My husband and I are so grateful we hired Ivory & Beau for wedding planning. We engaged them for the wedding management planning package, and unlike other planners that provide wedding management or day-of/week-of coordination, Ivory & Beau was involved as soon as we booked them (which was probably about 12 months out). They answered all of our questions as we started the wedding planning process on our own first, gave us a TON of referrals and recommendations for vendors, helped guide us with their very deep insight when we didn't know what to do next. They were essential for the several months before their management technically got started.

Once their management package officially kicked off three months before the wedding, we honestly didn't even notice that much of a difference because they'd already been in such frequent contact before that point. They kept us on track with a detailed checklist and to-do calendar through Aisle Planner, we'd have frequent check-in calls and emails, and they got directly involved with the vendors we'd booked to keep them on track as well.

Brittany was our direct contact and planner at Ivory & Beau. She was AWESOME. She immediately made us feel comfortable and secure when we felt very much out of our depth and comfort zone with wedding planning. We instantly felt incredibly safe in her hands. She never made us feel stupid or silly when we had a gazillion questions and non-traditional ideas. She is so experienced and has a lot of wedding (and life!) wisdom. We'd ask her random questions frequently to get her thoughts and she always guided us so well, introduced ideas we hadn't thought about, and validated our concerns and wants. She knows everything about weddings and really helped us make decisions because we knew so little about wedding stuff.

Brittany is simultaneously professional while still letting her bubbly and cheerful personality shine through. We had a bridal party of 32 (yes, you read that right) and even in times of stress trying to wrangle the bridal party, she remained calm, cool and cheerful. She also gives the best hugs when needed and is a calming voice of reason for a bride in meltdown (i.e. she talked me off a ledge when all the electricity in our suite went out the morning of the wedding and we had to pivot 17 ladies getting hair and makeup done into a last minute conference room).

Some items that Brittany really helped us work through were: vendor recommendations and bookings, spatial planning for the ceremony and reception, keeping us connected and in touch with our numerous vendors, creating a very detailed timeline that our whole party could stick to, and basically being a magician on the wedding day. On the wedding day, she seemed to be everywhere she needed all at once. One second she was driving my crying sister to the wedding venue because she got left behind after hair and makeup, the next minute she was ensuring a hotel room was fully vacated and cleared out before a checkout deadline, then the next minute she was back at the venue cleaning a blue stain off my dress hem. MAGICIAN I TELL YOU.

We also had Brittany help coordinate a separate wedding event and she was essential in coordinating communications with the venue, making recommendations for food trucks, helping with event set up and attending calls with vendors to keep everyone on track.

Before and after the wedding Brittany also helped us with pick-ups and drop-offs of various wedding items, which is such a helpful service. She even shipped a large wedding poster we’d thought we’d lost after the wedding when she ran into it at the venue weeks later when she was there for a different wedding!

After just a few months of working with Brittany, she truly felt like she’d become our friend. I know wedding planners and other vendors work with so many couples and plan so many weddings that I’m sure it can start to feel like they all run together. But we only got one set of wedding vendors for our one single wedding, and Brittany is so special to us. We will remember her forever and also will use her to plan future events (anniversary party, anyone??). We legitimately missed touching base with her frequently when the wedding was done. My husband and I fully intend to catch up with her for coffee or drinks the next time we return to Savannah.

We also worked with Ross at Ivory & Beau for florals. We had a relatively simple floral order because our venue provided ALOT in the way of florals and plants on property, but I&B absolutely nailed the vibe I was going for. We went back and forth a couple times with some minor changes and adjustments and they were patient with me changing my mind or trying to adjust certain aspects of the order. They also worked with me to incorporate certain items we’d purchased through the venue so we didn’t have duplicate costs.

I will never hesitate to recommend the Ivory & Beau team, and especially Brittany, for planning and florals to anyone getting married in the Savannah area. That was the best wedding purchase and vendor choice we made, hands down.

I've included several photos that show the beautiful florals (bouquet, ceremony florals and how they looked from sunset to twilight, and tabletop florals) and how Brittany helped us throughout the day (from carrying my train all day to having drinks in hand for us as soon as we walked out of the ceremony!).

I bought my wedding dress and floral arrangements from Ivory & Beau!
During dress shopping, the staff, especially Naomi, were all so excited for me and they made the experience so special. Naomi really cared and went above and beyond to help me find my dress. Every time I came back into the store for fittings with their alterations person Adrienne, who is also absolutely fantastic and a master at what she does by the way, Naomi remembered me and made me feel special. 100% would recommend I&B for dresses!! I wish I could do it all over again!

I&B floral was also an absolute win. Their communication was absolutely stellar. I kind of went back and forth a few times with what I liked, but they were unbelievably patient with me and so so kind. The colors they chose for my wedding were stunning!!! The flowers themselves were a little wilted, but fortunately no one but me noticed. I would absolutely recommend I&B for floral arrangement needs. They were fairly priced, beyond flexible, and produced quality work.

Thank you so much for helping make my wedding so so special and beautiful Ivory & Beau!!
