In order to reserve your spot with us, we require a one-time, non-refundable deposit. A percentage of this fee is applied towards your first invoice.
Onboarding
Once your deposit is paid, we set you up in our system and invite you to join our planning software portal.
Months 1-3
(Venue Deposit, as needed) + (Planning Fee + tax/processing)
During this time, we really dive into the when, where, and how of your plans. If we need to find a venue, we spend this time scouting for the right one.

Once your venue details are sound, we can then start securing additional vendors, begin designing the full aesthetic of the event and begin curating the full logistics plan and timeline.

Once we have a finalized design direction, we can begin sourcing all elements for the event. Every item is purchased through KAE and shipped to our warehouse in preparation for the event.
Months 9-12

Once things begin arriving to our warehouse, we can continue to finalize your logistics and setup plans. We then share all of this with each vendor and appropriate party.
Months 12-14
(Floral Order + Final Expenses + tax/processing)
As plans further solidify, we begin in-studio production of your event and continue to finalize all details.
Week of
The week of your event, we lead all activities, including guest arrival, rehearsal walkthrough, welcome party, wedding day, next day, guest send-off + more.
Month After
We continue to close out your event and wrap up all event details up to 30 days after the wedding.

Style + Aesthetic
Your personal taste as a couple is highly important to us. At the same time, we know it can feel like the possibilities are endless and a bit overwhelming. Let us help!
Venue
We always take your actual wedding venue into consideration first. Rather than cover up a bunch of ugly sins, we try to guide you towards a beautiful location from the very start. It's important to match the theme of your wedding to its natural surroundings, which is how we develop your color palette.
Season
Your color palette is designed to match the venue and also the season you will actually be getting married in. We incorporate these elements into your design presentation with thoughtfulness and grace.
Personal Taste
Once you are joyfully obsessed with your color palette, we begin incoporating your personal style and touch.
Brand Finishing Touch
The reason our weddings are so gorgeous is because they consistently include our KAE signature touches- most notably through our floral design and artistic interpretations of traditional elements.

Brick + Mortar Flower Shop
Our gorgeous wedding flowers are produced with an incredible amount of love and support from our in-house floral design team.
KAE | Event Studio & Floral Boutique
is our very first Brick + Mortar flower shop, located in downtown Colorado Springs. We thank the team for loyally following us to the ends of the earth, working out of the back of box trucks, in extreme weather, over mountains and terrains, and wherever our couples may take us!
They truly bring the magic, and it wouldn't be a KAE wedding without them xoxo.
