Episode 22: wedding dos and don’ts with event planner, jessica kuipers

There’s no denying that your wedding day is one of the most memorable and joyous days of your life, and I trusted my big day with Jessica Kuipers, a Santa Barbara-based wedding planner. I think that most brides will agree that wedding planning can be exhausting and overwhelming, so thank goodness for wedding planners (worth every penny in my opinion).

Jessica is an event planner that serves California and world-wide destinations. Her company, Onyx & Redwood, specializes in designing high-end luxury weddings and her work has been featured in Elle Japan, Martha Stewart, and Brides. When it comes to weddings, Jessica believes that luxury doesn’t need to be boring and edgy can still be elegant. Her whole business motto revolves around the simple concept that your wedding is 100% about you and your partner. Jessica’s philosophy is all about the “Permission to be Yourself.”

In today’s episode, we discuss wedding trends, staying creative in the event industry, destination weddings, mistakes brides (or grooms) make, and so much more! Plus we chat about our own weddings – what we cherished, what made it unforgettable, and what we would do differently today.
