Becca is so talented, and has a true eye for this industry, and we’re so happy to call her a friend. Read below to get an inside look into Becca Brooks Events & Design!

After working with Taylor, what have you learned about styling through her?

Taylor is incredibly detail-oriented and creative – two skills that I find crucial for a good stylist! She brings such gorgeous styled details to life through her impeccable eye for design. Taylor helped style a recent editorial with us, and it was a wonderful experience. We provided all the various details, such as invitation suites, welcome baskets, family heirlooms and other paper goods, and she worked away seamlessly behind the scenes with our fabulous photographer to build and capture beautiful flatlay designs and photos!

What are your favorite details to focus on during the planning process?

We absolutely love focusing on sentimental design elements, such as family heirlooms. Not only do these details make a wedding day completely unique, but they also make it incredibly special! From details, such as reading from a historic family Bible, to including fresh greenery from a bride’s grandparents’ home within floral arrangements, to tying family charms onto a bride’s bouquet, we find that these elements are the memories that stay with couples forever and truly make their day shine.

As a planner, how do you work with a stylist to create the look and feel for a wedding?

Creating the design inspiration for our couples’ weddings is one of our favorite parts of the planning process, and we love to bring in stylists early on for feedback and input! Once the color palette and overall design of the event are aligned on, we work with stylists to identify and outline key details to style and capture on wedding day. This often includes collaborating with the couples’ photographer on designing and capturing flatlay photos of invitation suites, welcome box items, place cards, menus and sentimental items, such as family jewelry or perfume. These stunning and special photos then allow our couples to remember every single detail from their perfect day!

What are your favorite ways to work with vendors to create the perfect day?

As a part of our Full-Service Planning and Design offering, we work with brides on a design inspiration board rooted in details most important to them. We then translate those details into a gorgeous schematic that overlays color palette and design elements across florals, tablescapes, cake, Bridal Party attire, stationery and so much more. We absolutely love finding unique ways to bring special details to life for our brides, in partnership with other vendors, including stylists! Our vendors so appreciate this board as our go-to source to bring our couples’ big days to life. It’s a great tool to collaborate creatively and effectively, ensuring the perfect wedding day.
