Pure Luxe Bride

Fantastic experience: Many thanks from this MOTB to Francesca and Ady of PureLuxe Bride for creating an experience of a lifetime-a destination wedding in Charleston. Being from a very small town, we are not privy to planners, vendors, venues, etc and must always be self-sufficient. So, truly this was a first time for me and for all of “our people” to 100% relax and enjoy every moment! (No one even had to stick around and lock up!!) They made it all happen, guiding every step, while keeping my daughter’s vision their top priority!

Fantastic experience: We were so lucky to have PLB plan our October 2025 wedding. Francesca and Ady are not only amazing at what they do, but they’re also genuinely wonderful people to work with. Personality was really important to me when choosing a planner (wedding planning should feel fun and special!) and they truly made the entire process exactly that. The PLB team is unbelievably organized. They’re incredibly quick to respond, always on top of deadlines, and great about getting vendor options in front of you with plenty of time to make thoughtful decisions. My (now) husband and I both had very busy work schedules during planning, and PLB was amazing at keeping us on track — and gently following up when we, the bride and groom, inevitably dropped the ball (which happened often, lol). I honestly can’t imagine planning our wedding without them. We would have been completely lost, and our wedding wouldn’t have been what it turned out to be. PLB is also fantastic with budget management. On day one, they asked about our vision and priorities and sent us a detailed budget estimate within 24 hours. Their budget plan made decision-making so much easier and really helped us stay on track throughout the process. The design process with PLB was one of my favorite parts. I sent over inspiration photos for the ceremony and reception, and they came back with a full presentation of options that fit our vision perfectly. They have such a thoughtful eye for personal details. During a menu tasting with our caterer, I casually mentioned how much I loved the plates the food was served on. The very next day, Francesca had pulled similar plates as an option for our reception — and they ended up being one of my favorite table details. It was a small detail, but it's those small touches that make brides feel seen and heard. Overall, PLB has an incredible eye for design, is extremely organized and punctual, and is just so much fun to work with. They also partner with top-tier vendors, so everyone involved was equally as wonderful. We can’t thank them enough for making our wedding day so special.

Fantastic experience: Where do I even begin with what Francesca, Ady, and the PLB team designed and brought to life for our wedding? From the initial interview meeting, to the execution of the wedding, and even beyond, Francesca, Blake, and Ady proved over and over again that we made the absolute right choice to hire them! When Blake stepped away, Ady came right in, and didn’t even skip a beat with everything that was already in progress. Every email and question was answered promptly, or in many cases already handled and just confirming that they had already taken care of something for us! They were so on top of everything, thinking of every detail, remembering what I had mentioned months ago of something I wanted, offering expert opinions when we weren’t sure of what to do or how something would look or work, recommending and hiring the absolute best vendors for our wants and needs. The whole process, from the initial hiring, leading all the way up to the day the wedding, we had nothing to worry about, they were on top of everything every step of the way. The weather for our early December weekend was looking a little iffy at first and then turned officially to rain, but they already had their contingency ready to go, and the rain didn’t even bother us at all, and I’d even say only added to the magic of the weekend. Every meeting we had with them was such a joy and pleasure, not only are they professionals in their line of work, but they do so with so much fun, passion, creativity, and calm. At no point did I feel stressed or worried that this wouldn’t be a most perfect day, and even if there were hiccups, I never knew because they handled it. I truly wish there were enough words to express how truly grateful I am to the PLB team for making such a perfect, whimsical, floral, magical, Christmas, fairytale, dream wedding come true! They are a dream team for making beautiful wedding day dreams come true!

Fantastic experience: PLB made our wedding day so beautiful and seamless. Their organization, creativity, and communication made the whole process enjoyable, and the day was absolutely perfect. We’re so grateful for their hard work and care — it truly meant the world to us!

Fantastic experience: Francesca, Blake, and Ady at PLB went above and beyond to plan and execute the wedding of our dreams. Not only do they plan and deliver, they know the best of the best when it comes to the vendors they choose to work with from the wedding industry (we had the most amazing photographer, videographer, and florist)! They are truly experts in their field and helped to create the most special rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception that allowed us, our families, and friends to create lasting memories of our wedding weekend that we will truly never forget. All 3 ladies maintained a positive, calming, and fun presence leading up to the big day and handled anything and everything that came their way on the big day flawlessly without alerting me to any potential issues (although I truly don't think there were any!). In the 10 months leading up to our wedding date, the PLB team traveled from Charleston, SC to Beaufort, NC multiple times to meet the groom and I and map out the logistical pieces of the wedding planning to ensure the big day went smoothly. Additionally, every time we met the team to plan or meet vendors, we always had a blast! Francesca, Blake, and Ady - thank you SO much for designing and delivering the most perfect wedding weekend! Sad it's over but if I were to do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing!

Fantastic experience: Being father of the Bride I couldn't of been more pleased with the outcome of my daughters wedding that was put in the hands of Pure Luxe Bride everything was handled and communicated from the beginning with absolute professionalism which the planning and budget was started two years ago from the time of the wedding they are top notch in my book and would give them more then five stars if were available they made my daughters dream wedding come true!!

Fantastic experience: Five stars isn’t enough! Blake and Francesca were incredible from start to finish. Planning a destination wedding in Charleston could’ve felt overwhelming, but thanks to them, it was a dream. Their organization, creativity, and calming presence made the entire process feel effortless. They anticipated every need, handled every detail with care, and made sure my husband and I felt confident and at peace every step of the way. By the end of it all, they felt more like friends than planners. I truly can’t imagine having done this without them. If you're looking for planners who are not only talented but genuinely kind, warm, and fun—Blake and Francesca are your team!

Fantastic experience: We want to give our heartfelt thanks to Francesca and Blake for making our wedding the most beautiful day of our lives! We know an incredible amount of hard work went on behind the scenes to make everything so seamless, but from our perspective, they made it feel completely effortless. From our very first meeting, we trusted them completely—so much so that we booked our venue sight unseen because we knew they wouldn’t steer us wrong. They truly took the time to understand us as a couple and brought our vision to life in a way that felt so authentic and personal. Francesca and Blake are the perfect blend of communicative, creative, professional, and knowledgeable. Every question we had was answered promptly, and whenever we felt uncertain, they gently guided us in the right direction. Every vendor we worked with had only the highest praise for them—it’s clear they are incredibly respected and trusted throughout the industry. We truly could not have asked for a more perfect day, and it simply wouldn’t have been possible without them. We’re still in awe of how beautiful everything was and how much love and joy we felt throughout the entire weekend. It’s a day we will cherish forever—and if we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a single thing.

Fantastic experience: Francesca & Blake are absolute rockstars—so organized, professional and just all-around AMAZING to work with. I was blown away by their expertise and talent during every step of the wedding planning process and they made the experience so easy, and SO fun. From the very beginning, they kept us on track with planning, helping us book the best vendors, refine our vision, and make decisions without feeling overwhelmed. They were incredibly responsive and always made us feel like a priority. I loved when they gave their honest opinion when I asked questions, it made me feel so supported and that was really important to me. My favorite part of the process was visiting the PLB office for our design meeting. We got to pick out every single detail like linens, chairs, lighting, colors and the ideas they brought to the table were absolutely unreal. When our wedding weekend finally arrived, we didn't have to lift a finger. Francesca & Blake were everywhere, making sure every moment of every event was executed to perfection. They handled everything behind the scenes and still found the time to show us so much love and support. It honestly couldn’t have gone more smoothly. We are SO grateful for Pure Luxe Bride I would plan a wedding all over again just to have another chance to work with these two incredible women.

Fantastic experience: There are not enough words to express our gratitude for how impeccably executed, insanely magical, and picture perfect our wedding day was, all thanks to Francesca & Blake at Pure Luxe Bride. We can't stop reliving every moment, both in our heads and with family and friends. The instant that we walked into the reception tent during the sneak peek, the vision that we all worked on for two years became an instant reality, and not a single detail was missed. It was pure gold. We truly appreciate all of the hard work they put into our wedding - they are incredible at their jobs. The top-tier vendor recommendations, the flawlessly timed schedule, and the little moments that they made for us created a wedding we will love reminiscing about for the rest of our lives. We are so fortunate that we found Francesca and Blake!

Fantastic experience: Francesca, Blake, and the whole Pure Luxe Bride team were the best wedding planning team that we could have asked for! They not only understood our vision and executed it flawlessly, but were also super organized, always quick to respond to any questions that we had, and made the whole wedding planning experience stress free. Francesca and Blake went above and beyond to anticipate and solve issues before they arose. We are so appreciative of PLB for making our wedding the best weekend of our lives and would recommend their services to anyone planning an event - whether in the Charleston area or not!

Fantastic experience: Francesca was an absolute dream to work with as our wedding planner! Every detail was perfectly executed, and the entire day was flawless from start to finish. She has an incredible eye for beauty and design—everything I had asked for she delivered. Her organization and attention to detail made the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. She truly went above and beyond to make our vision come to life, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Francesca to anyone looking for a wedding planner who will make your day unforgettable!

Fantastic experience: FIVE STARS is not enough! Francesca and Blake of Pure Luxe Bride were top notch in all aspects of the wedding planning process and we would 1000% chose them to plan our wedding time and time again. When we began this process, we interviewed multiple other planners, but they were the clear choice after all our meetings - they are absolute pros! Their personality and style were a perfect fit for our vision and were such a pleasure to work with throughout the process. Planning a destination wedding is not easy, but Francesca and Blake truly made it a seamless process through their communication, organization and execution. Blake and Francesca were always extremely quick and attentive to respond - whether that be through email, texts or over the phone and we were always impressed by the open line of communication. One of our favorite parts of the planning process was the design meeting. Francesca and Blake had real life samples of fabrics, chairs, place settings, you name it, so you can touch and feel the details you were deciding on in person. After we gave some inspiration photos, they hit the ground running with their recommendations and they truly brought our vision to life and it was even better than anything that we could have dreamed of! Our entire vendor team came from recommendations of PLB and every single vendor was 10/10. So many of our guests have raved about our wedding being the best wedding they have ever attended and everyone loved our attention to detail - this was all thanks to PureLuxe Bride. We are so thankful for their hard work, time intensive planning and behind the scenes help on our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding and especially during the week of our wedding, we did not feel any stress about the details because we had so much confidence in the Pure Luxe Bride team - they made sure every box was checked. My husband and I were truly able to be present on our wedding day and our planners always checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we were well fed and hydrated! We are so thankful that we chose Francesca and Blake to make our wedding day the best day of our lives! Look no further and hire Pure Luxe Bride - you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Working with Francesca and Blake was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and I highly recommend hiring them for your special day. They made the wedding planning process seamless and enjoyable. Not only are they extremely talented and professional, but they were also accessible and always willing to answer any questions we had. We felt like they really listened and understood our vision for our big day. Our wedding day went perfectly and it is all thanks to Francesca and Blake.

Fantastic experience: After our first month as newlyweds, my husband, and our families, would like to extend our deepest appreciation to Blake and Francesca for their exceptional efforts in planning our unforgettable wedding day. From our initial meeting to the wedding day, their expertise and dedication shone through, turning my vision into a breathtaking reality. Blake and Francesca's keen recommendations and unwavering support, even while planning from afar in NJ, made the entire process a joy. Their professionalism and attention to detail surpassed our expectations, leaving us in awe of the stunning outcome. As an event planner myself, it was such a relief knowing the wedding was in the best of hands and I can just relax and enjoy the day!

Fantastic experience: 100% would use Francesca & Blake over and over again and would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a great wedding planning experience and have a completely stress free experience from start to finish. Francesca & Blake are thoughtful, organized, creative, straightforward and kind. Throughout the whole planning process Francesca & Blake always kept communication open, answering any questions we had, and were always prompt to booking vendors. They listened to what we were asking for, and always suggested vendors based on our personal interests/preferences. The vendors they suggested were 10/10. Not only were they all best in their crafts, but genuinely sweet human beings and a blast to work with (which makes such a huge difference for your wedding weekend!) Never in a million years did we even dream that our wedding would be what it was - from the large to small details, Francesca & Blake made sure everything was perfect. Francesca & Blake made the planning process fun and were so genuinely kind and loving towards us the whole time. Not only did my husband and I love it, but all of our guests did too - they can’t stop talking about how smooth and enjoyable it was as a guest, and how beautiful everything was! Everything from our wedding day was PERFECT and I couldn’t have asked for one thing to be different thanks to Francesca & Blake's work. If you want to have FUN and work with the NICEST team - I would choose Blake & Francesca!!

Fantastic experience: We are still floating from the magnificent wedding created by Francesca and Blake at Pure Luxe Bride. Our daughter's dream wedding was executed with perfection. Their style, their communication, their industry contacts are flawless. They took all the worries out of planning and made it so enjoyable. I can not thank them enough for all their efforts. Love these girls-miss them already!!!!

Fantastic experience: Words can not adequately describe how incredible Francesca & Blake are! If you are considering ​enlisting the services of Pure Luxe Bride for your wedding planning needs, do it!!! On my wedding day, I received countless comments from friends and family that I was such a "chill bride" - It's true, I did not feel an ounce of stress a​nd I owe 100% of that to Pure Luxe Bride's meticulous planning. They had every single detail, no matter how big or small, already thought out and flawlessly executed. During our planning process they helped us curate the most PERFECT list of vendors, kept us on track, managed our budgets, and thought of every tiny detail. PLB not only met but exceeded every single one of our expectations. Francesca and Blake are the epitome of professionalism, and their responsiveness is unmatched — ​even a year out from the wedding, they made us feel like their top priority.​ I cannot recommend ​t​hem enough!!

Fantastic experience: Hiring Francesca and Blake was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process! They are incredibly organized, driven, knowledgeable and most of all just lovely to work with. My parents and I had different items that we considered high priority, and they addressed each one with the utmost care. All of Francesca’s recommendations for vendors were truly amazing – each one delivered exactly what we wanted. Francesca knew my vision even better than I did, and the whole event turned out stunning! The PLB team thought of so many little details that we would not have even considered – all of which made the day run so smoothly. I cannot imagine how we would have managed the 18-month planning process without PLB. They kept us on track, on budget, and within our design goals. I would 100% recommend them to anyone in the Charleston area, and wish I could get married again just to do another event with them

Fantastic experience: Blake and Francesca are honestly two of the best people I've ever met and we are so fortunate that we got to work with them to plan our wedding. From the very first day I called and spoke with Blake, I was obsessed and I knew that they were the only ones for us. They are the most professional team I've ever met and boy oh boy do they know what they're doing! At my own job, I pride myself on being responsive, and they put me to shame. They helped me out with every. single. detail. from the smallest to the biggest things and made the whole planning process super fun, seamless and stress-free. A few days before our wedding date, we got word that there was going to be a hurricane, which would end up causing our venue to shut down. It was decided that we would postpone until the Spring, but that didn’t stop Blake and Francesca from keeping the dream alive that weekend. They quickly worked on a Plan B, which involved a small ceremony at my parent’s Airbnb with our officiant, photographer and the most beautiful flowers. I threw on what was supposed to be my rehearsal dinner dress and we did the dang thing with a small group of friends and family that made it down before the hurricane. I could never thank Blake and Francesca enough for their positive energy, which turned what could have been a terrible weekend into one of the best weekends of our lives. Fast forward to our (second) wedding in the Spring and OMG!!! It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. They carried out my vision to absolute perfection. I feel like I had a lot of different ideas than what they might’ve been used to, which just means that they truly understand their individual clients. They made our wedding into the best night of our lives (again). I’ve had so many friends and family plan weddings and all of them would ask me how I was so calm, cool and collected all of the time and truly the answer is Pure Luxe Bride! Thank you thank you thank you! :)

Fantastic experience: If you’re wondering whether to hire Pure Luxe Bride for your wedding - do it!!!! I did a curated elopement with Francesca and she was AMAZING. I am in awe of how perfectly everything went, I was so happy my cheeks hurt from smiling so much!! I got lots of compliments about every aspect of our wedding - from how great Francesca herself was, how the venue was stunning, how great the photo/video team was, how great the pictures turned out, how gorgeous the flowers were, how beautiful our hair/makeup was, how our officiant was perhaps the best they’ve heard, and how beautiful the music was. Francesca and Blake work with top notch vendors and boy does it make a difference! It meant so much to my husband and I to pull off such a seamless and beautiful day. We loved every minute of it and I can’t think of anything we’d change at all.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Francesca and Blake MANY times and they always delivers the BEST! They work VERY well with the clients and always do a fantastic job with every element of wedding coordination. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND!

Fantastic experience: Pure Luxe Bride should be your first and only choice if you want a stress free wedding experience. Francesca & Blake made our dream wedding happen beyond how we could have even envisioned it. They made it so easy and enjoyable from our initial call to the day of, and made us comfortable even when we had to come up with creative solutions to work around extreme weather conditions (we're talking like monsoon rain). We are so grateful for the vendor team they assembled for making our day perfect in less than perfect weather conditions.
