We rented chairs, canopy , linens, decorated church ceremony, catering and reception hall. This was at a very reasonable price. She even has party supplies at her store.

Our wedding day would not have been nearly as beautiful, enjoyable or memorable without Nancy's…read moreexpertise and truly gorgeous creations. My fiancé and I wanted a small wedding, particularly with COVID still looming, but flowers are a big part of my background and, for us, a small wedding did not mean minimal flowers. Our wedding venue, a train car at Game Train USA, was already beautifully appointed with a Victorian, garden theme, but being a bit non-traditional as a wedding venue we knew we would need creative help turning it into the perfect location for our ceremony and brunch. I took to Google and Yelp in search of a florist that was known for their creativity. When I came across reviews for Nancy, I had a feeling she would be "the one" for us. We met Nancy at Game Train for the first time and after spending just an hour with her touring the venue and discussing our ideas we knew we'd found our creative visionary. Not only were we impressed with Nancy's ideas, she was absolutely lovely throughout the entire process. Nancy asked that I send her my inspirational photos, which she incorporated into her vision, so when she created a proposal for us, it was very much in line with what we wanted. Seeing the flowers for the first time on my wedding day was enough to start a flood of happy tears. Gorgeous seems like such an inadequate adjective. My bouquet was stunning; beautifully made with the most amazing garden roses, specially sourced by Nancy. She also created two lush, floral archways, large urns of greens and florals, and florals for the chandeliers and serving tables. After our wedding was over and the celebrations finished, Nancy came back and collected everything from the venue so that we did not have to worry with anything except leaving for our honeymoon. We didn't just have a florist for our wedding. We had a partner who was invested as much as we were, and who never let us down. If you're looking for the same, look no further. You've already found the best!

I can't say enough good things about Nancy and her work. I simply sent her a photo or two of what I…read morewas looking for and she completely exceeded my expectations. Her work is phenomenal and the bouquet was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Like i said, she just went for it with my design and created exactly what I had in my mind. If you're in need of a fabulous florist, I would HIGHLY recommend Nancy- she did a beautiful job.

Imagine your perfect wedding. Now multiply that by 10 -- that is what you get with Bello & Blue!…read moreWe had the most perfect and romantic winter wedding ever, thanks to B&B. Way above and beyond our expectations! After interviewing a handful of wedding planners and extensively reviewing profiles of candidates, we decided to hire Lindsey for our complete wedding planning needs. She vastly stood out due to her ability to bring beauty, uniqueness, and charm to fruition in her event design aesthetics. Lindsey is extremely organized and knows event planning better than I imagine anyone else could. We would have been overly stressed and completely at a loss if we did not use her full-service package. She has exceptional taste and a classic & fresh perspective that allowed us to see more BEAUTY and LOVE in one day than we could have ever imagined ourselves! Lindsey and Kate designed stunning floral arrangements and decor set in a private residence that Lindsey found for us in Winter Park, CO during the winter. From the bride and groom's perspective, the planning process while working with Bello & Blue was essentially stress-free and very enjoyable. We were updated regularly and met with Lindsey frequently to make sure things were going smoothly. She has a list of preferred vendors she trusts and she will even negotiate prices on your behalf when working with them. She presents vendor options based on how your style matches with theirs and she will facilitate the meetings with key vendors so that she stays in the loop. We have so many great things to say about Lindsey, but we cannot put them into a mere review. All we can say is that she is the sweetest, most caring and professional person we could've ever trusted to plan the biggest party of our lives! If you are anxious about planning your dream day, look no further and trust her to bring your DREAM to LIFE more beautifully and seamlessly than you could ever imagine!

Kate also did my flowers. My flowers turned out great. However my schedule for the day of the wedding was very off we had about 3 hours before the ceremony were all my bridesmaids and groomsman were just sitting out in the open for everyone to see including my self. We could have started to get ready much later to avoid this. Also Kate did not help with gathering any of our things after the ceremony or even ensuring everyone was in the correct spots for the ceremony. In good of that the set up of the reception that we had planned was not followed through on the day. I did not feel supported by Kate on the day of the wedding. When we needed her my bridesmaids had to search for her to help us. I felt like the only reason why my wedding happed was because of my family and friends. Also Kate was supposed to take over communications with my vendors the last month before the wedding and that never happened. I confirmed with all my vendors and paid them. I would not recommend bello and blue to anyone as a wedding planner, as it was very expensive and they did not follow through on their actual agreement.

We found Milkglass through the Woodlands' all inclusive package and could not have been happier with how everything went. We were an unlucky June 2020 couple and Carly helped us reschedule our wedding and contact vendors to navigate the tough times. We finally had our special day in May 2021 and it was perfection. Carly helped us make decisions about flowers and decor, even meeting us at Event Rents multiple times over the long planning process (2 years with the covid delay!). Planning was really fun with Carly and team - you can tell that they genuinely enjoy what they do and they bring their experience and expertise to help. Everything was gorgeous on the day. I was able to truly relax and enjoy my wedding, while Milkglass took care of everything else. Our guests were certainly in a partying mood after the lockdowns and we started to run out of alcohol during dinner. Carly sent someone to buy more so the party could continue. She also packed up anything we left behind and delivered our decorations and my bouquet to my house the next day. If you're on the fence about a wedding planner or coordinator - DO IT!! This was the single thing that made the most difference on how perfect our day was!

I am not sure how anyone can have a wedding without Carly. We Carly was our day of planner…read moretechnically speaking, but I can't even imagine what it would be like to have her full services, since it truly felt like she helped us every step of the way as is. Our wedding was 135 people in Granby, CO, and Carly helped make it spectacular. Carly is incredibly knowledgable about the industry and Denver-vendors. She never led us astray with her recommendations, and gave us sound advice regarding selection of vendors based in Denver (vs mountain vendors). When we were looking into a caterer she had never worked with, she made the effort to reach out to several wedding planner friends to check in with them and get their opinions. She also kept us organized and on a timeline, and even reviewed all of our vendor contracts which is above and beyond a typical day-of planner. We communicated with her regularly starting from our engagement 1 1/2 years out from the wedding, and she was always quick to respond to emails and happy to answer any of our questions. This is very different from the policies of many of the other day-of planners we looked into, who really wouldn't get involved until 1-3 months out from the wedding. She also didn't have any rules about not responding to emails on Sundays of after-hours, which I've seen friends run into with their planners. Carly did a lot o behind-the-scenes communication with our vendors, often times without me realizing, which spared us from dealing with lots of logistical questions etc. She even sent an email out the week of our wedding, insisting that vendors use her as a primary point person from then until the wedding, so the we wouldn't be dealing with questions during the pre-wedding festivities. On the day of, she (and her assistant Ceecee!) was critical in doing everything from organizing the ceremony, directing people to where they needed to be, doing my bustle when my mother was occupied with something else, and corralled our guests to the appropriate locations as needed. You can tell that she came from New York since she is so organized, direct and efficient, which is exactly what we were looking for in a planner. I would highly recommend Carly and the MGP crew to anyone!

I originally was wanting more of a simple white cake, but after discussing with Nancy, we decided to base my cake around my cake topper (lovebirds in a nest) and my cake looked like a tree! Sounds a little different but, it was amazing! Most of our wedding guests thought it was a sculpture, it was that beautiful.
