Where to even begin, I found Rachael from Bad Boss Bride a little shy of a year from my wedding date. I was immediately drawn to all of their work; their style is exactly how I wanted my wedding to look and feel. I hadn't found any other wedding planners who doubled as florists, it felt meant to be, and after having the most amazing day of my life, it was definitely meant to be.

From the beginning, Rachael was very communicative and super helpful, keeping me calm and helping me understand what I needed to do and what to expect. Something no one tells you about weddings, because how would you know when you haven't done it before, is how much work and planning go into it; I had picked a venue where everything needed to be hired: Catering, Band, Florals, Rentals, etc. Rachael helped assure me every step of the way, created lists based on my needs and wants (dietary restrictions & venue restrictions) of vendors that would be a good fit, and then worked with all of my vendors to create the most seamless day. Every time I felt somewhat panicked, I was able to text or email and my worries were gone.

The weeks leading up to my wedding were the most stressful weeks, and Rachael was on top of *everything*. I wanted a lounge area, Rachael made it happen. I wanted a back-up weather day-of option, Rachael made it happen. Every tiny thing I worried about, Rachael had a back-up, it was the most stressful, stress-free two weeks and I can't thank the team enough. Every minor detail, every contact, just, everything. If anything went wrong the day of, I had no idea. I hired Bad Boss Bride for their ultimate package, including design help, florals, and day of coordination, and it was the best decision I made for the wedding. Rachael took all of my ideas, made them better, and brought them to life in the most fairy-tale, dream of a wedding day I could have imagined. The visuals, florals, the setups, just, everything was beautiful. I never imagined I would have a magazine wedding, but I did, and it was all Rachael's doing. My wedding was perfect, I can't recommend Bad Boss Bride enough.

Rachael of Bad Boss Bride was the perfect person to work with to make our wedding vision a reality, we could not recommend her enough. From our first conversation it was evident that Rachael was able to be both experienced and level-headed to make necessary decisions and execute details, while also being creative and inspired enough to immediately understand and plus-up our vision, bringing everything from our florals to decor to levels we could have only dreamed of. Though I wanted to be very hands-on, working with Rachael for full planning and design was the best decision we made, as it came with a trove of helpful resources and frequent touch points to keep us feeling on top of the chaos and in the drivers seat (though we understand that it was Rachael steering our remote control car 😂.) Rachael introduced us to some amazing vendors that helped make the whole experience perfect all who attended, and she worked great with those vendors we did find on our own, bringing them into her process and keeping everything running smoothly.
In the weeks leading up to wedding day, Rachael managed all details and adapted her communication style to what worked best for us in our busy schedules. She went out of her way to address any last minute issues, even those well outside of her control. Important formalities such as Rehearsal were managed with both reverence and humor, which resulted in a perfect output on wedding day. The day-of details were executed perfectly, and Rachael often jumped in to mitigate issues and flawlessly execute all details better than we ever could have ourselves. The Bad Boss Bride team, Amanda Lydia & Mike, were all so kind and helpful, always looking out for ways to make our day great and bringing a warm and welcomed presence to the full experience. We had a lot of DIY projects and elements we brought into the space, and Rachael integrated them seamlessly into the design along with her rentals and those of other vendors—we had a beautiful, robust design all thanks to the vision and expertise of the Bad Boss Bride team.

From end to end, Rachael and team provided a fabulous experience that put us, the couple, at the forefront and allowed us to truly have the best day of our lives. Thank you thank you thank you, Bad Boss Bride!!

We loved working with Bad Boss Bride to make our wedding flowers pop. Rachael did a great job of understanding our aesthetic and creating flower arrangements and decor that fits both our aesthetic and budget. She was a great thought partner in thinking through trade-offs in decor and we really appreciated how organized she was. It was just a pleasure creating with her and our flowers felt magical!
