Design Direction for Couples Who Want Clarity

Not more opinions. Not more Pinterest.

Actual decisions.

If you’re stuck second-guessing colors, questioning the layout of the venue, unsure what “fits,” or stuck between too many ideas, this is the pivot point. You don’t need more inspiration.

You need design direction.

Virtual Support • Vendor-shareable • Built for clarity, not chaos

This is a design direction engagement, not full planning and not execution.

I help you define the visual logic of your wedding so every decision after this point becomes easier, faster, and more confident.

Every wedding design is created based on The Design Five.

Not steps. Not rules.
Five decisions that determine whether a design holds together or falls apart.

  • Structure Analysis: the space you’re working with
  • Base Layer: the elements that everything sits on
  • Focal Point: what gets attention and what doesn’t
  • Editing: what’s intentionally removed
  • Integration: when everything speaks the same visual language

This is for couples who:

  • Want a cohesive, elevated look
  • Are tired of conflicting opinions
  • Care about how the space feels, not just how it photographs
  • Want to make confident decisions before signing contracts
  • Early in planning (4 – 10 months before your wedding)
  • Feeling overwhelmed by options and opinions
  • Working with a limited or defined budget that you are unsure how to stretch

This one is about design clarity.

Not a mood board for fun. A direction you can execute.

  • Visual Identity Sheet: your anchor statement + design priorities (the lens every decision runs through)
  • Palette & Cohesion Sheet: color roles + cohesion rules so your palette behaves consistently
  • Layout & Placement Logic: how the space should function and feel (guest experience + flow guidance)
  • Design Decision Filter: a yes/no system that keeps choices aligned
  • How to Use Your Design Direction: a client-friendly guide you can share with vendors
  • Priority-Based Next Steps: customized based on your priorities, venue, and budget, so you know what to do next first

Step 1: Intake + Signal

You share your venue, what you’ve saved, your constraints, and what’s causing the spiral so I can find the real disconnect.

Step 2: Direction Call

We lock the anchor, define the priorities, and decide what belongs (and what doesn’t) so your design stops feeling scattered.

Step 3: Receive Your Design Direction

You receive your full deliverables + priority-based next steps so you can move forward confidently and communicate clearly with vendors.

This is a design advisory engagement with deliverables.
It is not ongoing planning. It is not execution.

You will walk away with…

A Visual Identity Sheet: your anchor statement + design priorities (the lens every decision runs through)

Palette & Cohesion Sheet: color roles + cohesion rules so your palette behaves consistently

Layout & Placement Logic: how the space should function and feel (guest experience + flow guidance)

Design Decision Filter: a yes/no system that keeps choices aligned

Priority-Based Next Steps: customized based on your priorities, venue, and budget, so you know what to do next first

What if I don’t know my style?

You don’t need a label. I pull patterns from what you like/hate and translate them into a clear direction for you.

What if I already booked my venue?

Great! The venue gives us structure. We reset your design to work with that space, not against it

Can you work with my budget?

Yes. This will help you prioritize what matters as long as you are realistic about your budget amount and expectations.

Is this full planning or day-of coordination?

No. This is design clarity and decision support. This is not vendor communication, contract review, timeline creation, or event day execution.

What happens after I receive the Design Direction?

After you receive the Design Direction, you use the Design Anchor, palette roles, and decision check to evaluate every new idea quickly, communicate clearly with vendors, and stay cohesive as planning continues.

If you want a wedding that looks intentional, without turning planning into a full-time job, this is your next step.
