Right from our first meeting, Linsey and Leah were quick to give me ideas and were eager to help. I was a DIY bride with most of our family and friends travelling to our wedding from out of state, so I needed a lot of help. From the beginning, The Double Knot offered impeccable organization and a level of expertise and advice that I would have been utterly lost without.
Looking to stick to a tight budget, but wanting to find the middle ground between affordable and elegant for my wedding was stressful. But these wonderful ladies were there every step of the way to suggest cost-effective alternatives and solutions. During the planning process, I can't tell you how many times I emailed or texted them with a question or request, and they were always accommodating. Not once did they make me feel like I was asking a dumb question - which I encountered with other potential vendors. They understand that, for a lot of us, it's our first go-around and we won't think of some details at all, or over-think other details.
When it came down to the final few weeks before the wedding, and everything went into overdrive, they had my back 100% and were on top of everything. They helped me make sure that I had all the final details worked out with every vendor, that all the "i's" were dotted, and every "t" was crossed. I felt 200% more prepared than I ever would have on my own. I had my in-town bridesmaid back out of going to my final dress fitting with me at the last minute, so Linsey met me there instead and learned how to help me get the dress on, how to lace the corset and bustle the skirt. There happened to be a situation with one of my Boise, ID bridesmaids that had been on-going for months. She'd ordered her dress and shoes well in advance at the David's Bridal there, but they messed up her order 4 different times. When we thought everything was resolved a week and a half before the wedding, I found that the store had ordered the dress in the wrong color (again). In an absolute panic, I texted Leah while I was at work and quickly explained the situation. Within 10 minutes she had used her connections at David's Bridal and contacted the store there and had a solution. I was in awe. My fiance and I had also been taking ballroom dancing lessons and learning a choreographed Rumba for our first dance. Three weeks before the big day, after the timeline had been set, we decided that we wanted to hire a videographer to film the dance and do a costume change later in the night to dance it a second time. Linsey, Leah, and Jessica didn't even blink when we brought it up, they just helped us work everything into the schedule and find a videographer that we could afford.
Having done all my decorations myself and not hiring vendors to do them, I was asking a lot for the setup of the ceremony and reception. We did hire a few people to help them setup within the last few weeks, but not once did these ladies ever complain about the amount of work my wedding entailed. On the day of the wedding, they set everything up perfectly - it was more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. They were so attentive to me, my groom, and our wedding party. They steamed my dress, my veil, and all the bridesmaids' and the flower girl dresses without ever having been asked to do so. They had an amazing emergency kit on board and mitigated every potential disaster that came our way. Linsey cinched up my corset dress (yes, twice) that evening, and bustled my skirt after the ceremony. The girls kept everyone on track and on-time throughout the night. They took so much stress off of me on the day of the wedding - I have no idea what I ever would have done without them. If my husband and I ever decide to do an anniversary party, we wouldn't have to think twice about hiring The Double Knot again. They kept us so positive throughout our journey, and everyone's spirits high on our wedding day. They are absolutely amazing and I would encourage everyone I know planning to get married to hire these gals. read more
