THE STORY BEHIND
Kindred Aisle Collective
You thought getting engaged would be the exciting part... Turns out, wedding planning had other plans.
Somewhere between the vendor emails, the family group chats, the spreadsheets you swore you'd stay on top of, and the opinions nobody asked for ... it stopped feeling exciting.
And you've been quietly powering through ever since.
Maybe you're overwhelmed and don't know where to start.
Maybe you're not overwhelmed at all, you're just busy, and wedding planning has somehow taken over your entire life without you giving it permission.
Maybe you don't even know what kind of support would actually help, so you keep figuring it out alone.
Whatever brought you here ... I see you.
And I built this for YOU!
Hi, I'm Teri
Wedding planner, certified floral designer, recovering corporate spreadsheet princess, and the person your nervous system has been waiting for.
I spent years working across multiple industries including hospo, retail, tech support, finance and the corporate world developing one very specific skill: reading people.
I've worked alongside every personality type you can imagine, and I learned early how to understand what someone actually needs versus what they think they need, and how to ask the question that gets them there.
I brought every bit of that into this business.
I help brides design wedding days they can genuinely OBSESS over.
Not a wedding that looks good on paper.
Not a day built around everyone else's expectations.
A day that actually feels like YOU.
Why this business exists
I became obsessed with understanding why wedding planning feels so overwhelming for smart, capable women,
and then I built a business around solving that problem.
My entire business exists because I got tired of watching brides spend more time managing everyone else's expectations than actually enjoying their engagement.
I've spent countless hours helping brides work through decisions big and small, and here's what I've learned:
Most brides already know what feels right.
They just need someone to help them trust themselves again.
That's not a small thing ... it's the entire foundation this business was built on.
How I actually work
I don't just listen and nod and hand you a checklist.
I listen.
Then I flip it back.
I ask you the question you didn't know you needed to answer. The one that uncovers what's actually going on underneath the thing you think is the problem.
Then we figure out the tangible next step together, so you can move forward with clarity instead of just more noise in your head.
Vendor drama?
Guest list guilt?
Tricky conversations with emotionally reactive family members?
A partner who sees things completely differently?
Come at me with any of it and you will get zero judgment and a very real response because you have the rest of your life to be a people pleaser, but you only get this one day to celebrate your love story, surrounded by the people who will actually help elevate it.
I've navigated every kind of personality, every kind of family dynamic, and every kind of planning crisis you can think of.
Nothing you bring me is too much.
The bit that's about you
Whether you're in full planning meltdown or just done with wedding planning taking over every part of your life ...
you don't have to keep doing this alone.
You already know what you want.
You already know what feels right.
Sometimes you just need someone in your corner who can help you cut through the noise, trust your gut, and make decisions that actually reflect you and your partner ...
not everyone else's idea of what your wedding should look like.
That's the role I step into.
A PARTNER IN PLANNING
Every time.
Ready to stop surviving the planning and start genuinely obsessing over your wedding day?
Designing a day you can OBSESS over
I've always been the person who shows up fully when something matters. Give me a problem to untangle, a plan to build, or a situation that needs someone to just figure it out, and I'm already three steps ahead.
For a long time, that energy lived in the corporate world.
Spreadsheets, strategy, managing people, navigating complexity. I was good at it but I was also slowly burning out in a way that only makes sense in hindsight.
And when I planned my own wedding, something clicked.
Not because I fell in love with table settings or bridal trends.
Because I discovered that the part I loved most wasn't the aesthetics.
It was the people.
Helping someone move through a decision they'd been stuck on.
Watching the fog lift when something finally made sense.
Being the calm in the middle of someone else's chaos.
I became invested in figuring out why smart women suddenly start second-guessing every decision once they get engaged, and then I built an entire business around helping those same women find their confidence again.
Turns out, over a decade of reading people, solving problems under pressure, and navigating every personality type imaginable was just really good training for this.
Planning and coordinating weddings sits right at the intersection of everything I naturally do well. And when it all comes together ... when a bride stops second-guessing and starts trusting her vision again ...
The result is a wedding day that actually feels like her.
That never gets old.
