Girl, I get it! Wedding planning is HARD! Especially if you’ve never planned one before, or if you haven’t gone to many weddings and don’t know how they should go.
I know that SO many things are running through your mind right now! Where do you start? What decorations should you use? What if you hurt someone’s feelings or make them unhappy?
It’s a LOT, isn’t it! And it can be so overwhelming, especially when you feel like you’re doing it all on your own.
But what if you didn’t have to feel lost on which things to do when, or worry about doing things wrong?
What if you had something that walked you step-by-step through this whole wedding planning process?
So that you could actually be super EXCITED about your wedding, instead of feeling stressed out about it all?
If this sounds like something that would be helpful for you, then keep reading! :)
Because your engagement is WAY too special to be stressful, love.
If any of this sounds too good to be true, it isn’t! I want you to know that this is 100% possible for you!
And I know that, because so many brides have used the method that we created, and they’ve gotten their Perfect Dream Weddings!
And we want you to get yours, too. :)
There’s 1 mistake in particular that I see SO many brides make. And the mistake is this:
Listening to what wedding planning experts say, because you think they know better than you do.
Let me explain why this is a mistake!
So maybe you’ve used The Knot wedding planning app. Or maybe you’ve downloaded checklists from Pinterest. Or maybe you’re thinking about hiring a wedding planner!
But girl. Who is the ONLY person in the entire world who knows what THE BEST wedding style is for your wedding?
YOU!
Who is the ONLY person who knows what your budget is and what you’re comfortable spending?
YOU!
Who is the ONLY person who knows which decisions are BEST for you and your fiancé?
YOU!
So who is the ONLY person who is THE BEST wedding planner for your Perfect Dream Wedding??
YOU!!!!
Girl, YOU are the best wedding planner out there! Not The Knot, not your mom, not your sister, not Pinterest, not a wedding planner...YOU!
And this is AMAZING news for you DIY brides out there!! Because this means you don’t have to dish out thousands of dollars to hire a wedding planner!
You just need the GUIDANCE and the KNOWLEDGE and the TOOLS to help you step into your perfect planner self.
The Dream Wedding Planning Membership is a month-to-month membership where you get help from professional wedding planners (us!) so that you can plan every detail you need for your wedding!
In addition to getting our guidance and expertise throughout the entire process, you also get all of our wedding planning spreadsheets, checklists, timelines, and resources so that you know the things you didn't even think about.
So when your wedding day arrives, your Perfect Dream Wedding will be completely planned!
By the end of your engagement, you’ll…
As women, we are so prone to having this fear of rejection. Feeling this need to people please our way through our wedding planning. What if people don't like our decisions? What if they don't approve, we make them upset, and they gossip behind our backs?
Underneath this desire to make people happy is actually a belief that we're not good enough. That we have to earn other people's love. That we're not worthy to receive love, and we have to earn it.
All of these things are actually baggage that we're carrying around! And if you dive straight into your planning without working through this baggage first, then you're going to bend over backwards trying to make everyone happy.
And by the end of your planning, you won't have YOUR Perfect Dream Wedding...you'll have somebody else's! Your mom's, or your sister's, or your mother in-law's...
But this isn't for their weddings, love. It's for yours!
So in this step, we're going to work through this baggage that you're carrying. These lies that you believe, deep down, that you're not good enough. That you're not accepted for who you are. Because GOD has so much more for you here!
And once we work through this baggage together, oh my goodness! You're going to feel SO much freedom! All that pressure to people please won't be there anymore! You'll still be honoring your family and friends, but you'll be doing it in a way where you won't be sacrificing what you and your fiancé actually want.
And then, you can plan your wedding from a place of joy and peace and excitement, knowing who you are in Christ and what He wants for you! :)
By the end of Part 1, you will...
So now that you've worked through your baggage and can make decisions from a place of joy and peace, it’s now time to plan!!
But you either have way too many ideas on that mile-long Pinterest board, or you have no idea what you want.
This is why you need this step!
Because together, we're going to walk through every single part of your wedding day. And we're not going to let the analytical, "I should do this" part of your brain be the leader here.
We're going to let your heart lead. Because way too often, we stuff down those desires that we actually want.
And by going through this step, your Perfect Dream Wedding is going to become so clear! We'll bring all your ideas into focus so you know exactly what you want for your wedding day:
What your dream venue is, the kind of food you want, your entertainment, who you should have as your bridesmaids...We'll walk through every part so you have clarity on what your Perfect Dream Wedding looks like.
By the end of Part 2, you will...
Okay! Now that you have clarity on what your Perfect Dream Wedding looks like, it's now time to set your budget and figure out your priorities!
Too often, brides just jump into the planning, don't set a budget, and just play everything by ear.
But honey, if you don't have a plan for your budget, then how in the world can you keep it on track?
If you do this, then what ends up happening is that you start spending money on things you think you should do and things you think are important.
And before you know it, you've spent wayyyyyy more than you want to! On things that actually aren't super important to you.
And because of that, things that you you DID really want, you now don't have enough money for.
Well, we DON'T want that to happen to you! :)
Which is why we have this step. In here, you're going to sit down with your fiancé, figure out tangible budget, and talk about your TRUE priorities.
Because here's some wisdom for ya right here: Not everything on that to-do list is a priority, love!
Together, we'll think through what is a priority for you? What are the most important things to you as a couple? What are your non-negotiables?
When you ride off at the end of the night in the limo, what made your wedding day absolutely perfect?
Because when you know your budget, and when you know what to spend it on (your priorities), then you can MAXIMIZE that budget! And things you didn't think you could afford, you're able to find room for!
By the end of Part 3, you will...
This fourth part is alllllllll about planning and putting those details together!
Sooooo many brides jump in and try to plan EVERYTHING all at once! (If this is you, don't feel badly! You're in the right place.)
And this leads to SO much chaos, stress, confusion, and hair-pulling.
Which is why, when we plan your wedding together, we'll plan everything using the Rule of 1 and the Rule of 3!
The Rule of 1 is that you're only going to plan ONE thing at a time. That's it! Just one! So if you're looking for your venue, then we won't go on and look for your caterers or another vendor until you have your venue booked!
And for each big vendor that you need (venue, DJ, photographer, bartenders, etc.), you'll only have 3 options at a time. So for your venue, you'll be looking at Venue A, Venue B, and Venue C.
No other options! Until you mark one of the venue options off the list. Why only 3?
Well, have you ever heard of Analysis Paralysis? When you have too many options on the table, you're paralyzed! You can't make a decision! And they all blur together.
So by using this rule (one thing at a time with no more than three options for each at a time), planning all the details will be wayyyy simpler, easier, and less stressful for you!
And you'll have our wedding planning timeline and checklist that will tell you exactly which task to plan when. You'll know, "Okay, I need to focus on this task today!" And then when you finish that task, then you can simply go onto the next one. :)
By the end of Part 4, you will...
Woohoo!! Girl, now that you have all the steps in place, you can enjoy every single moment of your big day!
You spent the time to work through your baggage, clarify your vision, set your budget and priorities, and plan every detail.
So now, everything is set and ready to go!
All you have to do is wake up on the wedding day, be pampered, show up, and enjoy the best day of your life. :)
And we know that there are usually always hiccups, so we'll set up an emergency plan just in case!
So then, if anything does go wrong, you and your fiancé won't have a clue about it. :)
By the end of Part 5, you will...

Before you jump into your wedding planning, you need to make sure that your heart and mind are right first! It's not okay to feel like you have to constantly please other people. It's not okay if you're feeling selfish when you're actually making decisions that are best for you and your fiancé. So let's work through these areas so that you're actually planning YOUR Perfect Dream Wedding and not everyone else's!
We know that your brain feels like a jumbled mess right now! This step will give you a super clear vision on exactly what you want your Perfect Dream Wedding to look like, whether you have too many ideas or have no idea what you want! In this step, we'll walk through every part of your wedding together so that what you actually want comes to the surface, and we'll create a vision board that you can use throughout your planning!
In this step, we'll create a tangible budget that you're comfortable spending on your wedding. Then, you'll actually sit down with your fiancé and figure out which things are the MOST important to you. This is so you can maximize your budget and make room for the things you didn't think you could afford!
In this step, we're going to plan your wedding using the Rule of 1 and the Rule of 3! We'll only focus on ONE thing at at time (your venue, caterer, dress, etc.), and you'll only have THREE options at a time to prevent the overwhelm of having too many options to choose from! You'll have your customized timeline and to-do list, that tells you every single task to do and when they need to be done by.
Now that your entire wedding is planned, you can now enjoy your day! With everything being taken care of, even the things that come up unexpectedly during the day, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy every moment.
You'll have access to all our wedding planning timelines, checklists, spreadsheets, and resources, from questions to ask your vendors to the tiny things you didn't even think about!
This is what we'll be using throughout your entire planning! It will have your own customized budget and timeline, and it will keep everything organized, from vendor payments to wedding dresses to hotel accommodations.
I know you have all these questions going through your mind: "What if I forget something?" "What if things go wrong?" "Will I be stressed the whole day?" With this checklist, you will know 100% that you have allllll the tiny details planned that you didn't even think of!

Chelsey was amazing!! We didn't have to worry about anything. She took all of the stress of the day off. We didn't even know until way later that our caterer was actually running almost an hour late, and she snuck them around the back quietly to set up right after our ceremony had already started. But of course, she didn't stress us out with this! She handled things so professionally and quickly.

Chelsey was so incredibly helpful in communicating with my vendors. I’m so glad I got to sit back and enjoy my big day while she did her thing! At the end of the night, even my DJ came up and told me in all his years of weddings, he has worked with many coordinators and was so very impressed with her professionalism! We’re so glad we chose her to help our big day run smoothly!

Chelsey was incredibly helpful with the entire wedding process. From giving us ideas on where to find things, recommending companies to use, or contacting people we had forgotten, the pre-wedding prep was a breeze! There were things I hadn't even thought to think of that she pointed out which otherwise could've ended in disaster. She was professional and super sweet (😊), definitely someone I would recommend!
Kayla W. from Garland, Texas
ALL TESTIMONIALS >The spreadsheet has been a lifesaver for helping me budget and keep track of my vendors and payments. You get a lot of spreadsheets that help you with your wedding day timeline, ways to save money for your wedding, and last but certainly not least is the best wedding planning excel sheet!
Emily P. from Dallas, Texas
ALL TESTIMONIALS >This course has been a stress saver and a great guideline. This is great for beginning your planning and if you have already started this is still helpful! You can start the course where you need to and go back to review the beginning if you missed anything previously.

You’re over here on Stressed Out Island. And you desperately want to get over to Perfect Dream Wedding Paradise! Well, you have 3 options...
1. Option 1, you can stay on Stressed Out Island and keep putting your planning off and keep procrastinating...So that by your wedding day, you forget a lot of things, and your wedding turns out to be the exact OPPOSITE that you want it to be…
2. Option 2, you can try to get over to Perfect Dream Wedding Paradise yourself! Maybe you take a boat or you swim to get over there. But there’s a looooooot of sharks in that water, babe. These sharks being stress. And not knowing what to do when. And alllllllll the opinions from everyone else and getting lost in that people pleasing maze. And odds are, those sharks are going to get you, and you’re going to be stuck in the “I Wish Wedding” waters.
3. Option 3, you can take my helicopter with me through the Dream Wedding Planning Toolkit! So that you go straight to Perfect Dream Wedding Paradise! No sharks, no stress...Just a big glass of champagne or margarita in your hand! ;)
So, my dear, if you really want your Perfect Dream Wedding, then it’s time for you to get on that helicopter and join the Dream Wedding Planning Membership.

I cannot express how helpful she has been these past few months. Chelsey reached out to me after one of my posts, gave me a call, and we talked for a good 30 minutes. A woman I barely know, took time out of her day to help in any way she could. I definitely recommend anyone who is planning a wedding to get in touch with her.
Samantha D. from Dallas, Texas
