A Beautiful Theme

Experiencia fantástica: Our wedding venue required a wedding planner and to be honest, my initial reaction was reluctance, but Ashley and A Beautiful Theme was not just needed, they added so much value to the wedding experience, I now am more than delighted we selected this company as our planner! That's something that I didn't imagine would be possible when we were interviewing planners. We hired Ashley for Month of Coordination services. Much of the planning we had done ourselves including invitations, selection of vendors, decorations, and more. Ashley join us exactly 30 days before the wedding and worked not just with me, but my bridesmaids, husband, and every vendor. Every meeting was open to whomever I needed involved to ensure that we were all on the same page and everyone's ideas and responsibilities were clear. She took the time to visit the venue and walk through everything with the owner, even though she had worked there before and had been recommended by the venue. She contributed ideas to our discussions with the DJ and gave us both some ideas we might not have otherwise considered. She created a detailed flow of the day for the wedding party, and a smaller version for guests that included her telephone number for contacts so those of us in the wedding party would not have to stress about those guest needs the day of the event. I really appreciated how Ashley worked with our officiant as well. Our officiant had shared that some wedding planners run the show and in prior services had made them feel excluded. Not only did our officiant feel included, but the way the event worked resulted in her being part of the procession and staying to join us for part of the reception too! It was a gift to have her joy present for more than just the ceremony. Ashley's additional value came in helping us with guidance about flowers and table decor that we would not have considered, helping coordinate transportation and parking, and catching a few little things during the rehersal and the event that seemed normal to those of us who aren't involved in weddings frequently, but could have been problematic. Overall, Ashley's electronic tools, detailed approach, engaging personality, and conductor-like energy kept everything flowing exceptionally well for everyone involved in and attending the wedding. She brought the vendor team together (which is so critical for a destination wedding) to create an event we wanted -- being sure that the spirit and ambiance of our wedding was what we envisioned. She and her staff were a pleasure to work with and are highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: We love working with Ashley! The importance of hiring a great wedding planner cannot be overlooked. Ashley is awesome at seamless coordination between clients and vendors and we always appreciate working with you. Thanks for being an amazing "Friendor!"

Experiencia fantástica: Attention! Please listen carefully, Ashley and her team ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Being on the venue side, I had always recommended Ashley to my wedding couples because she was well organized, established a trust with our couples and met deadlines for the venue. When it was time for my wedding, Ashley was one of the first vendors that we hired for both full-service wedding planning and floral. This decision, without a doubt, was the best decision we ever made. Our wedding was a dream come true because of her. She is patient, thoughtful, incredibly detailed and listens to your envisions to make your dream become a reality for the special day. After our wedding, we had so many guests compliment our floral and even had a future bride ask us about our flowers. We couldn't thank her enough, from the bottom of our hearts.

Experiencia fantástica: We had the best experience working with Ashley at A Beautiful Theme. We used A Beautiful Theme for both wedding planning and florals. I absolutely loved my experience! Ashley is so wonderful to work with and always brings her A game. She is organized, professional, and incredibly kind. A true joy to be around. She really helped bring my vision to life and ease any nerves day-of. She made the wedding process a dream! I am so thrilled with her services. The florals were absolutely beautiful. Truly everything I wanted and then more. I still dream about them daily!! To any future brides: I wholeheartedly endorse A Beautiful Theme and recommend them fully! I had such a dreamy and beautiful wedding and I would not have been able to do it without Ashley.

Experiencia fantástica: Our son & his now wife were fortunate enough to choose A Beautiful Theme with Ashley as their wedding planner and Stephan as their florist. Ashley was ever present before, during & after the wedding celebration. It was a Jewish wedding & Ashley coordinated with the rabbi to enhance our Jewish traditions. She & Stephan worked tirelessly to create a chuppah which was a simple, yet stunning focus for the ceremony. Ashley made everything run smoothly from beginning to end. You simply cannot go wrong with A Beautiful Theme to make your wedding celebration perfect. They will go the extra mile to help you create memories that will stay with you forever.

Experiencia fantástica: We hired Ashley for both month-of-coordination and florals for our wedding and she pulled off a smooth, flawless event! She helped us think through and plan for all the small details of the day and we felt so good handing things off day-of knowing that she had it covered. The florals were exactly what I was looking for – whimsey and fun with color – and we’ve received so many compliments on them.

Experiencia fantástica: Ashley and her team at A Beautiful Theme were simply incredible! We got to work with Ashley for both full planning and florals! She thought of EVERY DETAIL which led to a seamless and gorgeous wedding. We had guests come up to us during and after the wedding to tell us how beautiful and SMOOTH everything went - this is because of Ashley and her team. We will forever have the most special memories to look back on and we thank Ashley for that. Photos were taken by Ashley Shaw out of ABQ (check her out-you should work with her too).

Experiencia fantástica:

Experiencia fantástica: Ashley helped make our wedding the best day of our lives! She was great with bringing together a cohesive design in a tricky venue and the week of logistics. On our day there were a few bumps and Ashley did a fantastic job of managing them so that we never knew what went wrong until after the event. Could not have done our wedding without A Beautiful Theme and very grateful for Ashley's partnership.

Experiencia negativa: I had a brief and disappointing interaction with the owner of this floral business. She was impatient and not willing to work within my schedule as the customer. But she did ask me to pay $2500 up front and sign a contract without seeing a proposal first. Our wedding date is a busy one this year, and she was rushing to fill it. When I didn't sign a contract or pay the deposit (again still no proposal), she sent an abrupt email stating that she was accepting another wedding instead. Lots of red flags when a business asks this of you. It was a blessing that I found another amazing florist. All the best to the brides out there! Wedding planning is stressful, so be careful (not rushed) to find the right partners.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working with Ashley and the A Beautiful Theme team for the past 3 wedding seasons, and have always admired them. Ashley is one of the most creative, detailed, and talented wedding planners that I have ever met, and I highly …

Experiencia fantástica: Ashley and the entire A Beautiful Theme are beyond amazing. From full service planning wedding and florals for our wedding, everything was perfect. Ashley is a true professional, expert and by far the best decision we made when it came to our wedding.

Experiencia fantástica: Ashley is the BEST! We worked with Ashley to plan, design, and provide flowers for a large destination wedding at a private residence. She navigated all of the ups and downs with grace and cheer, made countless trips to our venue to make sure everything was perfect and coordinate with vendors, and pulled off the most incredible and gorgeous day for us and all of our guests. Her creative problem solving and eye for design were especially appreciated. Ashley and the vendors that she recommended made wedding day so fun and low stress! We highly recommend her.

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t even count how many times I said on my wedding day and the days leading up to it, “Hiring A Beautiful Theme was the best money I spent on our entire wedding,” and my friends and family would completely agree! We booked Ashley for month-of coordination and also for our wedding florals. She was invaluable to have at my walkthrough with our venue coordinator and because she knew my vision she was able to ask questions I hadn’t even thought of to make it come to life. Our entire wedding party praised her organization when we practiced our ceremony during the rehearsal. I truly believe that our wedding ran as smooth as it did because of Ashley and her team. She made it look effortless but being a wedding vendor myself I know how hard they all worked to make it appear that way. Ashley did an amazing job with our wedding florals and decor elements throughout our spaces. We received so many compliments! I highly recommend A Beautiful Theme!!

Experiencia fantástica: I can't speak highly enough about my experience with Ashley and the team over at A Beautiful Theme. I hired her to do florals for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary and it was her attention to detail for me! My gosh, from start to finish she was really knowledable about what flowers she thought would work best together while never steering away from my vision. She was friendly, energetic, and just an overall true professional. I could tell her main goal was to make my grandparent's event look elegant.. and she absolutely outdid herself!

Experiencia fantástica: Having a destination wedding can be extremely stressful. Planning a wedding in three months can also be very stressful. Combine those two, and it gets chaotic. I live in the Midwest and hired Ashley in March to plan my June wedding. It was a crazy idea, but from the moment I explained my dream to Ashley she was on board. There was never a question of if we could do something, but always how. She thinks outside of the box and will push to make sure your day is exactly what you envisioned! The day of our wedding felt so balanced because of all the wonderful planning in place. I ended up getting married in the pouring rain, and I remember how supportive she was of my every decision that day. Not only did she pull off the impossible planning process in a rushed timeline, she also made a thunderstorm in the desert work for an outdoor ceremony. She has great taste and is an awesome sounding board for ideas. You can’t go wrong with this wonderful lady. All my thanks and love to this company for their dedication and class.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot recommend Ashley and her team enough! She is so kind and easy to work with. She made our wedding stress free and go off without a hitch!

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ashley and Stephen!! They took a vision I had and made it coke to life!! I had difficulty finding a florist who could create the beautiful image I had in my mind and living hundreds of miles away from the wedding venue made things even more difficult! Thank goodness I was introduced to Ashley by my wedding planner! Within one month of the Wedding day Ashley and Stephen created the most magical setting with the most beautiful floral arrangements I have ever seen! They made my special day simply spectacular. Additionally, they were the nicest, most accommodating crew!! I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting something magical and down right perfect. Many many thanks to them!!!! Lindsay Riddick

Experiencia fantástica: Choosing A Beautiful Theme was the best early decision that we made when we started the wedding planning process. We met with Ashley Sargent early on in Santa Fe to discuss the event at La Posada. At that initial meeting she took all the time needed to understand our vision for the wedding and to answer all of our questions. Ashley helped us to choose vendors and that was extremely helpful since we were planning from out of state. With Ashley’s guidance all was in place for an August 2020 wedding-and then COVID happened. We were so discouraged to have to postpone the event for almost a full year. Ashley took charge of notifying all of our vendors to have them move the date to 2021 and that was so appreciated since we were broken-hearted about the postponement. Fast forward to Spring 2021 and we were able to pick up right where we left off. Ashley guided us in finalizing the arrangements with La Posada and our vendors, all of whom had experience with Ashley and vice versa. And let me tell you about the florals! We scored double with A Beautiful Theme in that Ashley is a florist extraordinaire! In a word her floral design was extraordinary. I am so glad we will have photos to remind us of how simply perfectly the event came together. The lovely details in the overall design just made our entire vision come to life. Ashley was always available for phone calls, emails, texts and general hand holding which allayed all our fears about out of state planning. Quite literally our beautiful event would not have been possible without Ashley and her team at A Beautiful Theme.

Experiencia fantástica: Ashley was amazing she was able to perfectly bring my vision to life. She was so helpful with any questions I had and overall made my day run smoothly!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working with Ashley and the A Beautiful Theme team for the past 3 wedding seasons, and have always admired them. Ashley is one of the most creative, detailed, and talented wedding planners that I have ever met, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help bring their wedding day or event to life! In addition to planning, she and her husband also create some of the most amazing floral arrangements and bouquets that I have ever seen. I cannot say enough good things about Ashley and her team!

Experiencia fantástica: We really enjoyed working with the A Beautiful Theme team for our wedding and first anniversary. They are so kind and professional. The floral arch they created for our wedding day was incredibly gorgeous and exactly what we envisioned. We also really appreciated Ashley’s wedding coordination/planning services. She was detail oriented and took special care to make sure our big day was wonderful. A Beautiful Theme crafted a stunning bridal bouquet and recreated it’s beauty and grandeur for our first anniversary photo shoot! Their floral design is elegant and top-notch!

Experiencia fantástica: A beautiful theme was amazing ! Ashley and the team officiated both of my Auntie's wedding's and were fantastic. Ashley was so amazing and helped my Auntie's along the way to make sure their ceremonies were exactly what they wanted and more. My Auntie's and Family members were so grateful that they found them! Ashley and her all star team were just amazing and excellent!!

Experiencia fantástica: A beautiful theme was amazing ! Ashley and the team officiated our wedding for us and were fantastic. She was very patient with us and helped us along to make sure our ceremony exactly what we had in mind and more. I’m so greatful we found them!

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough wonderful things about A Beautiful Theme! We called Ashley after a horrible experience with our first wedding planner. The first wedding planner we hired never delivered anything she was supposed to and lied about coordinating everything with our vendors. We found this out about a month before the wedding and when I told Ashley what happened she was very kind and receptive to help us and agreed to take on coordinating our special day. She jumped in with no problem, helped us pick up all the pieces with all the vendors and gave a ton of insight to the coordination of the wedding. She is a true joy to work with and made sure my wedding was exactly what I wanted. We chose a venue that required a ton of coordination from catering and rentals to our 7 piece band. All our bridesmaids, groomsmen, and family loved their team. They were always professional and organized. Ashley has a bubbly personality that just radiates happiness with everyone. I don’t know what I would’ve done if she hadn’t agreed to be our wedding coordinator. My only regret is not hiring her from the start as she would have made the whole process an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend a Beautiful theme for wedding planning and coordination.

Experiencia fantástica: Ashley and her all star team at A Beautiful Theme exceeded our expectations ! The floral design at our woodland themed wedding was exactly what we were dreaming of. Every detail was unique and perfectly showcased our one-of-a-kind wedding theme. Not only did they create gorgeous floral designs in every nook of our venue from the Ceremony Arch to the bathroom counter, Ashley & her team were so upbeat, hard working, and incredibly pleasant to work with. As a stressed bride, it is a god-sent to have the talent and personality that A Beautiful Theme brings to the events they work. I plan on using their services for the next bridal shower & baby shower I am planning for friends in the coming year.
