Today’s vendor crush belongs to the fabulous Regalo Design! They are one of our new event planners and decorators here at Wedding 101. So, the proper introduction would be me crushing on them and their amazing work. After you read this blog, you will be crushing on them too. 

The story behind Regalo Design:
The journey began in December of 2004 when Damon and Sarah Goude of Regalo Design crossed paths for the first time in Nashville, TN. Less than 2 years later, they had their perfect day. Sarah planned the big day and after that experience, she caught the wedding planning and flower bug. At that time, Damon and Sarah were  both in corporate events and Sarah was asked by friends and family to help with their weddings. In 2006, they were busy setting up a wedding and someone who they didn’t know came into the venue and asked…”How can I get this for my wedding?” That was the start of Regalo Design.

Regalo Design was started on a leap of faith, lots of prayer, hard work and dedication to providing a service that would leave an impact on the wedding and event industry.  Their philosophy is simple…It isn’t about us, it’s about the client’s needs. Damon and Sarah had their big day and it was perfect. Now, they get the honor of giving others the “gift” (Regalo in Italian) of a perfect day.

Regalo Design offers  full service planning, month-of-coordinating and day-of-coordinating. They also specialize in floral & décor design and implementation. Regalo Design specializes in listening to the client’s needs and creating an event that is uniquely their own.

Why do they do what they do? Regalo Design is a family owned and operated business and they are committed to providing a relationship based customer service experience. Damon and Sarah love people and being a part of an amazing day in their clients lives. It is a family and they have their clients best interest in mind in every vendor suggestion, flower suggestion and all of the event details. They are the client’s advocate.

Let Sarah, Damon, and the Regalo Design team take away your wedding planning stresses and help bring your decor ideas to life! Be sure to check out their website and their Facebook for updates and photos from their latest events.

Oh goodie! Another Friday is here. We’re having a refreshing trip in Asheville, NC. Hubby and I came up for an early 5 year Anniversary trip and we’re having a great time. Way too much good food, beautiful leaves, and the Biltmore. For those of you who haven’t made the trip to Biltmore, it’s totally worth the drive. Sure the house is pretty and the history is fun to learn, but my favorite part is the gardens and grounds. There’s just so much to explore and photograph. Enough about me, on with the DIY!
