Hamptons inspiration in Kansas City
Abbey & Jordan’s Wedding
Abbey and Jordan's wedding was a breathtaking celebration held on a flawless September day in Kansas City, Missouri. Surrounded by family and friends who traveled from near and far, they exchanged vows on the meticulously manicured lawn of the Kansas City Country Club, a venue rich in elegance and history.
Abbey envisioned transforming the stately country club, where she had spent her childhood attending swim meets, into the exquisite setting of her dreams. She chose a refined palette of blue and white, with cascading hydrangeas adorning the regal king’s head table, creating an atmosphere of timeless sophistication.
Specialty linens from Citrus Table were elegantly draped throughout the ballroom, beautifully capturing the essence of a classic Hamptons-esque wedding within the pristine confines of the country club. The celebration reached its peak with dancing under the stars on the expansive terrace, as guests swayed to the enchanting live music by the talented band, Twice on Sunday. The evening was filled with laughter and joy, as the couple and their guests created cherished memories.
In keeping with the couple’s personal touches, Jordan requested perfectly frosted sugar cookies (after much deliberation and taste-testing, Blue Chip Cookies emerged as the winner) to accompany the wedding cake from Dolce Bakery in Prairie Village, KS, adding a sweet and delightful conclusion to the sumptuous meal.
Abbey and Jordan's wedding was truly unforgettable, with memories beautifully captured by the talented Bailey Pianalto and Baysinger Films. Planning their wedding was a labor of love, a year-long adventure filled with excitement and anticipation. We crafted a vision of elegance, guiding us in selecting a dream team of top vendors in the Kansas City market. Our monthly planning meetings were creative deep dives, meticulously attending to every detail—from intricate stationery design to custom embroidered sashes, and the day's timeline. We balanced thoughtful planning with artistic flair, ensuring each element enhanced the charm. My love for precise logistics ensured the day flowed effortlessly for the bride and groom, family and friends, and our vendor team. The magic lay in the details and collaboration, bringing Abbey and Jordan's dream to life in a day of elegance and warmth.
Beyond the beautiful setting and flawless execution, what truly made this day special was the overwhelming feeling of love that filled the air. Family and friends gathered to celebrate this momentous occasion, showering the newlyweds with heartfelt congratulations.
Abbey and Jordan embarked on their wedding planning with a sense of excitement, choosing our full planning package, which they described as their best decision. They shared:
"We had an incredible wedding planning process with Abby! She started working with us about 12 months before we got married. She was very involved with vendor selection and recommendations. She reviewed and revised contracts that saved us money, and we felt confident signing them."
The couple appreciated our monthly meetings, where they could discuss immediate tasks and utilize the helpful checklist on the website we set up for them. Abbey and Jordan felt comfortable reaching out between meetings, noting that:
"She was super responsive in between our monthly meetings, and we never felt like we were bugging her with the littlest of details."
Their trust in the process allowed them to enjoy their wedding week stress-free, sharing with their guests who asked 'how are you feeling?':
"We have an amazing planner who is coordinating everything between our vendors. She’s really letting us enjoy this week leading up to our big day."
As one chapter ends, Abbey and Jordan embark on a beautiful journey as husband and wife, eagerly anticipating the creation of countless precious memories as they begin their family. From my perspective as the wedding planner, building a friendship with Abbey and Jordan has been a wonderful experience and honor. Seeing their wedding day come to fruition marks the end of our planning journey, but the bond we've formed will always remain special
