Everything After the Ring

rain behind the beauty, and the reason I was able to enjoy every single moment of my day. I found Ashleigh through my best friend who’s a local wedding photographer, and from our very first phone call, we clicked. She’s genuine and so easy to talk to — I’m honestly going to miss talking to her regularly now that the wedding is over. As a planner, she was an absolute dream. I gave her a budget and shared my vision, and she made it happen. I chose the full-service planning package, and I have zero regrets. She did it all--coordinating vendors, allocating every dollar thoughtfully, and handling all the communication. She didn’t just keep me organized — she kept me sane. There were several moments when she had to talk me off the ledge because my overanalytical, Type A personality was second-guessing decisions. Honestly, she was part planner, part therapist. On the wedding day, she handled every detail flawlessly. I was able to hand over control and be completely present. That alone speaks volumes. I trusted her fully — and I’m so glad I did, because she brought my vision to life in a way that surpassed what I thought was possible. When I saw the reception space for the first time, I literally jumped up and down. Our guests have not stopped talking about how beautiful it all was — and that’s 100% because of Ashleigh. As a florist, she completely nailed the "English garden party" vibe I was dreaming of. Her style is romantic, lush, and whimsical. She created bouquets, aisle meadows, centerpieces, floral accents on the bar, baskets around the seating chart, and the most stunning cross flowers for our ceremony. When I saw my bouquet for the first time, I cried and my bridesmaids gasped. It was absolutely stunning. A retired wedding planner guest pulled me aside during the reception to ask who did the florals because she was so impressed. Another friend literally took a few flowers out of a centerpiece to take home because she loved them so much. My only regret is forgetting to tell Ashleigh to put any and all flowers that could be taken home in my car so I could enjoy them for even longer. I’ve already recommended Ashleigh to some friends who are getting married, and I’ll continue to sing her praises to anyone who will listen. She’s talented, kind, and wildly good at what she does. If you want a planner and florist who will bring beauty, ease, and joy to your wedding day, run to book her. She’s that good.

could have ever imagined! My ceremony and reception florals were stunning. My bouquet was breathtaking - I got so many compliments on the flowers and how they were arranged (especially these cascading orchids). Just the absolute best!

every step guiding us as we made our decisions, and always available for a frantic call from me with a random question! I felt extremely confident both leading up to and on the day that Ashleigh had everything under control, and sure enough, everything ran perfectly and smoothly under her capable planning and management. And have no doubt - Ashleigh and her girls were working so so hard the day of you could tell she truly cared about us and our wedding. We also used Ashleigh for our florals - which was a great combo since she knew my whole vision top to bottom as our planner. I'm not super floral savvy so I really gave her a loose description and let her run with it - and sure enough she took my vague ideas and gave me exactly what I wanted and what complemented our venue and decor perfectly. Bottom line: Use Ashleigh for both your planning and your florals!

my last minute request which was appreciated!

ded every expectation we had. Her impeccable eye for design brought our vision to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Every detail was thoughtful, beautiful, and perfectly executed. Living in the Raleigh area, I was nervous about planning a wedding 4.5 hours away in Charleston, but Ashleigh removed all that anxiety. She made the entire process seamless, handling every detail with care and keeping us completely at ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail were unmatched, and she made us feel like we were her top priority. I genuinely miss our weekly chats because that’s just how great of a person she is—working with her felt like working with a friend who truly had our best interests at heart. On our wedding day, her team was equally amazing, working flawlessly to ensure everything went off without a hitch. I owe her everything for making our dream wedding come to life. We are endlessly grateful for Ashleigh and her team and would recommend Everything After the Ring over and over again to anyone planning their big day. They are truly one of a kind!

f, Ashleigh was professional, on top of every detail and was quick to respond to all of my questions. Ashleigh and her team worked so hard on wedding day to turn my wedding dreams and decor vision to life and it was beyond my Wildest dreams! Not only did Everything After the Ring do the day of coordination, they also were our florist! Every arrangement, and bouquet was exactly what I hoped and dreamed of! The florals were perfect! I highly recommend working with this team and I am very appreciative of all of their hard work!

k to respond to all my questions and had such a great eye for the design, I couldn't have asked for anyone better. The day of the wedding Ashleigh and her team made things go perfectly and really helped calm my nerves - plus they made sure we got to eat food at the reception!! Ashleigh is amazing I highly recommend her to plan your perfect day.

alent for design and coordination. She calmed any nerves or worries I had leading up to the wedding and the week/day of. She responded promptly to any questions I had and provided us with a very detailed timeline. She relieved any and all stress we had the day of. Her team turned our venue space into a beautiful, timeless reception. They listened to what we wanted and helped bring our vision to life. Our flowers were simply stunning and helped elevate our day and photos. I cannot recommend Ashleigh and her team more to anyone in need of a planner or florist!

they needed to be away. Her expertise and structured plan allows you to really enjoy the planning process and your wedding day! Holly helped us the day of and she did the same thing of letting me enjoy it all without distraction. Plus these women are wonderful to be around. You have to spend the money on a planner and I wouldn’t use anyone but Everything After the Ring!

re we had the best day possible. Her communication, attention to detail, and professionalism are top tier. We highly recommend her company to anyone who wants a perfect day.

, passion, and creativity that is Everything After the Ring. I am a high maintenance bride - and to have the calm and supportive planner like Ashleigh by my side was everything. She truly made my vision come to life at Pepper Plantation, and I cannot recommend her enough. Every anxious thought I had about the wedding, she was already 5 steps ahead of me. My wedding day was an absolute dream come true, and I hope that all future brides hire this team so they can experience what my husband and I did. This is team captured our love and expressed it in every detail and every flower - such an incredibly beautiful day. Two years of planning together, and I would do it all again!! Thank you so much!!

in December. Ashleigh created a gorgeous bouquet for our engagement photos as well! After getting engaged, I quickly realized how overwhelming wedding planning can be, but Ashleigh made it seem easy! She is extremely quick to respond to any questions and very knowledgeable about Charleston weddings. The day of, I felt confident that everything was being taken care of and was able to celebrate without any stress! Ashleigh and her team were also able to create the most magical floral arrangements! Ashleigh understood my vision perfectly and created a bridal bouquet for me that was even more beautiful than I had imagined. All of the florals at my wedding completely exceeded my expectations! You will not regret choosing Everything After the Ring!

plan our perfect wedding day and took care of our BEAUTIFUL florals as well. I am so grateful for all the help and care Ashleigh and her team took for our wedding!

ning my wedding day was prooooobably a bit more than necessary, but Ashleigh nailed every. single. thing. I wanted. Handing over control on the day of and trusting it to come out how I was picturing was so hard, but oh my god, it’s like she was in my brain, only BETTER. And don’t even get me started on our flowers!!!! They were absolutely gorgeous and fit in so well with the vibe of the wedding. Ashleigh absolutely nailed it. I don’t think I could’ve imagined a better bouquet if I tried. The entire day exceeded my wildest imagination. I cannot even put into words how grateful I am to have had Ashleigh not just on our wedding day, but every step of the way during our wedding process. She was there for the venue tours, provided recommendations for literally every single vendor we booked (and let me tell you, they were all INCREDIBLE), helped us with our budget, our day of timeline, multiple walkthroughs at the venue… you name it, she did it. If you don’t think you need a wedding planner, let me be the first to tell you that you’re wrong. Our day went FLAWLESSLY thanks to her and her team. Because of the work her and her team put into the day, us and our families were actually able to enjoy and experience the wedding rather than worry about making sure everything was running smoothly. Knowing what I know now, I genuinely would have paid triple what she charged to repeat the experience. But I think the best part of it all… Ashleigh easily saved us all the money she cost us and then some between helping us budget, giving us options when trying to save money, and the discounts we received from the vendors she recommended. Ashleigh Baker is an absolute dream and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. We love you, Ashleigh!!!!

d something come up that we didn't understand with other vendors, she was always very helpful with any question we had. When we had our final walk through in the venue a month before the wedding she was so supportive with everything we wanted to do and made sure she went through every last detail with us. On the day of, she was STELLAR. She checked in with me in the morning to let me know she was here for me and then at the venue she had everything looking more beautiful than I imagined. She made it all go so smoothly and her assistant Alissa was also incredibly helpful the entire time. We love her and everyone getting married should use her. You will not regret it.

from the wedding, our original florist plans fell through, so I took a friend's recommendation and reached out to Ashleigh. After that first interaction, I wish we had gone with Everything After the Ring in the first place! I sent over some photos for inspiration as well as a quick summary of what we wanted, and within 24 hours, Ashleigh sent back a perfectly curated proposal that was exactly what we had envisioned. Communication was top notch and the flowers were stunning - I highly recommend Ashleigh and her team!

g. On the day of our wedding Holly and her assistant were amazing, they handled everything so I could relax and get ready for my wedding. Holly and her assistant went above and beyond. I can’t recommend Everything After the Ring enough!

o helpful. Would highly recommend using Ashleigh and her team for your wedding needs.

r wedding, she kept me on track. She gave so many ideas on small details that I forgot. The day of my wedding was HOT and she worked so hard in the heat to make sure it was decorated beautifully. We had our ceremony outside , and she even moved chairs so we could use the lawn during the reception. I honestly can not thank her enough for her hard work to make sure I enjoyed my wedding and make it flow seamlessly. Again, her and her team are absolutely amazing!!!

ding “date night”. She had food waiting for us so that we didn’t forget to eat and always asked if we needed anything. My family was super impressed with her as well and truly truly exceeded every expectation. She was just ON it and if you are looking to relax on your big day and have everything turn out how you dreamed, choose her!

he rehearsal and day-of. My family even commented how amazing she and her team were. Their choice words were "they were on it" and they said that just from observing. They didn't know everything they did to keep our strict schedule in the background. Again, their organization was superb and set up everything according to my vision. I attribute the success of my wedding day to them! My mom, stepdad and I were talking the day after the wedding about how wedding planners/coordinators are underrated and are something people skip out on... DON'T cut this cost for your wedding!! It is 100% worth it to have, at the very minimum, a wedding coordinator for day-of if you want to be less stressed and enjoy the day, and I highly recommend Ashleigh!!

(it rained during our planned outdoor rehearsal and wedding) she helped us all stay calm and worked quickly to adjust. I would recommend her services to anyone. She also checked on both my husband and I throughout the reception, brought us drinks, helped me avoid being seen before the ceremony, etc. I didn't have to contact the vendors before the wedding and whenever she had questions she made sure to clarify right away. Thank you Ashleigh and team!

r praises enough! Ashleigh was so helpful throughout the planning process as I tried to plan our Folly Beach/Charleston wedding from Kansas City. She was very responsive to all of my questions and requests in the months leading up to the wedding. While our ceremony and reception were rather low key, Ashleigh was so incredibly helpful on the big day, from corralling everyone for the ceremony and for pictures, helping me climb several flights of stairs in my poofy wedding dress to our ceremony site, to making sure we were on schedule, and that all of the little details that we had discussed were perfectly executed. She set up our reception room and beautifully brought my vision to life! My mom even said that she started crying when she walked into our reception because it looked that gorgeous! Our reception ran over what I had originally told Ashleigh, but she stayed until the bitter end to breakdown our reception decor and box it all up for us to retrieve the next day. Thinking back, I cannot imagine our wedding day without Ashleigh being a part of it!
