Blush & Bashful Events -

Anna Lea Strickland

If I could give more than 5 stars on this review I would because I could write a novel on how wonderful Blush and Bashful events and our planner Erica Thomas have been.

My fiancé and I have been engaged for 15 months, so my family and I chose to do the full service planning package which has given us ample time to get to work with Erica and her team. Erica is all things you want in a wedding planner: Detail oriented, friendly beyond words, organized, timely, patient, extremely knowledgeable of the industry, and so passionate about what she does. Not to mention her problem solving skills are impeccable if anything does happen to come up that you might be stressed about, she comes up with a way to resolve it almost instantly. I would recommend her to any bride trying to plan their big day because she will make sure it is the wedding day of your dreams. She doesn’t miss a deadline, handles hundreds of vendors and makes it look easy (when it’s definitely not) and even has great taste when it comes to making recommendations on decor ideas, florals, invitation suites, and all the little details that will make your wedding day so unique and beautiful. She makes sure that all you have to worry about as a bride is the fun stuff, while she handles all the behind the scenes chaos and NEVER misses a beat.

We were recommended by our venue wonder to use Erica/Blush and Bashful Events and it has been the best use of our money in the entire wedding planning process. The venue owner Jakob had a list of all the pre approved wedding planners that he works with, but told me, “Erica won’t just be a planner, she will become a lifelong friend.” And BOY was he right!! She made all of our planning meetings so much fun whether it was a meeting at the venue, a zoom call or even a phone call on a busy day, and made sure you were feeling hopeful and positive of all the planning to come. Everyone tells you wedding planning is so stressful, but if you use a planner like Erica and her team, you will have quite the opposite experience. If you are looking for someone who will not just be a planner, but also become someone that you look forward to speaking with (because you will be talking to your planner A LOT) then Erica is your girl.

I cannot begin to put into words how much Erica and her team helped me out. I was in school while trying to plan everything and did not always have the time to dedicate solely to the wedding. Erica had a thorough list of trustworthy vendors that I used and could not have been more pleased. She was in constant contact with everyone and she also kept me on track with what I needed to be doing. She always emailed me back in a timely manner and answered all of my crazy questions. The part I appreciated Blush and Bashful the most was on my wedding day. Everything went so smooth and I did not have to think about anything else because Erica and her girls handled everything that came up and thought of things before they could even be an issue. I seriously cannot say thank you enough to Blush and Bashful.

I have been putting off writing a review of Blush and Bashful because I have simply not been able to come up with glowing enough words for how truly magnificent they are! If you have been thinking about maybe not hiring an event planner because you think you can handle it yourself, think again! Erica, the maven of all things wedding, is the most indespensible hire that I could have decided on in the process of planning my wedding. You will NEVER regret having her by your side, in fact quite the opposite! I had an unusual situation with my wedding. My husband and I live in NYC and were planning a wedding in GA. This was a task in and of itself as decisions can be tough when you are not physically close. Erica made sure we had all of our ducks in a row from day one and was an amazing liaison between us and all of her and our trusted vendors. We were two months away from our date when covid hit and had to postpone about three times. It was a nightmare emotionally, as you can imagine. Erica was a friend, my go to sounding board, my creative and planning goddess and my right hand woman through every reschedule. She listened when nobody else could and made sure that my stress levels were kept at bay so I could finally enjoy my wedding day. I truly could not have managed any of it without her. On the day of, when it finally was all happening, she was just radiating joy and excitement for us and for the way everything turned out. I admire her and how she took charge of everything on the day of like a boss. Trust me, you want Erica’s unique and radiant energy, amazing organizational skills and beautiful creativity around you as you plan your wedding. You want to book her yesterday!

Working with Erica was such absolutely everything I could have asked for! She was so helpful throughout the wedding planning process especially as the date drew near and it felt like the todo list was never ending! She was so helpful with reaching out to vendors and making sure everything was taken care of before our wedding day. Day of, Erica and Amberly were AMAZING and made sure everything for our wedding went perfectly! I would absolutely re-hire them in a heartbeat!! Thank you Erica and Amberly for everything!! xo
