let’s chat abigail marie events!
Abigail Marie Events was born from 2000’s TV shows. TLC’s Four Weddings and Say Yes to the Dress sparked a great passion for weddings, while Food Network’s Barefoot Contessa inspired meaningful moments shared over delicious food.
In Say Yes to the Dress, some dresses look just fine on some brides, while they look incredible on others. It’s not the dress that makes the bride, it’s the bride that makes the dress. Just like it’s not the wedding that makes the couple, it’s the couple that makes the wedding. There are millions of gorgeous weddings all over social media and the internet. Find the one that fits you the best. The theme, colors, photography style, and general vibe of the day should give you the same glow that so many brides have found on Say Yes to the Dress. The day should feel like you.
While the scoring on Four Weddings can be a bit toxic, the couples are not afraid to be themselves and lean into what makes them happy. Many of the weddings on the show have the same flow (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception) that still exists today, but don’t face influences from social media. There are unique themes, color schemes, and guest activities, and the best part is each and every couple is proud of what they’ve put together. They're confident that the luxury honeymoon is theirs because they know their wedding day was spectacular. They don’t need anyone, including social media, to tell them.
When we say “intimate and intentional moments,” we mean the moments that feel like you. The moments where you’re not afraid to lean into the unique parts of yourself. Moments that can be as simple as opting for a dessert other than cake or as complex as ditching dancing at the reception for hours of karaoke, an intense game night, or a massive “who knows the couple better” Kahoot showdown. Trends will come and go; take the ones you love, leave the ones you don’t, and most importantly, make your own up along the way.
With that being said, we know that thousands of trends pop up on your feed every single day, and figuring out what you love can be easier said than done. Abigail Marie Events is here to help you sort through endless posts to find and create ideas that encompass you, your partner, and your wedding, all while reducing the dreaded decision fatigue many couples encounter while planning.
“Wedding trends will come and go; take the ones you love, leave the ones you don’t, and most importantly, make your own up along the way.”
Your wedding reception is essentially the most important and most complicated dinner party you’ll ever throw. A great reception elevates and expands the best parts of a dinner party. The food is spectacular, the drinks are flowing, and the conversations are lively and exciting. There is, after all, an epic love story being celebrated. Dinner is so riveting that guests can’t help but let out all of their joy and celebration on the dance floor.
No one does dinner parties better than Ina Garten. Every decision is made with careful thought, from how the dishes pair to how the setting impacts the flavor of the food and the flow of the conversation. Ina isn’t afraid to mix things up and try something new, and you shouldn’t be either. Get creative with your food menus, venue setups, and speciality beverages. Give yourself some extra time to flow through the day and keep a relaxed state of mind. Curate an experience for yourself and your guests with peaks of excitement and warm, slow moments to connect and celebrate.
Abigail Marie Events was born from the idea that each couple and, therefore, each wedding day is special and unique. We strive to create bursts of great excitement and celebration, balanced with intimate, mindful, warm pauses that keep your energy high and grounded. We’re here to guide each couple through planning, execution, and problem-solving with the charisma of Randy from Say Yes to the Dress, the southern charm and sweetness of Lori from Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta, and the deep care of Ina from Barefoot Contessa. Our framework is the 2000s TV show that many of us know and love. We cannot wait to go on your planning journey with you!
Much love,
Abigail
