“If you want to totally turn your brain off and actually enjoy your wedding day instead of stressing over timelines, you need to hire Ayla Bellamy with Bell Bridal Co. Ayla is clearly answering a true calling because she pours so much thought, heart, and majorly flawless dedication into her work. From our very first consultation to the masterpiece that was our final planning binder (seriously, so much detail, incredibly organized), she made our 200-guest wedding at Unicoi State Park & Lodge absolute perfection. Hiring her was the best decision.
Flawless Day-Of Coordination & A Major Weather Pivot:
Ayla provided a custom full-service wedding planning package that kept our entire four-day weekend perfectly on track. She coordinated all our pre-wedding events—like the ceremony rehearsal at Smith Creek Field, a cozy campfire event at the Fireside Lounge, and a family game night—with total poise.
On the actual wedding day, when rain tried to crash our style, Ayla proved she is the ultimate wedding planner, able to handle North Georgia’s changing weather. Without missing a single beat, she pivoted to a completely new indoor plan and restructured a massive 18-table furniture seating chart to accommodate our large guest count flawlessly. She took all the stress right off our shoulders.
She and her fabulous day-of coordination team kept the hair and makeup schedule (which started at 8:30 AM for the bridesmaids) and photography timelines perfectly synchronized. Her team handled every single logistical detail: they delivered food we ordered from a local grocery store, picked up our cake, and perfectly arranged our cake toppers. Plus, they wore walkie-talkies to direct the parents, the wedding party, and us (the bride and groom) across the park from the Kissing Bridge to the main lodge. My fiancé even had a horse he was planning to ride on the field of our outdoor ceremony, and even though it was raining, she found a way to have him ride it outside the building so our guests could be dry inside but still see him from the window. The whole day was like a choreographed parade.
Stunning Custom Wedding Floral Design:
On top of her elite event design and coordination skills, Ayla is a profoundly talented wedding florist. She completely understood the assignment, bringing our pastel mood board to life with the most breathtaking bridal bouquets, delicate boutonnieres, gorgeous floral arches, and tree-cookie centerpiece table settings. Walking into that reception space and seeing her custom floral arrangements was a total moment—absolutely jaw-dropping!
Masterful Vendor Management & Absolute Trust:
Ayla built incredible, professional relationships with our wedding vendors, confidently taking the reins to run all vendor communications as the big day approached. She is someone you can trust implicitly. We felt completely secure having her handle distribution of cash tips to the vendors at the end of the night.
Thoughtful Details & Amazing Energy:
What truly sets Ayla apart are the small, intentional details. She thoughtfully arranged to have a piece of our wedding cake sent up to our hotel suite so we could actually sit down and enjoy it at the end of the night. Her energy is so infectious, warm, and fabulous that everyone at our wedding loved meeting her.
Because of Bell Bridal Co., we got to completely unplug, turn our brains off, and have the best night of our lives. We cannot recommend her enough for wedding planning and coordination!”
