Real Brides Using Templates: How They Planned a Dream Wedding Without a Full-Time Planner
Think you need to spend $10,000+ on a wedding planner to have a beautiful, cohesive, editorial-style wedding? Think again.
At Mood & Marry, we’ve seen real brides use our templates to create stunning events—without the stress, cost, or chaos of traditional planning. Here’s how they did it, and how you can too.
Meet Lauren: The Bride Who Started It All
Lauren planned her destination wedding in the French countryside using what would become our Chateau Chic template. With a background in art direction but zero time for planning, she built her wedding vision using a single moodboard and vendor brief.
Her vendors said it was the most organized and stylish visual guide they’d ever received.
Her results:
Cohesive color palette and tone from ceremony to reception
A floral team that understood her exact style from the brief
A stress-free day that felt editorial, elegant, and very her
