Visionary design details and a thoughtful team!

Rachel and Crystal are both a joy to work with. They celebrate you each step of the way and know how to make the wedding planning as stress-free as possible. And the florals and design -- don't think twice! Rachel took my jumbled up words and ideas and made the most picture perfect arrangements. People are still talking about the floral arrangements weeks after the wedding!

Dream Team

11/10 recommend reaching out to Rachael and Crystal at SDD. Our Venue (Uptown Indigo) actually recommended Rachael when we inquired about a local day-of coordinator. When I first reached out to SDD, I knew the overall vibe I wanted to have for the wedding, but was on the fence about the type of theme/colors/flowers/etc. Rachael consolidated all of my ideas and presented me with a mood board that captured everything I envisioned and more. Her packages were surprisingly affordable and could be modified to meet our financial needs. We decided to choose SDD for planning AND floral/design. It was our best investment in the wedding outside of the venue. She took so much stress off of my shoulders and was AMAZING day of. Everything flowed beautifully and our frequent communication was most helpful to settle my concerns.

Truly Magical

The ladies at ScreenDoor Diaries are so incredibly talented, and I am so thankful to have been one of their clients. Our wedding day was one of the most magical days of my life, and I will forever be so thankful for their hard work and dedication. I used their full service planning and coordination package as well as their floral and event design. Every detail was truly exquisite from the coordination of my vendors throughout the planning process, to the arrangement of the lounge furniture, to all of the beautiful flower and greenery work, our place settings, and their impeccable day-of-coordination. They were able to take my original vision and turn it into something so much more than I could have imagined. My breath was taken away when we saw the final product of their hard work! They executed our wedding day to true perfection. It was so fun to work Rachael and Crystal in planning my wedding- they were so supportive of me and my vision! I will cherish the memories of my wedding planning process with them and my mother, as well as my beautiful wedding day forever!
