Perfectly Adorned Event Decor

  • Florist
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Merrifield, VA

My mission is to lead my professional team in creating elevated yet unique floral designs that meet or exceed our client's expectations. My love for flowers started at a business workshop, and I am overjoyed to be able to create floral art for every client's event. It warms my heart to experience the pure happiness that our clients feel when walking into our transformed space for the first time. I look forward to our collaboration.

I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest appreciation for Kelly for being our wonderful wedding décor planner. There are so many things that I could say about how talented, thorough, and impressive she is. Even though we had countless email exchanges, Kelly never missed a beat when it came to our wedding! It's impressive how she kept everything together, even the small details. We received so many compliments of the intentionality and detailed planning of the wedding, and I must give Kelly credit for that. One thing she should be proud of is how comfortable she made us feel from our first virtual consultation all the way up to wedding day and the trust we built throughout the planning process. Kelly’s responsiveness and care for detail were greatly appreciated and were evidence of her professionalism. I want to highlight Kelly’s resiliency with finding a non-profit organization for us to donate our flowers to after the wedding. Her tenacity is unmeasurable, and the décor was breathtaking! She nailed my vision, giving me the romantic, elegant, and clean look I dreamed of. I'm sure there are lots of behind-the-scenes things we will never know about, but from our perspective, everything flowed smoothly, allowing us to fully be in the moment. That's a memory that will live with us forever. Kely, thank you for being you and blessing us with your skills! Please extend my many thanks to the amazing team at Perfectly Adorned Event Décor!

There's a feeling you get when someone you love smiles, when they laugh, when they take your hand in theirs. Those feelings are what I seek to capture. I combine the physical beauty of a moment with candid emotions to create heart-warming images that bring you back into the moment all over again.

Audrey was a dream photographer to have at our wedding! In addition to being so personable and having such a wonderful personality, she's an extremely talented artist!! Her photos are absolutely stunning and she really captures the moment. Looking through my photos I feel the excitement of that day! She is so sweet and made everyone feel so comfortable taking photos that the time flew by. I also felt like she was everywhere capturing all our moments -- I don't know how she did it all! We also received a lot of compliments about Audrey and how wonderful she is. Would definitely love getting to work with Audrey again.

Over six years ago, I began working at a charming wedding venue and with brilliant wedding planners which gave me the opportunity to assist hundreds of beautiful couples on their most special day. After spending years of working in marketing and corporate event production, I always found myself drawn back to weddings; the creativity of individualized design, gathering of loved ones, & unforgettable celebrations. All things I yearn to assist my couples with on their wedding day! And one thing to know about me is I will cry…at every. single. wedding.

MacKenzie is extremely attentive and quick to respond to any questions or requests. Her communication is very articulate and inspired, which leads to recommendations of unique components to add to our day that match our couple style while still being elegant. She is extremely efficient and focused to make even the most minuscule detail perfect. You have a dream or idea, she runs with it and tries to make it possible. You’re not just “a bride” she is working with, but rather “THE” bride. MacKenzie puts 110% into every wedding and makes a fairytale reality. I’m so excited for my wedding day, and she made the process as stress free as possible. I’m one of the lucky few brides who get to enjoy their engagement and planning!

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Merrifield, VA

Hi - I'm Danielle. A wife. A mom to three wonderful children. A wedding photographer. I've been shooting weddings since 2010. 300++ weddings and counting. I love working with natural light, real moments, and images with energy and emotion. I would love the privilege of hearing your love story. If you'd like to inquire, please email or call to set up an interview.!

We booked Danielle for our engagement session and April 2024 wedding. Me and my husband aren't confident in front of the camera and at our engagement session, Danielle made us feel so comfortable. At that moment, we knew we made the right choice for our wedding day! Danielle was an integral part of our planning process - happily scheduling calls as needed to help us develop our timeline, narrow down locations for photos, and even providing us with a detailed timeline and checklists of things to bring for photos. On our wedding day, Danielle ensured that we remained on schedule with our timeline, capturing all the photos that we wanted and needed in a short timeframe. She made an effort to learn the names of our wedding party and family and provided everyone with guidance and feedback in a fun and engaging manner to make sure every photo turned out great! We recently got our sneak peeks back and were so thrilled with how they turned out. We're looking forward to seeing our full gallery soon! Danielle also provided a second shooter at no additional cost to us and he was absolutely fantastic as well! Chris handled getting ready photos of my husband and his groomsmen, making sure they stuck to the timeline, and getting them to where they needed to be - the hardest job of all. He was great to work with and captured beautiful images from different perspectives and angles that we wouldn't have gotten with just one photographer.

If I had to describe myself in five words it would be: food, exercise, animals, travel, and art (not in any specific order). You know you have found the right career when you can honestly say you do it for the passion, for the excitement, and for the love of documenting someone’s precious memories. Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have been photographing weddings in the DMV for the past eleven years.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't recommend Cicely and Jason enough. They were communicative, collaborative, and just genuinely great people. They were really open to trying out anything that we really wanted to do and brought plenty of experience and helpful ideas to the table from the start. Their ability to capture the tiny details and a much broader sweeping view of our day really was the sell for us. And they weren't afraid to really get into the middle of a rager and capture moments you'd have never known about otherwise. Photography is so embedded in capturing your day that having creative people you really enjoy working with is critical. Years later, Cicely and I still message each other to check in. I genuinely can't express how great getting to know and work with them was for us. Cheers.

We booked Amanda for Month-Of Coordination and she was an absolute joy to work with! Amanda was polite, professional, prepared, and calm throughout all correspondence and day-of work. Amanda provided invaluable insight on our wedding day timeline and kindly circulated that to our full vendor team. During our venue walkthrough, she brought up so many details I hadn't even thought about, and made expert suggestions on how to address those details. I had a lot of decorative elements that were important to me, and Amanda executed that vision flawlessly. Amanda even has a collection of items available to borrow which came in great handy (easels, candles, cake stands, etc). We experienced some super last minute guest cancellations - I hesitated to text Amanda at midnight on the eve of our wedding, but she replied and addressed those changes expertly. After our wedding, Amanda worked quickly to pack up everything (it was a lot!!!), including items I neglected to make a plan for, like the bouquet and wedding cake - so grateful to Amanda for that!! I highly recommend Amanda as a courteous, organized, and professional wedding coordinator.

Specializing in providing a luxury experience from your initial inquiry to wedding day. We will ensure you not only look and feel your best, we create memories with you that will last a lifetime by prioritizing a seamless and stress-free experience.

Dani is the best Glam squad that anyone could ever hire for your wedding!! I live in Texas and my wedding was in Richmond, VA so unfortunately I was unable to do a hair trial. She listened to everything and continued to reassure me that everything would be perfect. Not only did she completely nail the bridal vision that I was going for, but she went above and beyond the entire day. She stayed after we were done with hair to make sure my hair stayed in place, and she captured so many wonderful photos and memories from first look, to photos with my bridesmaids that I was able to look at the day after the wedding and reminisce. The bridesmaids/ mother of the brides hair also looked amazing, and everyone was so happy with it. You can tell she is very passionate about her job and making brides happy. I would recommend Dani with Posh by la glam over and over again to any bride!

Featured in national publications such as Martha Stewart Weddings, Washingtonian Weddings, Munaluchi Bride, B Collective Magazine, and more.

It's hard to do anything but rave aboutUche and her team - Uche is incredibly creative, a consumate professional, and moreover just an all around awesome human being to work with. From the beginning, she was super responsive and took the time to help me figure out the look for my wedding (I wasn't starting from much - just knew I wanted a "secret garden" type feel). In our first conversation alone I knew she had a vision, and told her to go with it. The execution was so far above and beyond our expectations that words can't describe it. I loved and really appreciated the thoughtful proposal Uche put together (and changed several times at my annoying requests), but I really couldn't have imagined how beautiful everything would be the day of. We got married at District Winery, and Uche and her team took FULL advantage of the blank canvas-esque space, complete with hanging greenery installations and the most beautiful altar piece I've ever seen. My bouquet was also gorgeous - as were my bridesmaids', and the boutonnieres were amazing. I honestly had friends coming up to me telling me they loved the florals even more than what they had at their own weddings! Not only was the end result day-of perfect, but I know that Uche and her team worked tirelessly to get it done. When we had our rehearsal at the venue the afternoon before, they were there getting a head start (what other wedding vendor would do that!?) I could go on forever about how incredible Uche is (like the fact that she hosted my mom and I at her studio for over an hour to patiently talk through details, even as she was prepping for a big wedding the next day), but the bottom line is that if you want top notch creativity and professionalism all in one, you can't go wrong with Designs by Oochay. One final thing - a friend/guest of ours happened to be a former client of Uche's, and Uche made a specific point to find her at the end of the evening to say hello and give her a hug (which my friend was super excited about), even though it was after midnight and she was trying to disassemble everything - which I thought truly showed how warm and gracious she is, as well as how much her former clients love her!

I've really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day. The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you lean your heads together during the toasts. This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It's about celebrating the start of a new family. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day and I hope you'll choose me to be a part of yours!

Brigitte is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Her keen eye and sense of detail, added with her bubbly personality and ability to make you feel like her best friend legitimately is the perfect recipe for the best photographer. She is talented, down-to-earth, and full of so many amazing ideas and qualities that you NEED in your photographer. If you hire her, you will definitely not be disappointed.

The food was delicious (a fact *many* guests were incredulous about), the staff so kind, and Amanda the catering manager an amazing partner. From the initial tasting when we felt like royalty, to the dozen twists and turns to our order to get the price down to the wire, all the way through 11th hour changes to the rentals (changes, I might add, that Amanda had already foreseen!), we were so happy with our choice to go with Emma’s Torch. It was a cherry on top that they are a nonprofit with such a fantastic mission.
