup from my wedding day. I had a super complicated updo that required two practice sessions, and my hair stylist was so patient and willing to work with me until we figured out the exact updo I’d had in mind. I have a ton of hair and it’s long and she was so incredible at coming up with ways to get the exact hairstyle I’d imagined. My makeup artist was wonderful too! I got highlights and a quite a bit of sun (for me) after we did our trial run and she was able to pivot and make sure the makeup we did on my wedding day was perfect despite my skin tone and hair being drastically different than before. They were both lovely to work with and I was so happy with how things turned out.

We knew we wanted our wedding to be full of dancing, so our DJ was one of the first vendors we booked. We hit the absolute JACKPOT with Luxx and DJ Mike. Mike kept the party going and the only time our guests were leaving the dance floor was to grab another drink. Even our friends and family who don't dance were out on the dance floor tearing it up thanks to Mike. He did a great job mixing songs and keeping the energy high. We had so many guests tell us after the wedding it was the best music and dance floor of any wedding they'd been to. Mike was incredibly professional and easy to work with and we can't recommend him and Luxx Entertainment enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding in November 2025 using Classic Catering & Events for dinner, desserts, and our wedding cake, as well as having their sister company Once Upon a Bloom for our florist. Heather covered both areas stunningly well. For dinner we did the chopped steak, grilled chicken, green beans, salad, and Mac and cheese all in buffet style. Everything came out great, cooked to perfection. The chopped steak was especially tasty and a favorite with both me (the bride) and guests! And the fact that it came with a water, lemonade, and sweet tea stand was so nice for our guests who didn’t drink alcohol or for those who did drink, and needed to stay hydrated. For dessert we did an arrangement of small goodies including the cake shooters, and it also came out amazing. The cake shooters were my favorite of all the desserts, we even got to pick a variety of different cake flavors! And CC&E arranged everything to be picture perfect on the tables, bringing their own food stands which was a huge help to me. The cake was a simple but elegant two tier chocolate cake with white frosting. It also came out tasting great. It was affordable, which I appreciated, allowing us the ability to choose the traditional tiered cake over boring sheet cake but remain within our budget. With the floral arrangements, Heather went above and beyond. As a bride who knows very little about flowers, I did not give Heather much to go on when creating our bouquets and floral arrangements. And yet she took the pictures of me and my bridesmaids’ dresses, the wedding colors and themes, and the wedding Pinterest I had made, and was able to create incredible bouquets and arrangements, while also being aware of our budget! I was speechless seeing the bouquets and got so many compliments. The most impressive thing about this is the fact that Heather did all this work while only being able to email with me due to the fact that I live in a different state than AL and travel for work quite often. Even with an 8 hour time difference (for a month leading up to the wedding due to my work trip) her communication with me was effective and timely. Heather’s dedication and expertise is one reason why my wedding was so stress free! I highly, highly recommend Heather’s two companies Classic Catering & Events and Once Upon a Bloom to any bride in the Alabama area.

Beth was an absolute gem to work with! From start to finish she was professional and brought her professional opinion to my inspiration. I felt so confident in her skill set that she would deliver my vision and she did! Now to the important part. Not only were our cake and cupcakes stunning, the flavors were incredible. It is rare that cake tastes as good as it looks but they really did. If you are a bride or someone looking to officially book your baker for whatever your needs are, Beth is your girl. Beth thank you for bringing my vision to life, we are forever grateful

My husband and I both hate having our photos taken but Shawnia and her team made the process smooth and stress free. She was organized, communicative, and most of all, made it fun! She told us what to do and how to pose in a way that made the photos come out looking natural as well as capturing many great photos when we weren’t paying attention that really displayed our personalities and love for each other. Communication is amazing throughout the process and turnaround time on photos was insanely fast for how many photos we received. Would 100% recommend Oh Shoot Photography again and again!

I recently had the pleasure of getting new-to-me services at Alder: my wedding hair (Kristen) and makeup (Anne). Two of my bridesmaids and also my mom (she was with Kayleigh) had their hair and/or makeup here. For my makeup trial, I had no clear idea what I wanted. The trial was fine, but afterwards I realized I didn’t love it and Anne was very gracious about letting me do another trial, and made me feel 0 guilt about it, and as the person who is forever convinced that I’m a burden, I am so, so grateful for that. Second trial went great and I loved the look. Felt very much like myself but better! For hair, I had a particular look in mind, and the trial went amazing and was everything I wanted! My actual wedding day was on a weekday and my party was small, so our hair and makeup were done at Alder (they will go on site if you have a minimum number of people) which was a relief to me because my venue’s getting ready area was not well lit, and Alder’s decor is always on point. We had some hiccups about appointment time (I forgot to factor in the fact that my venue was an hour away from the studio and my bridesmaids scheduled independently) but Kristen, Anne, and the Alder team were accommodating and again, didn’t make me feel like a burden even though I 100% should have scheduled all the appointments at the same time to avoid that problem in the first place. I’m not perfect! They even let us bring in breakfast while getting ready and it was just an all around good time. I felt like a princess, and my bridesmaids and mom looked so gorgeous!.

Hi there my name is Jennifer, I'm a florist who has a home studio in Southwest MI But I travel throughout the state. I love working with brides to help bring their vision to life and I would love the opportunity to do the same for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had such a wonderful experience working with Saint Rose Florist for our wedding! Jennifer was amazing from start to finish—extremely communicative throughout the entire planning process and truly a joy to work with. She took the time to understand our vision and helped us identify exactly what we needed for our floral arrangements. On top of that, she provided clear, helpful instructions on how to care for the flowers the day of, which made everything go smoothly. Jennifer delivered everything right on time to the venue, and the bouquets and boutonnieres she created were absolutely stunning—elegant, fresh, and even more beautiful than we imagined. We’re so grateful to Jennifer and the Saint Rose Florist team for helping make our day feel so special. Highly recommend!

I am so glad we hired Marco for our wedding florals. He was magnificent. The day of the wedding, I was beyond impressed about how all the florals looked. It was more amazing than I even envisioned. Him and his team are beyond talented. Throughout the process of wedding planning, Marco was super communicative and helpful. He was thoughtful in helping me stay as close to my budget as possible. I also appreciated how he worked with my other vendors as well to make our day as fabulous as possible. Marco truly cares about his clients. I couldn't recommend him enough!!! Thank you for everything.
