Featured Bride - Kayla Gilbert

Carly Rager of Carly Rager Design & Event Coordinating tells us about her work with Kayla Gilbert.

"I was honored when Kayla asked me to help her and her mother with the planning of her big day. See I have known Kayla for a few years now because she worked with me at The Bride's Boutique and after she left way made sure to stay in touch. They were a dream to work with. Kayla was the farthest thing from a bridezilla and her mother Renatta just wanted everything perfect for her daughter. From day one of Kayla's planning her only focus was to be J.B.'s wife. All the other details mattered but were never the focus. She wanted to take her time and plan the wedding they both envisioned. From meeting with the DJ to the cake tasting and bridal portraits we had fun in every meeting we had. In most every wedding process there are kinks that come up along the way. Kayla was thrown a big kink when the May floods happened. I will never forget the tearful conversation with Kayla when she got word that Waterstreet Events Center was under water and soon the message that it was not going to be available for her day. This was a new one for me. We talked it out and by the end of the conversation Kayla was calm and just ready to have another option for the celebration of her and her future husband. Every moment I worked wtih this wonderful family I was more and more exited for them June 5th was a beautiful day for a beautiful couple and I was so glad to be a part of Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Gilbert's big day. Congratulations and Lots of Love, Carly Rager"
