Looking for a wedding designer? Today we’re talking with a special guest about all the questions you need to ask a potential wedding designer. 

I’m so excited about this because if any of you follow my wedding planning account @verveeventco, you know I LOVE all things related to wedding design. 

Now, the term “Wedding Design” can mean a lot of things to different people. In today’s episode, we’re referring to the floral, decor, and the overall theme or concept that gives the wedding a cohesive look and feel. 

And today we’re talking with a real expert in wedding design.
