Crafting Your Perfect Wedding: The Diva Design Process

Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes when you book a design with a wedding planner? Or how they are able to bring it all together to meet your vision?

Planning a wedding can feel like a monumental task, but with Day of Diva, we believe the journey should be as beautiful as the day itself. Our wedding design process is thoughtfully structured to transform your vision into reality, ensuring that every detail reflects your style and love story. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we bring your dream wedding to life.

Step 1: The Kickoff Meeting

Our journey together begins with an in-depth design kickoff meeting around the 7 month mark out from your wedding. During this call, we dive deep into your vision, discussing everything from your favorite colors and design ideas to your budget and priorities. This initial conversation is crucial; it allows us to understand what matters most to you, setting the foundation for your personalized design. We often use Pinterest boards and inspo the couple has gathered to start building the vision.

Step 2: Creating a Custom Mood Board

Once we’ve gathered your ideas, we move on to crafting a custom mood board. This visual tool showcases inspiration photos that align with your wedding vision, along with a carefully curated color palette. It serves as a canvas for your style, capturing the essence of your desired atmosphere and theme. We want you to feel excited and inspired as you see your ideas starting to take shape!

Step 3: The Design Proposal

With your mood board approved, we transition into creating a comprehensive design proposal. This multi-page document is where the magic happens! It includes visual mock-ups of how each aspect of your wedding will come together, along with a detailed sourcing of vendors that fit within your vision and budget.

We consider every detail: from stationery and rentals to lighting, dance floor designs, backdrops, florals, favors, and even the cake. Our goal is to present a cohesive vision that encompasses all elements of your wedding, piecing them together into a stunning proposal complete with a detailed list of rentals and pricing for your review. This creates a one stop shop for you to get an overall idea of costs and what might fit within your budget.

Step 4: Review and Final Adjustments

After you’ve had a chance to digest the proposal, we’ll meet again to discuss it in detail. This collaborative session allows you to make any tweaks or adjustments, ensuring that the design reflects your vision perfectly. Once you’re thrilled with the plan, we send off all contracts and invoices for you to sign, moving us one step closer to your big day!

Step 5: Finalizing the Details

One of the standout features of our design package is the ongoing support we offer as your wedding date approaches. Once you have your final guest count, we assist with adjusting rental orders to fit your needs. We also provide help with stationery reviews and creating floor plans, ensuring that every detail is accounted for and that your day runs smoothly.

Step 6: Wedding Day

At Day of Diva, our goal is to create a wedding design process that is as enjoyable as it is efficient. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and our commitment to bringing your vision to life. With our structured approach, you can relax and enjoy the journey, knowing that every detail is in expert hands. Let us help you create a day that is not only beautiful but also uniquely yours!
