Blush+Bloom Event Management
planning help for the homestretch
Event Management (often known as Month of Coordination) is for the couple who has everything planned, but would like professional assistance for the final touches. After all, you can’t be the bride AND trouble-shooter, decorator, and coordinator on the wedding day! This life-saving service also means that your mom, family and wedding party also get to enjoy every little moment as well.
Trust us. . .you don’t want to work your own wedding!
Our associate team will focus in on the month leading up to the BIG day including your timeline creation, pre-planning meetings, and 10 hours of Day-of Service.
Worried about who will clean up at the end of the night? You can also add on event clean up or teardown at the end of the night. Let Blush + Bloom take care of the work for you so you can savor every moment on your special day!
Please note: The vast majority of the services we provide are full and partial planning. This option is definitely subject to availability.
Transparency in pricing
Event Management starts at $2850 and up.
You’re probably asking yourself, what would make it go up?
Every wedding is vastly different from guest counts, locations, and cultural traditions to the number of events you’re planning around the actual wedding day like engagement parties and rehearsal dinners. These often require extra planning hours and staffing needs.
We also never know what we’re fully walking into when it comes to double-checking everything that needs done in the very short amount of time right before the wedding. Depending upon what major tasks might still need completed, we may have to put in extra planning hours due to the time crunch.
let’s jump in!
We’ll begin by scheduling a one hour discover meeting with you and any key decision makers that you wish to be present.
This is our time to get to know you, gather all of your wedding details and assess where you are in the planning process, especially what needs our immediate attention.
CORRESPONDENCE & ORGANIZATION
Through email, we can arrange phone conversations as needed with your Associate Planner. This occurs within our 10-5pm business hours Tuesday-Friday, unless otherwise scheduled.

VENDOR COMMUNICATION
Communicate to vendors essential planning details like vendor schedules, floor plans, timelines, setup and tear down plans, etc.

Blush+Bloom is the point of contact should anything arise on the wedding day - we will always take care of any "pop-up" issues to the best of our ability so the client is not bothered throughout the evening.
Note: Tear down/clean up services are NOT included with Event Management/Month-of Services. However, you can add on this service for an additional fee and we will work with your vendor teams to pack up your personal decor and coordinate vendor pickups.
Are there any services that you do not provide?
Yes, while we diligently work to design, organize, plan, and oversee all the aspects of your wedding, we are not installers or laborers. We do not set up tables, chairs, move large installations like wedding arches. However, we can add this labor onto your total should the vendors you booked not provide these services.
This is another reason why booking our preferred full-service vendors is so important. We intimately know what labor they provide for set up and teardown, and how all of this fits seamlessly into our timelines, floor plans, and labor schedule.
Here are the specifics:
We are not responsible for setting up your arbors, decorating your arbor, or removal of arbors/floral.
ALL floral MUST be placed by your florist, including ceiling installations, arbors, or other large installation.
Your ceremony chairs MUST be set up and removed by your rental company or venue. If they are not, you will be invoiced $3 per chair/
Any decor items that you provide need to be unpackaged, price tags removed, batteries placed inside, and be ready to set out. Depending upon what these items are, our team can place a few of these items or your other vendor teams will be given instruction if they’re larger items.
We do not pickup, place, set, or pack up at the end of the night any decor/rentals by Partydreams Ltd. If you do book their rentals and do not have a full plan for delivery, setup, teardown and return, you will be invoiced an additional $1,500.
Your catering/bartending teams are responsible for all bussing of tables and trash removal.
The Blush & Bloom team will not climb on ladders to hang decor for safety purposes.
