DESIGN MANAGEMENT
YOUR VISION
Tylkerria & Rebecca, thank you for your time today. I appreciated the early insight into what I'm certain will be a beautiful experience for the two of you — and for Camryn. While the details are still taking shape, this is the perfect moment to explore what's possible, and to define the vision and standard for your day. If you love our work and the consistency behind every event we touch, then you already understand the first layer of how — and why — we'll be a valuable part of your wedding experience.
WHAT DESIGN MANAGEMENT MEANS FOR YOU
Our team will listen first and guide you to a wedding day that feels undeniably yours. We value the emotion of wedding days but more importantly the value of memories and how important this moment will be for years to come. We think as planners first - focused on the long term value of decisions and how beneficial they’ll be to your desired experience.
We have opinions - that’s why you’re hiring us - but we don’t impose our own, we aim to enhance yours.
What’s Included:
Discovery & design identity - We focus on learning who you are, what’s your standard, and ultimately what you consider MUST haves for your design. Our intensive foundations meeting will give us access to extend recommendations and help you truly set a strong foundation for your entire planning process - not just the design.
Wedding Inspiration & Brand Direction - Yes, your wedding is a brand. At least we think it is. Details are the heartbeat of your wedding day - we’ll spend some time discovering this and thinking through the details.
Concept development - The “blueprint” of your design. This document is more than just inspiration, it’s the translation we aim to achieve. We pull specific images and explore mock-ups to inspire your final wedding design before we confirm your vendor team.
Floral & Rental direction - In person sourcing, direction, and overall management of your floral design team and rental selection. You trust us to communicate the vision and oversee to execution.
Lighting & Production Design - A valuable layer of any event experience. Bad lighting ruins photos, Great lighting enhances the vibe. Simply put. It’s a BLE standard and together we’ll determine which options are best for you.
Floor plan Development - We review inspiration and draft a beautifully crafted floor plan to suit your desired experience.
Day-of styling - Detail placement and overall enhancement. We make sure things appear clean across the board, holding the venue and vendors accountable to visual standards.
Final styling details - Linen touchups and management of place settings so every table reads exactly as intended down to the last fold.
This is the full scope of your design, handled as one seamless experience, not a list of pieces to choose between.
WHAT YOU WON’T SEE
The real benefits of design management are invisible to you. You'll see the room. You won't see what it took to get there and that's the point. Here's what's handled behind the scenes so you never have to think about it:
After-hours communication making sure every design vendor understands exactly what's expected
Multiple site-visits and design calls to confirm translation is executed as expected
Late night and early morning online shopping to source the perfect details and inspiration for your event
Vendor direction and coordination so the florals, lighting, rentals, and drape work as one
Catching the gaps before they become day-of problems
Oversight and management of design vendor setup and breakdown
This is the part of the work that doesn't fit on a line item. It's also the part that determines whether your vision survives execution.

“Yolonda is simply the best and truly has a gift!!! When My husband and I decided we wanted to have an elevated elopement, our first and only call was to Yolonda. We knew that BLE/The Detail Collective would execute our vision flawlessly! Yolonda helped us to find an amazing venue when our initial plans fell through. She made the whole process so much FUN and helped us to stay in the moment throughout the planning process. She executed our vision far beyond our wildest dreams and our guests are still talking about how beautiful the design was. She literally brought our Pinterest board to life! We were so sad when it was all over but we can’t to work with her and the team again on future events!!” - Client Testimonial, Google Review

“I don’t even know where to start, By Love Events & Designs well exceeded my expectations! Before I got engaged I knew I was going to hire By Love Events to plan my wedding based on previous work I had seen. From the minute we started planning Yolanda was so thorough, with understanding my vision, helping me conceptualize, and executing everything. All of our meetings were structured and detailed oriented. Once we got to the execution phase with working with vendors, the team made sure no corners were cut and ensured all the vendors would meet our expectations. Most importantly, BLE took the stress off my plate and I could enjoy really enjoy the planning process! When it came to the wedding today I was speechless! The execution was a 10 out of 10! BLE TRULY MADE MY DREAM WEDDING HAPPEN!” - Client Testimonial, Google review
