“ From the moment we hired Lauren and her team as our day of coordinator, I felt taken care of. She was always encouraging and positive and affirming that whatever went sideways can be put upright again. ”

“ No matter the details of your event, you NEED Lauren and her team. Working with them was the single best decision we made through the wedding planning process, and I would recommend them to anyone looking to eliminate as much stress as possible in the lead up to, and on, their big day. ”

    Aimee - Coordinating Assistant

    As someone who has always been captivated by the magic of weddings and the notion of true love, I'm thrilled to be part of making "happily ever after" a reality for others. My experience in wedding coordinating might be budding, but my role with Blushed Beginnings has offered invaluable hands-on learning. In just a year, I've gained so much wisdom and joy from helping couples create unforgettable moments.

    Favourite Wedding Memory:

    One of my most treasured wedding experiences was from last summer. Our original plan for the couple's photo car hit a snag. At the last minute, we managed to find a replacement, and seeing the gratitude on the client's face made all the effort worthwhile. It was so fulfilling to keep the atmosphere stress-free and ensure her dream photos came to life, even when she had many other things to worry about.

    Interests and Hobbies:

    When I’m not crafting dreams for weddings, you'll find me soaking up the great outdoors—whether hiking, walking, or simply relaxing on my deck. I’m an enthusiast of rock climbing, working out, and long-distance running. And when I do retreat indoors, it’s usually with a captivating book in hand, offering a cozy escape until the next adventure.

    Kaylee - Coordinating Assistant

    Hello! I’m Kaylee, one of the friendly assistants here at Blushed Beginnings. I have a deep passion for hiking and being outdoors, where I can truly appreciate the breathtaking beauty that nature has to offer. Exploring new trails and soaking in the scenery is one of my greatest joys. The ocean holds a special place in my heart as well; there's nothing quite like swimming in the refreshing waves and feeling the gentle sea breeze.

    Life keeps me on my toes, as I balance two other jobs alongside my role here. When I’m not working, you can often find me at the gym, weightlifting and staying active. I believe in the importance of fitness and making time for self-care. I also cherish my time with friends, whether we’re having fun at local events or simply hanging out to relax and catch up.

    Charmaine - Coordinating Assistant

    My name is Charmaine, and I am an event assistant at Blushed Beginnings. I have been assisting with weddings and events for six years, and my first outdoor wedding stands out as a memorable experience. While I am not particularly fond of the outdoors, the horseflies presented a challenge! My area of expertise is banquet operations and traditional Southern African weddings. I also greatly enjoy event design; I find the process of bringing everything together to be especially rewarding. I am a very hands-on person when it comes to wedding coordination, paying particular attention to details that are often overlooked, such as ensuring the flatware is straight, the water glasses are aligned, and the chairs are properly positioned. Outside of weddings and events, I enjoy dancing, reading, and crocheting. My inspiration for working in this industry comes from seeing happy couples and their families enjoy their day stress-free because they have a team to support them with their wedding preparations; being a part of that joy, even in a small way, is incredibly rewarding.
