The Main Event By Emily

About

We are so happy you’re here! We are a full service florist, event designer, and wedding coordinator based in Smithfield, Virginia and traveling well beyond. No matter what aspect of your wedding you need our help with, we are ready to turn your vision into reality. We have over 15-years of experience finding ways to reflect the hosts throughout the design plan, and believe that no two events should be the same. If you’re looking for a team who prioritizes making your event unique and memorable, you’re in the right place.
- Design: Designing events is how we got our start. We are passionate about getting to know each couple that we design for and understanding what is most important to them. Each event should be unique, and design is a great way to do that. Our passion for making events true representations of our clients and their personalities is unmatched by any other designer. Our goal is to create an event in which your guests see personal touches of you and your fiancé throughout the décor. We will work with you to turn your vision into reality. Don’t have a vision yet? That’s ok, too! We love helping clients discover what they want their event to look and feel like.
- Flowers: Flowers are such a staple at any wedding, and what better way to let them shine than to have them fully integrated into your design plan? We aren’t just a florist, and we aren’t just a designer. Being both allows us to create stunning floral arrangements that are truly one of a kind and compliment the décor seamlessly. We design stunning bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, centerpieces, and more. While we do offer floral services as a stand alone option, we love being able to seamlessly tie design and flowers together for our clients. This allows us to create continuity throughout the event. Booking us for both design and flowers is a decision you won’t regret.
- Coordination: Our coordination package finds the happy medium between month-of coordination and full-service planning. We believe that every couple should enjoy their engagement season, and month-of coordinating often doesn’t allow for that. We are pleased to offer an option that begins 60-days before to better serve our clients. It includes everything you may need from timeline creation, vendor management and referrals, rehearsal services, and two Coordinators to direct everyone and make sure everything goes smoothy.
- The Formal Wear Boutique: Our Formal Wear Boutique offers a wide variety of formal attire and accessories. We have over 200 wedding dresses (cosigned and new), as well as more than 500 formal dresses that range from prom dresses to mother-of-the-bride dresses, and everything in between. We are also proud to offer tuxedos and suites from Jim’s Formal Wear, both for rent and for purchase. Need accessories? We’ve got you covered there, as well. We have shoes that vary in size from child to adult, formal jewelry, handbags, and more.
- The Gift Shop: Our gift shop boutique is filled with unique gifts and treasures, many of which are locally made. We have a large selection of gifts perfect for parents, wedding party members, brides, and grooms too!
The best way to inquire about our packages and availability is to submit an inquiry via the 'Contact Us' form on our website. We can't wait to meet you!

I always love working with Emily's team on weddings! She thinks of every detail and makes such a smooth day happen! It doesn't matter if the bride and grooms wedding is a barn wedding, a ocean side wedding or a country club wedding, it will be elegant with Emily! I always recommend my brides to The Main Event!

Emily and her staff always go the extra mile to make sure your event is perfect. She offers a lot of different services so no matter what your budget is, she has a product or package that will help make your big day a lot less stressful!

I really enjoyed working with Emily and Alanna! Their decorations were beautiful and Alanna did an excellent job with all day-of coordination. I look forward to working together again soon!
