Logging In
Once we have a good bit of items ready to go for you in your portal and after you’ve officially booked us, we’ll send over a link to you to set up an account. Whenever you need to log back in, feel free to go to our website and click the “Clients” tab, there you will see resources to help you get to things!
In the meantime, bookmark the link below for quick access!
Getting Started
One of the first items we have you fill out for us is the “Bridal Party + Family Members” note under the “Notes” tab. Please delete any items that do not pertain to you.
Send us your contracts for us to upload for you. This allows us to review all the important things and set up contact information, payments (and their deadlines), and make notes on certain items that pertain to your logistics.
What does each Category Do?
Checklist - This is where you can see a full list of all the things that need to be completed leading up the big day and after. You can add tasks when needed, assign them to specific people (like a family member or your fiancé), add dates when they are due and organize tasks within each category.
Calendar - Think of this as a master calendar for all things wedding. Add things like showers, bachelor/bachelorette weekends, fittings, or anything else you can think of! As planning meetings and vendor meetings get scheduled with us, we’ll add these in as well. You’ll also see when payments are due to your vendors.
Timeline - A rough timeline/template was added whenever you set up the system, so feel free to hover over to edit or delete certain items. When you edit things, it also edits them on our side, so be careful! PRO TIP: If you make any large changes (i.e. change your ceremony start time, end time, or add in a big moment) please email us directly so we know.
Design Studio - If you are a planning client with us or a coordination client that has booked us for floral + décor, you’ll get this feature. Feel free to use this as your more organized Pinterest Board by adding photos and using the comment feature to describe items you like in that photo.
Guests - This tab is to help organize your guest list. Once you upload your guest list, you can then work on the seating arrangements by utilizing the Layout & Seating tab.
Layout & Seating - is where you’ll be able to curate a floor plan (if we didn’t drop one in already) to start placing your guests.
Contacts - This is where we’ll upload your contracts/invoices for each vendor and keep important information organized (like service times, payment deadlines, main contacts, vendor meals, big requirements, etc.)
Budget - Like a spreadsheet, this is where you can track and keep up with your expenses.
Notes - is one of the more important tabs, this will be where important items will be such as your consult and planning meeting notes. As the planning process progresses, we’ll also add lists such as a packing list (for your DIY items), a breakdown list, a photo/video list, etc.
Categories - if you want to edit certain categories or adding a category (like a mobile bar or a coffee cart), this is where you can do it so we can be sure to keep things organized!
