PLANNING EVERY DETAIL SO YOU CAN ENJOY EVERY MOMENT

Boutique wedding planning for Charlottesville, Richmond & Northern Virginia couples

Engagement is one of life’s sweetest seasons. It should be savored, not stressed about. But you’ll soon find (if you haven’t already) that overwhelm is inevitable for the couples who juggle wedding planning with a burgeoning career and overeager family members.

You deserve to enjoy this time. And our job is to make that possible.

Whether you’re dreaming of a lavish reception for 300 at a sprawling Charlottesville winery or envisioning an elegant and sophisticated loft wedding for 50 in downtown Richmond, no detail is too minute for our dedicated and experienced team.

Details Make the Difference

86,400. That’s how many seconds are in your wedding day. And you’re going to want to remember every single one of them when the day arrives.

But you won’t be able to if you’re already busy remembering 86,400 logistics about flower types and table dimensions and vendor phone numbers.

You deserve expert help from a team of qualified professionals who have been doing this work for decades. Your team should be able to anticipate and navigate any wedding day challenge, stay meticulously organized, and never miss a detail. Your team should have an eye for classic, timeless event design. Your team should understand that professionalism can still be warm, personable, and fun. You deserve to work with a team that will handle every detail so you can remember every moment of your wedding day.

That team is Details and Lace, and we can’t wait to work with you.

Fantastic!!

Melanie and her team did an incredible job! I initially booked Details and Lace after my phone interview with Melanie because she made me feel so relaxed about the planning process and even helped me brainstorm ideas based off of my wedding vision. I felt confident that she would be able to handle all of the details and she and her team certainly delivered! We ended up having amazing weather for our March wedding, so she offered to move our wedding ceremony outside and was able to manage that flawlessly just two days before our wedding, despite all of our vendors being prepared for an indoor ceremony. She worked with all our vendors behind the scenes to perfect our timeline and ensure that everything was running smoothly. Melanie, Rebecca, and Cynthea were there on our wedding day and all of them were truly incredible. I’m sure there were some issues prior to and on our wedding day, but we had no idea if there was and thought the day was absolutely perfect! Melanie and her team made me feel so calm throughout the planning process and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you Details and Lace!

Hiring Melanie was the best decision!

I cannot recommend Melanie and the entire Details and Lace staff enough! Hiring Melanie was the best decision we could have ever made. Melanie was a constant calming presence throughout the crazy wedding planning process. She made sure to listen to what my husband and I wanted, and was vital in ensuring that we had the best day ever. We could not have done this process without Melanie, and knew that our wedding was in good hands with Details & Lace!
