Maverick Chic Events

Happy leap year, day. 💜

I’ll admit, I’m not exactly a DIY enthusiast (per se!). So, I’m not your usual planner pushing for a heavy DIY wedding. 🔨🪚🩹🪡
Having incorporated some DIY elements at my own wedding, I understand the toll it can take on you, both mentally and emotionally. When couples inquire about DIY items, I make sure to lay out ALL aspects of the DIY journey. 😅
BUT‼️
When you share the significance of your DIY items, how much they mean to you, and their importance, consider me on board. Passionate expressions like that can quickly change my mind. 😏
Also, when you approach me for your design and say, ‘No flowers, but we need your help,’ 😳 I spring into action.
As you can see, there are dried flowers (her mom insisted!) and an abundance of candles! However, the real treasures are the paper cranes, hand-stitched table numbers, and centerpieces – all crafted as acts of love, showcasing who the couple truly is. 😍
I’m not saying this to discourage anyone from living their best HGTV, Martha Stewart life. In fact, I’m here to figure out how to make it cohesive and meaningful without it resembling a DIY jumble. 💜

Let’s talk about how important golden hour is…
That’s it. The photo of Cassidy. Enough said.

Searching for the perfect wedding venue? 🌿💕
Finding the right place is all about that instant connection – when you just know it’s the perfect backdrop for your big day. It’s about that spot that not only takes your breath away but also feels like a part of your love story. 😍
When you visit a potential venue, listen to that inner voice. Look for that glow in each other’s eyes, the kind that says, ‘This is where we begin our forever.’🥰
Here at Maverick Chic, we understand the importance of that feeling. We’re here to guide you to that special place – where everything feels right, and every view whispers ‘this is the one.’💜

Ah, Mondays – they sure know how to make an entrance, don’t they? 🌧️
Today, it’s raining, a lot! To top it off, Instagram is on strike and refuses to post my latest reel. And let’s not forget, we’re just a week away from Christmas. ‘Stressed’ might just be the word of the day. 😅
So, what’s my Monday fix? Sharing a photo of some gorgeous shoes (because why not?), cuddling with my fur babies, sipping on my decaf (pretending it’s full-caf)☕️, baking cookies🍪, and diving into my project🧶. Sometimes, you just need to hit pause. 😅
Feeling overwhelmed or like things are spiraling? Maybe it’s just that your ideas are getting overlooked, dismissed, or the opinions you didn’t ask for are… well annoying! It’s okay to take a step back. Indulge in what makes you feel good, reset, and then tackle the world with a fresh perspective. 💜
P.S.: Since the reel didn’t work out, enjoy this photo instead. Trust me, it’s a good one. 😉

Welcome to Maverick Chic Events, where we celebrate couples that embody the vibrant chic lifestyle! 🎉
I know many of you were thinking, “we were wondering when you would rebrand.” Well, guess what? It’s here! 💜
While baby planner Cat loved how Southern Bell Weddings and Events helped her grow, she is stepping into a more Maverick Era. 😎
Speaking of this era and what it means, let me first throw out the definitions of a Maverick. 📖
Maverick: a person who thinks and acts in an independent way, often behaving differently from the expected or usual way. 😏
I love my couples, and I love those who dare to be different and unorthodox, but in a sea of classically stunning white, blush, and soft green weddings, it’s hard to find your voice sometimes. We want to serve those who are Innovative, Vibrant, and Bold. Those who dare to look beyond the box and throw a celebration that is immersive and intentional. 🪩
So welcome, EVERYONE! I cannot wait to be Maverick Chic with you. ✨

We’re all about celebrating the unique and unconventional! 💖 We dive headfirst into creativity, authenticity, and sprinkle a little magic 🪄 on everything we touch.
Our mission? 🚀 To craft not just weddings, but unforgettable love celebrations! We’re here to make sure every couple feels like the stars of the show – valued, understood, and absolutely thrilled on their special day. ✨

Happy Small Business Saturday! 🎉
I’m not saying you should ditch the big stores, but hey, why not spice things up a bit? Check out those small businesses - they’re like hidden gems, crafting unique and meaningful goodies. ♥️
Now, to those fancy boutiques (or wedding professionals!) that you love, but don’t need anything from, here’s a sly move – follow them on Instagram and spill the tea on their sales in your story! 🎥 You never know which one of your followers might just go on a shopping spree.
So, enjoy your Saturday and spread some love and support where it’s needed today. ✨

While everyone is shopping today, don’t forget to shop for your wedding planner. 💜
Please don’t underestimate finding the right planner for you! That is the person you spend more time than you realize with.
With that being said…
If you are the adventurous, the dreamer, the lovers of life. Imagine a couple that dances to the beat of their own drum, weaving modern elegance with a splash of the extraordinary. 🥂
If you are rooted in family, bonded by love, and always up for an adventure. From the bustling streets of Boston to the serene sights of New England, your love knows no bounds. 🌍
You cherish deep connections, value authenticity, and your wedding? It’s not just an event; it’s a heartfelt celebration of your unique journey. With a passion for the unorthodox, you want to turn your special day into an unforgettable experience. ✨

I could not be more grateful this year. 🙏🏽
This year felt more intense and crazy, but also the most reassuring and at peace. 🥰
I cannot thank all of the couples I have had the pleasure of working with this year, enough! 💜
Sending you all of the love today and everyday. Happy Thanksgiving! ✨

Revival
re·viv·al
An act of bringing someone or something back to life ✨
12.1.23. Double tap if you are curious, excited, intrigued, or just simply thinking, Hell Yeah! 💜

Something we understand as a wedding planner, is emotions. 🎭
This is the week of Thanksgiving, and just like your wedding, emotions will run high. 😅
Maybe seeing friends and family brings anxiety and stress, maybe it brings the best warmth and chill, hell maybe it just brings the party because it’s wild and wonderful!🥂
Either way enjoy it the best way you know how, because at the end of the day, you made it. ✨

It’s all in the details. ✨

Just a thought, embrace the red. ♥️

Grab your crew, and let’s freaking party! 🎉
Whether you have a crew of 2 or 10, make sure you embrace these raw moments and enjoy every second. ✨

Ever wondered why we’re all about that ‘details box’? Well, let’s spill the tea! ⬇️
1️⃣. Think of it as your wedding day prep kit – everything you need for a seamless, stress-free preparation for your big day. From your signature scent to heartfelt vows, breathtaking rings, stunning shoes, elegant invites, and your favorite jewelry pieces. 💍
2️⃣. Here’s the kicker – it’s the photographer’s best friend. With everything ready, they can swoop in and snap those killer shots. No fuss, no chaos – just beautiful memories! 📸
3️⃣. And here’s the real gem – those pics? They’re like pages from your story, a snapshot of you. Every little detail, your style, your personality – it’s all in there.💖
So, when you think ‘details box,’ envision making your day effortlessly ‘you,’ ensuring it’s as uniquely ‘you’ as it gets. ✨

I’m still obsessed with this picture from Esther’s wedding. 😍
Nothing makes my heart happier than seeing women helping other women. 💖
Speaking of… your girl is headed to Lake Norman for another WorkCation! 🎉 It is where wedding planners from all over the US come together in a house and spend intentional time together, and intentional CEO time! 😊
I made some pretty amazing business upgrades in February the last time I did this, as well as incredible friends. Let’s see what this trip has to offer. ✨
📸:

I’m elated to start this weekend for Heidi and Grant! 😍
It also couldn’t be a more lovely time to come to Asheville. 🍁

I will never not be obsessed with this image or a final solo dance. ✨
Your wedding day is a whirlwind, but the final solo dance is your chance to slow down, be in the moment, and create a memory that will last a lifetime. 💍✨

It is officially fall. 😍
This is our first New England Fall and I could not be more stoked! Bring on the cozy clothes and weather with temperatures under 80! 🍂

Y’all! 😅
My brain for the past week has been all over the place. 🌎
Work-life is lovely, and my ducks are in the most excellent and neatest rows 🦆 but my personal life seems to be a little more chaotic with squirrels all chasing each other 🐿️
So, instead, I’m just going to sit still. Focus on my beautiful couples. Things in the works for Southern Bell Weddings 😏, and live in this image of Kirby. 😉 Because if you only knew how much she loved the lavender toss, you would do the same. ✨
📸:

This is 30… something 😏 Come on, y’all, a lady never tells her age.
I appreciate your patience as I recovered from an incredible wedding weekend💜, and whatever the driving equivalent of jet lag is😅, and now I have a day to celebrate that I made it another 365 🎉!
So cheers to all of you who love and support me and allow me to get to know you and help plan your wonderful wedding. I would be a much lesser person without each one of you. ✨

So this isn’t the most perfectly curated photo, and that stresses me out as a professional who gets paid to help throw fabulously curated events. 😅
BUT‼️
I am also a professional who is in charge of making sure the days leading up to “the big day” are orderly and organized. I get to see the behind-the-scenes and get to know my couples. I see some of their stressful, confused, and emotional moments. 🥹
So today, I am sharing this perfectly, in real life, candid moment photo of my couple who, in just a few hours, will be eating, drinking, and celebrating their magical night away thanks to a curated timeline and planning process. 😉
Anna + Sean, I adore you both and cannot wait to see your day unfold. You guys are just as stunning and breathtaking as this view. ✨

Let’s talk about the unsung detail at your wedding that gives more of a wow factor than people realize…🤨
Dude, your napkins! Yeah, we use them to wipe our mouths from the delicious food that we eat, but this detail is one of the most prominent players! 😳
You can manipulate this already paid-for detail to transform the look of your reception. 🍽️
Sure, you can go with the ever-so-classic waterfall fold (you know, the one where it lays under your plate and hangs off of your table), and that adds a nice pop of color. OR! You can layer it to give your place settings depth. You can knot it and add texture and edge. You can use it to spruce up your place seating cards, or you can fold it in a way to represent you (yes, we have done a rose for a Disney vibe).🌹
Don’t snooze on this detail because it isn’t just the fold, but it is an incredibly powerful tool that can also add texture, color, and depth to any reception. ✨
I know, most people think, “Who gives a s**t about this!?” ME! I do! Ask any planner what their favorite napkin fold is, and you wait to hear the spell that follows. 😅
If this napkin rant overwhelms you, reach out because this is one of my most favorite things. 💜

Mondays… I mean, need I say more!? 😒
🎉OF COURSE, I SHOULD! 🎉
Mondays usually are days that people dread, you know because ew Monday. Well, oddly enough, I love Mondays! ☺️
To me, it isn’t a “typical” Monday. It is a day for me to “rest,” or Mastermind Monday. I take these days and organize what I need to do as a CEO/Owner of my company. I make my list, take my time, focus on what needs to be edited and do all the things I tend to put on the back burner because my couples take priority. 💜
I’ve learned through industry pros and my coaches that I wouldn’t have couples to live on if I didn’t have a business. *yeah, I know, I hear it*😅
So as I’m into Mastermind Monday, I hope you are also having the best day! ✨

Today is a travel day! 😍 One of my favorite things about owning my own business is the ability to travel! 🛫
I frequently get asked if I have worked at a specific venue, sometimes lots, and sometimes not yet. 😉
But the best thing about the “not yet” venues means I get to meet new people and go to new places. Which makes me a pretty incredible destination wedding planner. 🗺️🏖️🏔️🏙️🛤️
So if you are looking for a pretty chill destination wedding planner who lives in Boston, but is from the South, look no further. ✨​​​​​​​​
