A little throwback to one of the most unforgettable wedding weekends throughout my wedding planning career! 🤍✨

It took 15 months of planning and a team of 60 vendors and staff to bring this multi-day, multi-location celebration to life. Every moment and every detail came together so beautifully, with Robert and Sayeh shining as the stars of the weekend!

I’m still overjoyed thinking about it and so honored to have been trusted by my dear friend to plan this special weekend for her sweet daughter and son-in-law. This one will always have my heart. ✨

One of the most meaningful parts of wedding design is seeing couples weave their culture and heritage into their celebration.

At Kristine Smith Designs, we believe your wedding should tell your story, honoring where you come from while celebrating where you’re going. ✨

We especially love when couples include traditions like how Lynn prior to their special day.

A Chinese Tea ceremony is a a beautiful symbol of respect, gratitude, and family unity. 🍵

During the ceremony, the couple serves tea to their parents and elders, thanking them for their love and guidance while welcoming each other’s families as one.

It’s these intentional, heartfelt moments, really where design meets tradition, that truly bring a wedding to life. Such an incredible occasion I’m so happy I was able to be a part of. ❤️

Planning a proposal is one of the most exciting things you’ll ever do, but it can also feel a little overwhelming. From finding the right words to choosing the perfect setting, there’s a lot to think about. But with a little preparation, you can create a moment that reflects your love story in a way that feels authentic and unforgettable.

Wedding planning can feel stressful at times, but I always remind my couples to slow down and cherish these moments together. 💍

Even the not-so-glamorous parts, like budgeting and talking finances, are part of this once-in-a-lifetime season you’ll never get back.

The big day will be here before you know it.

These past few months have taught me so much about myself. While the world may wonder, and sometimes judge who we’re showing off for, I’ve learned it’s really about embracing our own journey and being true to ourselves.

Being true to myself means spending time with the people I love, showing myself love through travel, prioritizing my mental and physical health, following my passions unapologetically, and creating space for joy in everyday moments, even during the hardest times.

The best is yet to come 🤍

You don’t need a bridal party to have a meaningful, magical wedding day. ✨

It’s completely okay to keep it simple and stray from traditional norms.

At the end of the day, it’s about you and your partner, and what feels right for you both.

I get asked this question often, and my answer is always the same: do what feels most comfortable and authentic to you. 👏

Travel home with me from an epic European adventure which included scoping out some of our expanded destination wedding locations, drinking one too many Bellinis, eating amazing food, and living my best life.
This trip home had a few small hiccups but after 25 hours we finally made it to LAX and today will be driving the remaining few hours home.
I’m so excited to have had this experience with my son and it coincides with my business expanding our operations to add Croatia 🇭🇷 and Greece 🇬🇷 to our list of preferred destinations for wedding planning.

✨ You could have a wedding planner take care of all of it for you. ✨ Just sayin’. 😌

I felt it was a good time to reintroduce myself, especially with how chaotic this season of life has been. I know how important it is to slow down and take time for yourself, so this is me doing that and sharing it with you.

Hi, I’m Kristine and what started as a passion for florals grew into a full-blown love for planning meaningful, beautifully styled weddings, which in turn sparked the creation of KSD.

With my background in education (yes, I’m also a doctor of education!), organization, and clear communication felt very natural to me.

All-in-all I have such a big heart for love, people, and all things that bring beauty, meaning, and connection to life’s most special moments. This wedding community has been such a big support system to me throughout this crazy thing we call life.

I’d love to know a little bit more about you in the comments below. Share whatever you feel, or shoot me a DM 🫶

I will be OOO starting today until July 15th for an upcoming wedding and some much-needed vacation time spent with my son.

During this time, I will have limited access to emails, which may result in delayed response times.

Although I may be biased (for obvious reasons) 🤣, having a wedding planner truly does make a difference.

As a wedding planner, I do so much more behind the scenes than most people realize; coordinating with vendors, managing timelines, solving problems before you even know they exist, and making sure everything runs smoothly so you can be fully present and soak up every second of your day.

Want to learn more about what I do? Shoot me a DM! I’m more than happy to talk to you about the benefits of hiring a planner for your big day!

While I absolutely love working in the wedding industry, I also work full-time in education as Dr. Kristine Shipman! 👩🏻‍🏫✨

Education was my first love, and it’s still a huge part of who I am. Weddings may fill a lot of my weekends, but supporting students and schools fill most of my weekdays.

While I have a lot of love for traditional and classic wedding culture, I also LOVE the idea of straying from the norms.

Who says things have to be done a certain way? If it’s your big day, make sure it’s YOURS! Especially if you’re pouring a lot of time, love, (and money) into it!

You. Need. A. Wedding. Planner.

This video is enough of an explanation as to why! Think set up, tear down. Vendor coordination, emergency kit items in case (heaven forbid) a dress rips or a button goes missing.

Someone to walk beside you pre-ceremony to ensure all things are aligned for your big day. I said it once, and I’ll say it again 1000x over. You need a wedding planner! 😉

Celebrating 4 years in the wedding industry business this June. I can’t believe how many ways this business has changed my life.

It’s introduced me to so many amazing people and given me opportunities I never thought I would have in this lifetime. From traveling the world, to growing both personally and professionally in ways I never imagined, I’m thankful for every step of the way.

As KSD heads into this new year on a new journey, I’m running into this year headstrong. Bring on another year of wedding magic!

Weddings can be overwhelming, but taking care of yourself should always come first.

Whether it’s a quiet moment before the ceremony, saying ‘no’ to extra pressure, or simply taking a break with your favorite drink during the nitty gritty planning phases, remember: you’re your own priority before and on the big day.

Show yourself the same love you show your soon-to-be partner every day, because you deserve it. ✨

To the couples who choose us, or even consider us, for your special day, the KSD team is truly grateful. 💖

If you’ve had a positive experience, we’d be deeply thankful if you could take a moment to leave a review. Your kind words not only help us grow but also guide other couples in finding the service and care they deserve.

You can leave us a review on Zola, Wedding Wire, or The Knot by looking up Kristine Smith Designs. ✨

Soak it all in. The couple will thank you 🤍

Before you start saving inspo pics, ask your florist what blooms will actually be available around your wedding date.

Not only will it help your budget, but your arrangements will look fresh, full, and totally aligned with your season and style.

Save this for your wedding planning checklist! 💐

Here’s another reason to add a sparkler exit to your list of potential wedding send-offs! ✨

They’re fun, festive, and make for the dreamiest photos.

What Our Clients Say

An absolute superstar

Elisabeth

My husband and I cant't believe how amazing Kristine is at wedding planning! She thinks of every single little detail and nothing gets past her. Our caterer that we hired on our own canceled just three weeks (!!!) before our wedding and within a matter of hours Kristine had us a new caterer lined up with the details worked out and everything. She’s also a master at florals as she designed my bridal bouquet and it turned out absolutely STUNNING! I am so grateful I found Kristine to help with my big day. If you are thinking of booking her for your wedding, DO IT!! You will NOT regret your decision!!
