They pair creativity with planning expertise to produce one-of-a-kind events that live up to couples' unique personalities and styles. Darla and Autumn work meticulously to understand clients' visions and make them a reality.
Experience:
As a certified wedding coordinator, Darla has both the talent and knowledge to execute once-in-a-lifetime events. Additionally, this professional planner has experience in interior design, cake decorating, and floristry, giving her an in-depth understanding of many elements of the big day. Autumn has a natural ability to keep track of the details, matching her mother's experience and creativity with organizational skills and determination.
Services Offered:
Couples have a choice of two package options with Grace and Lace RVA Events depending on their individual needs. Those with much of the planning already under control may opt for the Basics Package, starting two months prior to the big day. Darla and Autumn strive to provide frequent communication in the leadup to the celebrations, providing vendor referrals, to-do lists, and more. On the day, they can provide up to 10 hours of coordination services. For those at the very beginning of their wedding-planning journey, the Full of Grace Package is ideal. Some of the features of this service include:
I can't say enough AMAZING things about Grace and Lace. My husband and I, like so many other people, had our wedding plans flipped upside down due to covid-19. We were originally going to Mexico for a destination wedding but switched gears and found an Airbnb to rent out for our big day. I brought all of my plans on very short notice to Darla and Autumn and knew I was in good hands from the first meeting. They helped me coordinate with the remaining vendors on my list and reassured me when I was feeling anxious about it all coming together. They were so attentive to what I wanted and helped bring my vision to life, they thought of little details that hadn't even crossed my mind- making our big day better than I imagined. In the last week leading up to the wedding they handled all of the coordination with our vendor team so I could just relish in those final moments. Towards the end of the planning, Autumn and Darla felt like good friends who I'd known forever. The day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about a single thing except making it down the isle without tripping! It seriously was the best day of my life and I couldn't have done it without the help of Grace and Lace.
