Pure Luxe Bride

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.

I can't thank Francesca, Blake, and Hunter enough for making our wedding day feel like an absolute dream. I saw them create the most perfect day for my best friend, so as soon as I was engaged, I knew that I would be reaching out to them. As soon as I filled out the inquiry form, I heard back right away (some of the other planners in the Charleston area didn't even take the time to reply to my inquiry forms). Throughout the planning process, they were always quick to reply and provided me and my mom with so many great resources/tips/ideas/guidance which put me at ease since this was our first wedding in the fam. As an indecisive bride, they were exactly what I needed. The design meeting was honestly jaw dropping because of how well they already knew what I wanted so confidently and effortlessly. They guided me to make confident decisions and they were absolutely spot on with the vision on our wedding day. Everyone is still talking about the wedding months later and I would do it all over with them again. They are absolutely incredible and I highly recommend them to everyone!!!

It is a struggle to put into words just how wonderful it is to work with Pure Luxe Bride. My husband and I spoke with several wedding planners before finding Francesca and Blake. Immediately after speaking with Francesca for the first time, we felt at ease and knew this was the planning team we wanted to work with. I was not a girl that had been thinking of her wedding day her whole life and really lacked a vision and direction. Further, my husband and I are not Charleston locals and really had no idea where to begin planning a wedding. Francesca and Blake really took the time to get to know us and helped us to develop a concept that we loved. This team is organized, detail oriented, straightforward, and genuinely so fun to work with. They respond to all questions quickly, no matter how big or small the inquiry may be. Not to mention, they are incredibly creative and put together some of the most beautiful design concepts we have ever seen. Sometimes, wedding concepts and designs can feel recycled and redundant. This will not be the case working with PLB. Their wedding concepts are stylish and unique, and you truly have a day that feels personalized and curated specifically for you. During our planning meetings, we never felt any pressure to pick certain items or go with certain vendors, we felt like we were sitting down to hang out with old friends. Their infectious nature and vibrant personalities have allowed them to create connections with some of the very best vendors in the industry. On the day of the wedding, you will not feel any stress. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING, was taken care of and handled in such a gracious and professional manner. If there are problems on your wedding day, you truly will no know about it. We were dealt a very beautiful but very windy wedding day. Francesca and Blake made arrangements to line our tent with wind shields to help make the evening comfortable for our guest JUST HOURS BEFORE OUR EVENT STARTED. I cannot emphasize enough what a relief it was to have them there on the day of the wedding. My husband and I were able to be present in the moment and just enjoy the day together. They made sure we had time to eat and that we always had a drink in our hands. We have had some time to reflect on our wedding and we have continuously stated that we would change nothing about our wedding day. Our guests are still raving about the stunning design and the excellent entertainment (vendors we would have never found without the help of PLB). If you are hesitant at all, I can assure you that choosing Francesca and Blake was the very best decision we have ever made. We had the wedding of our dreams and made two new friends in the process.

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!!

Wow… how do I even begin a review for two amazing people who gave so much to ensure me and my husband had the best day of our lives together?! Francesca and Blake at Pure Luxe Bride are ABSOLUTELY top of the line in this business! My husband and I chose Blake and Francesca after speaking to three different wedding planners in Charleston, and our initial gut feeling about them couldn’t have been more true. As a brideand groom our stress levels throughout the year and a half of planning were extremely minimal, and this is strictly because of how professional, punctual, and what amazing communicators Blake and Francesca were. After our design meetings my husband was so thrilled with both of them he said he would trust them to plan our entire wedding and know we could walk in blind and be happy! And looking back, he was 100% right! Blake and Francesca knew exactly how to assist us in finding our vision (because wow we realized we are not professionals haha) and lead us in the right direction when it came to vendors and design. Every. Single. Vendor. they recommended to us was perfection. This was huge for us as we were planning our wedding from out of town, but honestly, they made us feel like we were right there every step of the way. Anytime we were hesitant about something they knew exactly how to help us feel confident in our decisions and personally they never made me feel like a difficult bride when I went back and forth on a decision. They truly made us feel like we were communicating with old friends, and as a bride I couldn’t have wished for a better planning experience. On the day of the wedding Blake and Francesca truly showed their professionalism! They were on top of EVERYTHING, every vendor they recommended was AMAZING, and the entire team just crushed it! They directed everyone smoothly, made sure we were well fed and well “hydrated” throughout our day haha, and ensured that all we had to worry about was soaking in the moment together. And that is exactly what we were able to do because of the both of them. If there were any hiccups on the day of our wedding, who cares! Because my husband and I never knew about it thanks to the both of them. I am sure of it! People ask us to this day what we would have changed about our wedding or was there anything with the planning that didn’t go the way we wanted on the day of…. And honestly I feel slightly guilty when I respond with “ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!” My husband and I both agree that our big day couldn’t have been more perfect and we know we owe so much of this to Blake and Francesca. 6 months later and our friends and family still talk about how perfect our wedding weekend was like it was yesterday. If you’re looking for wedding planners who are professional, punctual, direct, have amazing vision, provide the best vendors, and overall treat you like family… then look no further and get on their books yesterday!

Our Charleston elopement by Pure Luxe Bride was amazing from start to finish! Francesca and Blake are so easy and wonderful to work with. I felt like they understood our vision and turned it into more than I could have ever dreamed. Our family was also amazed at how seamless and beautiful everything was on our wedding day. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect, classic Charleston wedding whether that’s a huge, grand affair or a smaller more intimate ceremony like our elopement! Y’all are the dream team!!!

We loved working with PLB team. No exaggeration, we would have ended up in a court house if it wasn't for their hard work, creativity, dedication, organization, and thoughtfulness. My husband and I are both from Charleston, but have very busy NYC lives now. We wanted the big, family celebration, but definitely did not have the time to plan it ourselves. PLB did an amazing job working with our busy schedules and making things as easy as possible, all while ensuring we had the creative input and integrity we wanted. The things we were really specific about (decor, music, wine), they executed perfectly and sourced amazing vendors for us. The things that we didn't have a strong POV on, they lended their expertise and helped us understand the best path forward. 10/10 working with them was so efficient, smooth, stress-free. Beyond that though, the team is a delight! And true creatives at heart. The offered the perfect balance of creativity and design with logistical excellence and pragmatism. For example, we had to scramble to pull together a rain plan that was pretty disruptive to our original vision. They made this not-so-fun thing seamless and ensured it was something that we were not going to stressing about on the actual wedding day. The rain plan (which we ended up having to go with!) was flawlessly executed. Kindness, good communication, patience, thoroughness, seeing things through. These are all the things you can expect from PLB and more. As I said at the beginning, we literally could not have done it without them.

It’s hard to see all the amazing reviews posted by brides about PLB. Our wedding was an utter disaster and the planning process with them wasn’t much better. Some of the small things that went wrong were they forgot to have the venue turn on the lights in the Avenue of Oak or add this to our lighting bill, the fountain wasn’t turned on, the custom ice cubes we ordered only had my husband’s initial on them, the one verse in my father daughter dance I request not be omitted was cut, and those were the small things. The big things included the band was changed last minute and not all the members showed up for our event. This meant our custom stage was half empty and looked ridiculous. To make things worse the florist PLB recommended we hire after refusing to work with the florist I requested, destroyed our vision. The only photos from our venue have hardly any flowers in them. Her work lacked the skill and artistry to create installations or arrangement we asked for and PLB watched her put together the flowers for our wedding and didn’t say a thing when they differed greatly from what we asked for. The icing on the cake was that night and the next day I texted Francesca to inform her of our disappointment and dissatisfaction with the flowers. She failed to forward that complaint on to the florist or tell us she wasn’t going to in the time permitted by the florist to allow us to recover a partial refund. When we inquired about how to resolve this she pretty much said “F off we don’t care anymore”. The planning process with PLB was great either. I wanted a custom look for our wedding. My goal was to take an interior designer approach to the decor and details. PLB prefers to work with a small group of vendors. While some were amazing, mainly our caterer, it was clear they didn’t take the time to research what vendor would be best for us, our style or design. For example, one month prior to our wedding we had to frantically find a new baker because the baker PLB recommended, who we hired finally admitted she couldn’t produce the look we wanted for our wedding cake. In addition, they are not receptive to working with new vendors. I had to push to get them to use a new rental company out of Savannah. At the end of the day our photographer was the best decision we made. She fought for us and what we wanted. She spent hours photoshopping and working with angles to make our venue decor look similar to the inspiration photos we submitted after our florist ignored them completely. What hurts the most is PLB made her feel like shit. I even had to send an email at one point asking if everyone was going to be able to get along. PLB struggled to create custom designs for us. I think they work well in recreating images their brides provide.

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'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. Pure Luxe Bride not only met but exceeded every single one of our expectations. The ​P​LB team is 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!!

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!!!!

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 😊

Hiring Pure Luxe Bride was the best decision I made during the wedding planning process! Francesca and Blake are the most professional and talented team! From the start they were energetic, kind, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping me plan my dream wedding. I had a very specific vision and they brought that to life and then some. My wedding guests said they had never been to a more beautifully decorated and well run wedding. Everything ran so smoothly and Francesca and Blake's attention to detail is second to none. They seriously think of everything so you never have to worry about a thing because they have you covered. They respond to emails incredibly quickly and were so approachable about any questions I may have had. My wedding day will forever be the best day of my life and Francesca and Blake played a HUGE part in that. I couldn't recommend them more highly! If you want to have a show stopper wedding that is run incredibly smoothly where every detail is thought through and you never have to worry about a thing then hire Pure Luxe Bride!!! You won't be disappointed!! :)

I cannot recommend Francesca and Blake enough! I knew from our first conversation that I wanted them to help plan our wedding. From that first initial conversation, Francesca already had an idea of a band for me (which I ended up picking and LOVING) and she had an answer for every question that I could think of. They are truly a dynamic duo and can do it all. They are everything you could want in a planner: supportive, organized, beautiful designs, able to translate your vision, navigate family dynamics, and just amazing and fun girls! So if you’re looking for a planner who would break into your Airbnb to grab your husband’s shirt buttons while getting chased by a cat hours before the wedding, Pure Luxe Bride is for you (big shout out to Blake!). Francesca and Blake are the absolute best!!!

I don't even know where to start. When I started looking into having a destination wedding two years ago there was so much to consider. Being across the country and having no one in Charleston that could help me I was reaching out to different venues and happen to get a list of planners in the area. I looked at maybe two before looking up Pure Luxe Bride and I fell in love with everything about their aesthetic. After our first phone meeting, I was sold! I didn't need to talk to any other planners I knew they would be the ones! You could immediately tell how much they truly care and want to create the best wedding for each and every one of their couples. Francesca and Blake are such a hard working team and I cannot thank them enough for making our wedding day the most magical day of our lives. I am not the most creative person so I gave them a few small inputs and they took that and put everything together so seamlessly. Their attention to detail had every guest at our wedding telling us how beautiful our wedding was and how much fun they had. Every vendor they recommended and brought into our wedding was outstanding. Their years of planning Charleston weddings makes them so knowledgeable within the wedding industry. If anyone is planning a wedding don't look any further than the Pure Luxe Bride team! It's been two weeks since our wedding and I couldn't wait to write this review. They truly deserve 10 stars! In the two weeks since our wedding, I have emailed them two or three times with various questions and they still reply so quickly and have answered everything! If you let them, they will turn you wedding day into the most magical day you could ever hope for!

If you are planning a wedding in Charleston, SC you MUST reach out to Pure Luxe Bride! Francesca and Blake are an amazing team with an outstanding vendor list! Our daughter's wedding a couple weeks ago was breathtaking! Brought tears to our eyes when we walked into the venue. Pure Luxe Bride's attention to detail, design and their creativity was flawless! Guest after guest gushed how perfect of a wedding it was and it truly was nothing short of spectacular! Francesca and Blake are sweet, kind, professional and fun and will go above and beyond to make your Wedding Day what you have always dreamed of....Magical!

I cannot describe how amazing Blake and Francesca are! My bride and I were fortunate enough to have them as our wedding planning team and agree that having them as ourgteam was the best decision we ever made (yes, even more than the I Do's.) Our wedding weekend was the best weekend of my bride and I's lives because the PLB had EVERY SINGLE DETAIL from the planning stage to the wedding weekend managed and accounted for. All I's were dotted and T's were crossed. Everything at our wedding from the DJ, to the flowers, to the amazing photographer were perfect and that is because of the wisdom and expertise of the PLB team! Our guests keep reaching out to tell us how "they just had the best weekend of their lives " and that is because of the absolute best wedding planners in the business. The professionalism, care, and attention to detail is absolutely top notch with the PLB team. They also have the best recommendations for every single thing Charleston - restaurants, bars, venues, anything! From our first phone call, Blake and Francesca had answers to all of our (sometimes dumb) questions and were always responsive and clear with all of their communication. They were warm and sweet at every turn. The process that should have been stressful became enjoyable because of the PLB team's care and expertise. The positive energy that Blake and Francesca bring to this process is unmatched. This is the absolute best team in the business and anyone who gets the opportunity to work with the PLB team is better because of it. I cannot thank this amazing team for all that they did for my bride, family, and guests but I am so grateful to have gotten the chance to work with them. This is the best team in the business. Period.

We highly recommend Pure Luxe Bride! My daughter had a destination wedding in Charleston in March 2023. We spoke with several wedding planners a year in advance, and it was immediately clear when we spoke with Francesca that Pure Luxe Bride was our favorite. And that was certainly the right choice! Francesca and Blake are an excellent team, always working collaboratively and professionally. Their guidance and vendor recommendations were superb. And they answered our many questions diligently, thoughtfully, and with kindness. Their creativity, design, and execution were excellent. And the wedding day could not have gone more smoothly! Pure Luxe Bride will take your vision of a perfect wedding day and make it a reality! Thank you, Francesca and Blake, for making my daughter's special day perfect and for making the whole process a wonderful experience for us!

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! :)

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.

Francesca and Blake are hands down the most incredible wedding planners and people! Their attention to detail, creativity, communication, and organization are unmatched. They were the most genuine, fun and kind people to work with and made the wedding planning process seamless and fun. Francesca and Blake provided a calming presence for both my mom and me when we thought a potential surprise November hurricane was headed our way the week of the wedding. They had a plan in place for any unexpected event. Stepping into the tent to see the reception area for the first time was one of the best moments of the day! Everything could not have been more beautiful and every single detail was thought of. They set us up with the best vendors in Charleston and we couldn't be more thankful for their guidance throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend Francesca and Blake enough to anyone planning a wedding in Charleston. They were such a joy to work with and we are lucky to have been able to have them as our planners!

This is the wedding planing duo you need in your life! When I saw what am amazing job Francesca and Blake did with my sister’s wedding I knew I would hire them for mine. They took our day and made it into everything we could have ever dreamed of and more. My jaw dropped when I walked into our reception. Our guest had the best time and are still talking about it. Their eye for detail and passion for what they do in instantly apparent when you meet them. They make sure ever last thing is taken care of (even things you never thought of). The They are also two of the kindest and most welcoming people you will ever meet and we felt like we had made two new friends. We could not have planned our wedding without them. They are simply the best in the business. Do yourself a favor and hire them.

Pure Luxe Bride and, more specifically, Francesca and Blake, quite simply not only have the desire but most definitely the ability to make ALL of your dreams come true! As the mother of one child, a daughter, her wedding day has been a dream of mine for almost thirty years. Bringing Pure Luxe Bride on board as soon as we started the planning process was the smartest decision I made. Having Francesca and Blake as the captains of our team made for a seamless experience from start to finish - and that included dealing with an unexpected impending hurricane coming on the scene at the last minute! They are the most responsive, detail oriented people I have ever worked with in any capacity. At no time did we ever feel that they were not accessible or completely engaged in our wedding from seventeen months ago when we signed our contract to the day of the wedding. They thought of everything, executed everything to perfection and treated us like family. We had fun and lots of laughs with them along the way as well. Francesca and Blake are kind, thoughtful, genuine, hard-working, dedicated professional women with a vast amount of experience and talent. I cannot imagine having my daughter’s wedding without them by our side. I was truly sad as I hugged them goodbye after the wedding and am eternally grateful and indebted to them for all that they did for us.

Francesca & Blake are the dynamic duo that every bride needs when planning her wedding. I wish I could give these women 10 stars. Our wedding truly felt like a fairytale and our guests can’t stop talking about it. I never thought planning a destination wedding could be so easy and steamless. From the moment I spoke to Pure Luxe on the phone I knew I had to have them. They listened to every word I was saying and wanted to make my vision a reality. During the whole process they were so responsive, professional and encouraging with every little detail or worry I had. They are so sweet and attentive the day of the wedding, anything you need they got you covered. I felt as calm as I possible could. I promise they will be the best decision you will make! Our wedding was a dream that we want to relive over and over.

Pure Luxe Bride is the ultimate dream team. It was hands down THE best decision we made when starting the planning process for our wedding. I simply can’t put into words how much Francesca and Blake mean to us and how lucky we felt to have worked with them. Being that we did not live in SC, I don't know how we would have navigated planning our big day with anyone else. They were on top of things that we would have looked over, they were so easy to communicate with and always made sure to provide a quick response to any question. They truly made our vision come to life — it was more perfect than I could have ever envisioned for myself. Walking into our venue, all put together on the day of, I was blown away..it felt like a fairytale, all thanks to them. PLB has built such a good reputation in the City of Charleston, every vendor we spoke with adored and loved them, we knew we had the best team and trusted them fully. They are such a great duo, fun to work with and will go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. We feel like when we come to visit Charleston, we have gained new friends because that is just who they are. If you are starting the planning process, do not hesitate to book with them, you will not regret it. They are unmatchable!

When I was looking for a wedding venue I was looking for venue first and then a planner, however once I met with Blake and Francesca I knew that I needed to flip that. They were so wonderful and had the best past performances on their website that I chose to pick a date and venue that fit them, not me. Best decision I've ever made. These fierce women made me feel so at home when I was planning a destination wedding. From not stressing on the big stuff, to making sure everything matched on the smallest of details. They did not skip a beat and they have a vision for these things that is unmatched. If were to try to create in my brain my personality in a formal setting, well they did it. My husband and I were jaw dropped when we walked into our reception on our wedding day. Not only that, but leading up to the wedding the week of they never skipped a beat. Running errands for us, grabbing umbrellas, working with all of our other vendors. You name it and they did it. And the day of They made you feel like the most important person! These two ladies are a dream team and I don't know how they do it, but I certainly am glad they do! My Wedding would have been sub par had I planned it alone, instead with using Blake and Francesca I had people saying it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to! I am beyond thankful, they are worth it x1000000. It was truly the best experience and outcome any bride could ever wish for. Thank you!!!

PURE LUXE BRIDE UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT! I honestly do not know what I would have done without Francesca and Blake! I told them my vision of what I wanted for my wedding day and they honestly exceeded every single expectation that I had! They made my dream wedding become a reality while also making the wedding planning process so easy and fun! They were with us every step of the way throughout wedding planning as well as the day of, making sure everything ran smoothly. I could not have made it through wedding planning without them and I am so sad that our wedding is over as I will miss chatting with them. I feel like I gained two friends that are the best in the business! They were flawless in their work and I honestly do not have enough great things to say about Francesca and Blake! Pure Luxe Bride is simply, the best!

Francesca & Blake are the best in the business. I knew before I was even engaged that I wanted to work with Pure Luxe Bride based on the beautiful weddings I saw on their Instagram. From the very beginning during our consultation call they hit the ground running, providing us dates and venue recommendations. They both made our year of planning seem so easy, and not once did I feel stressed or overwhelmed. These ladies put together the best team of vendors that went with our vision, and I could not be happier with how the big day turned out. My husband and I and all of our guests were blown away by their stunning design at our venue, it exceeded all of my expectations. I seriously can't thank these ladies enough for all of their hard work. Francesca and Blake are truly so talented at what they do and I could not imagine working with a better team. Highly recommend PLB for your wedding day!!

Words cannot express how grateful I am for Francesca and Blake of Pure Luxe Bride. They are the utmost professionals and the absolute top of their field, both in bespoke luxury planning and design, and as people. I first started working with them in the Fall of 2019 shortly after getting engaged. From the very beginning, Francesca and Blake guided every decision with poise, grace, and an eye for elevated perfection. They understood my vision to the finest detail and made sure that the execution was not only beyond my wildest expectations, but that it was completely personalized and unique to me. PLB are by far the best in class and their curated list of top vendors ensures that their level of purposeful and thoughtful design, luxury, professionalism, and care is carried throughout your entire wedding experience. Every question I had was answered immediately and they always took the time to listen to all of my thoughts, questions, and concerns and responded immediately with great detail and care. This was even more true when we had to postpone our wedding due to unforeseen health circumstances. They handled everything with such kindness and compassion, and made sure the transition to our new wedding date was seamless and even better than before. As an out of state bride and professional, I can’t express how priceless and reassuring their guidance was throughout the planning process. I had such confidence and ease knowing that I was in the best of hands. We loved working with them so much, we also retained Francesca and Blake to plan our welcome party for our all out of state guests. Our guests are still raving about the wedding and the level of detail and thought carried throughout the weekend. It was the perfect experience from start to finish and one my husband and I, our families, and friends will treasure always!

Pure Luxe Bride's team made my daughter's wedding dream come true. Within a day of the surprise engagement party, she was interviewing to find the perfect partners to embark on the journey to the wedding day. In Francesca and Blake she found not only a superbly experienced duo with incredible references, but also a pair of new friends whose excitement and enthusiasm about her marrying her soul-mate mirrored her own. As vendors were considered, facilities toured and design elements considered, F & B gave much more than simply a contact name or a photo of a place setting. For each decision they added their honest opinions about some of my daughter's choices in a wonderfully kind and supportive manner. If you have never made so many choices -- all of which have to appear seamlessly connected -- you need by your side the voice of experience. F & B intuited my daughter's style and took her original ideas to the next level. The wedding itself was simply magical. The coordination and production was without a single hitch. I smile thinking about the number of times I asked F or B about something and they had already done it! Mind reading may need to be added to their list of talents. I can't wait to find some reason to work with Francesca and Blake again. I heard that they are planning a 60th birthday party on Kiawah later this year. Pure Luxe Events? Pure Luxe Occasions? How about Pure Luxe - Simply The Best!

I can’t begin to tell you how stress-free the ladies at Pure Luxe Bride made this mom’s entire wedding experience! Blake & Francesca took care of every detail and made my daughter’s destination wedding in Charleston a weekend that I will never forget. Their recommended vendors were all fabulous, their quick replies to any questions were so appreciated and their management of the wedding day (down to the minute!) allowed me to soak the whole day in without worry! Nothing was a problem for them~even last minute requests were handled with ease. They took my daughter’s vision for her wedding day and ran with it, totally understanding what she wanted and making it happen! I can’t think of one thing that would have made the day more perfect than it was. Thank you for truly making this wedding the best day ever for my daughter! It’s pretty high on the list for me, too!! 💕

Do yourself a favor and use Francesca and Blake for all your wedding planning needs!! My husband and I knew that we wanted to elope in Charleston and after speaking, with a few different companies, we instantly knew the Pure Luxe Bride Team was the fit for us. Francesca and Blake were absolutely amazing from beginning to end. When I finally met them in person after months of communicating virtually they both just embraced me in a hug!! We chose the curated elopement package and they took care of every last detail allowing for an extremely stress-free day. The vendor team they worked with for our wedding was absolutely amazing (but I wouldn’t expect anything less) every single person we met was so thoughtful and made sure our day was special. Our wedding was so beautiful and I am just in awe of how perfectly everything came together. I truly appreciate their attention to detail and amazing design style.

Francesa and Blake were an absolute joy to work with! From the moment I reached out they hit the ground running with finding vendors that fit my unique style. As a fairly laid back bride I let them take the creative wheel and it did not disappoint. On our wedding day everything came together and was so beautiful. I didn't feel stressed at any point in the planning process and their communication was the best. I highly recommend making them part of your big day!

For my only daughter, her wedding day had to be one of the best days of her life, and it was! Francesca, and Blake made planning a huge event nearly seamless. Questions, emails were always answered in a timely manner, also keeping us informed on the processes, and schedules as the big day grew closer. All in all the wedding went off without a hitch, most of all my daughter was the happiest I’ve ever seen her.

Francesca & Blake are THE DREAM TEAM. For all future brides & MOB's this is all I can say: A question I received throughout the process is "OMG you must be so stressed, etc etc" but I never had the chance to- because F&B handled it all, and I mean EVERYTHING. They took my vision and completely ran with it and made the whole process seamless and fun! They honed into every detail- and it did not go un-noticed by our guests- from the tent design, florals, caterers, the list could go on! They are not only amazing wedding planners, but good people- and I will continue to have a friendship with them now that my wedding is over! However- can we PLEASE hit rewind and do that again? It truly was the best night of my life! My favorite part about the process was the wedding was at my father's house. Where I was getting my hair and make up done, I was at a window facing the yard where the tent was getting put up. I watched it go from a blank canvas to a coastal chic garden party right before my eyes- it was truly incredible! I could go on forever about these two, but I will end saying it will be a miss on your part if you do not use them!

Pure Luxe Bride made our wedding day dreams come true! They surpassed our dreams and expectations. We are still getting calls and texts saying how our wedding was perfect!! I knew they were who I wanted to work with from our initial phone call. Francesca was clear and concise about their services and so sweet and excited about our wedding. We started planning while living in Chicago, so Francesca and Blake were handling many things for us and communicating via zoom and phone calls. Anytime we needed anything and would email, they would respond to us within 24 hours if not only a few hours! Their attentiveness and responsiveness were the most comforting things in working with them via long distance. They suggested the most fantastic team of vendors who worked so well together and were just as attentive and excellent as PLB. Come the wedding week, my anxiety kicked in with many last-minute things to take care of. The girls would respond to my messages immediately, call me a few times to help calm me down, and even offer to take a few of my duties off of my hands. The weather forecast wasn't looking the best a few days before our wedding. Francesca and Blake came up with a Plan B and reassured me that everything would still be perfect. Come the wedding day - the weather held out, but our Plan B was still even more perfect than we imagined our Plan A. Every single aspect of our wedding took our breath away. They brought all my Pinterest dreams to life!!! They were so hands-on with bringing us appetizers and making sure we always had a fresh drink during our reception. When a guest got their makeup on my face, Francesca even used her personal makeup to fix mine. They are so sweet and went above and beyond with everything. Thank you so so much, Pure Luxe Bride, for giving us a fairytale wedding and exceeding our dreams!!!!!

If I could give them 10 stars, I would! From the beginning, Francesca and Blake strived to understand us as a couple as well as our vision for the wedding. Because this was a destination wedding for us, we weren't familiar with local vendors and they were able to provide us with an amazing team that worked seamlessly together. I was always amazed with how quick they are with their communication, it was almost unreal (they would respond within 5 minutes for most emails!). They also were such lifesavers when we decided to postpone our wedding due to COVID. They reached out to our vendors on our behalf and worked with us to make sure that we still get our dream wedding. They also kept me calm when rain was in the forecast and made sure that I will still get my dream outdoor wedding, regardless of the weather. I can never thank them enough for giving me a dream wedding that I thought was impossible. Thank you!!

Franchesca and Blake are the absolute dream team. They made planning a wedding so seamless and so much fun. From the start they were transparent with timelines and deadlines which assured me that they had the planning process under control. When it came time to pick a vendor or pick a design they knew what questions to ask to then suggest the perfect vendors for my vision. Every detail was taken care of and they blew every expectation out of the water. From the band to linens to the timing of everything they had my best interest in mind and surpassed every expectation I had. They truly brought my dreams to life and then exceeded them to create the most beautiful and perfect weekend.

Francesca & Blake are the dynamic duo that everyone needs to lead their hopes and dreams to reality and beyond! We just experienced a wedding weekend that only plays out in fairytales. All weekend everyone kept commenting how calm the Bride and MOB were and the only answer we had was that Blake and Francesca had taken care of it all and us! There was not one detail they hadn't covered with us along the way. Having a daughter who was born and raised in Charleston, we were not technically hosting a destination wedding, but with the bride and groom and 22 of the 24 wedding attendants and the majority of the guests all traveling from various locations, we knew we needed a team that would help orchestrate every last detail and then some. From the moment we talked to the Pure Luxe girls on the phone, we felt they immediately grasped our vision and led us on the most fun journey. For the next 14 months we did not have to stress about a thing. They gave us a timeline and more encouragement and joy than I can express. Every decision that needed to be made came with them listening carefully to our daughter's hopes and dreams and then guiding us in making choices. The process was absolutely seamless and so much fun! Blake and Francesca helped us gather a team of vendors that supported and encouraged us throughout the process. The dream team, as we often called them, took care of us all on the day of wedding beyond what I hoped. The positive attitudes and joy on the job overflowed all day long. Regardless if you are local or doing a destination wedding, large event or small, the first phone call you need to make is to Pure Luxe Bride.

In a nutshell, hire Francesca and Blake. These two not only have a GREAT group of wedding professionals that they work with but they have wedding vision skills that are unmatched! I️ knew only a couple of things going into this wedding, who I️ wanted to marry, that I️ wanted exquisite flowers and where we wanted to get married. This fabulous duo took that and ran with it. They knew who I️ needed on our wedding team after short conversations and in a snap they had them booked. They hosted us for an incredibly thorough and exciting design day in their office where they brought us closer to the design and guided us on decisions that turned out INCREDIBLE. They facilitated a stress-free planning season and wedding day with smiles on their faces. I️ truly can't even put into words what it's like having them because I️ can't imagine what it would have been like without them. These two are worth their weight in gold! They are the best decision that we made for our Charleston wedding.

Francesca and Blake are the dream team of wedding planning . We found out through the venue search process that some venues required a full service planner. We didn't originally think we needed a wedding planner and were hoping to manage everything on our own but we were SO wrong. I can honestly say there is no way we could have pulled it off without Francesca and Blake. From the very beginning to the very end they were super responsive and offered incredible advice. They are also fun, kind and easy to get along with. They understood our vision and executed it PERFECTLY. They matched us with great vendors that fit our budget needs and our design desires. On the wedding day, they were a steady guide despite all of the day of excitement and stress. When my custom necklace broke as I was getting ready, Francesca ran to the nearest jewelry store to have it fixed, returned and back on my neck with time to spare before the ceremony. We already knew we had the best of the best but this further reaffirmed that Pure Luxe really goes the extra mile to make sure your special day is truly the best day of your life.

Words cannot express how happy I am that we decided to hire pure luxe bride to handle all of the planning & arrangements for our secret elopement, especially since we were coming in from Canada and knew nothing of the area or vendors. Their styled elopement package was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. I've seen too many friends deal with all the stresses of coordinating vendors but working with Pure Luxe, we did not have any of that. Francesca & Blake arranged everything so quickly after we booked. Every detail was perfection and they nailed exactly what I wanted my elopement to look like. They even had the cutest little matching floral collar arrangement for our yorkie Winston and it was the most adorable thing ever. Their hotel and dinner recommendations were spot on to what we wanted. All we had to do was show up and this was the easiest and most intimate and stunning day for our elopement. Thank you Francesca & Blake for everything, it was the perfect day.

We can’t express what a pleasure it was to work on our daughter’s wedding with Pure Luxe Bride. Francesca and Blake are real pros at wedding planning. From start to finish there wasn’t one detail that was missed. Being from out of town and not familiar with available venues, venders, etc., it was important to have someone that could provide that level of comfort. Francesca and Blake took that weight off our shoulders and provided us with top notch people and places. They walked our family through every step from finding the perfect wedding venue, wedding invitations, food and music, all the while keeping it within our budget! Not only are these girls great at what they do, they are fun and super easy to work with. We felt like we had known them for years. Kudos to Pure Luxe Bride!

In 2019, I contacted a few planners for our upcoming wedding in Charleston. After having my first conversation with Francesca, I just knew Pure Luxe Bride would be the perfect fit for planning our dream destination wedding. It was very important to me to have an initial connection with Pure Luxe Bride, knowing we would be working together for the next year. I had most of my meetings on zoom, but I felt like I was working with two of my long lost girlfriends. From the very start, Francesca and Blake were always upfront with me when it came to all costs with vendors for my budget. They always made me feel secure with all my decisions, even when I would change my ideas more than once. I’m a huge planner myself, where I have to do everything, but Pure luxe bride made me feel so comfortable in letting them take the reins. They guided me through every step of wedding planning with their expertise and past experience at the venue. I admired their organization, quick responses to emails, and attention to detail. I truly can't thank Francesca and Blake enough for being there for me for the two years of planning. From all the ups and downs of postponing, they always reassured me everything would be perfect. Our wedding day looked like a fairy-tale. I was beyond amazed, that I let out a OH MY GOSH STOP, when I saw all my envisions finally come to life. Francesca went above and beyond on our wedding day by making it stress free and fun. Even coming in clutch when my bustle kept breaking. Don’t miss out on hiring this DREAM team to make your wedding dreams happen!

I am so thankful for Pure Luxe Bride and their expertise and guidance during our wedding planning process. Francesca and Blake are truly a dream team and helped us to bring our wedding vision to life. From day one they helped us jump feet first into a seamless planning process. Their efficiency in tackling every detail made me feel very confident as we moved toward wedding day. They have a phenomenal network of vendors and are extremely well versed in the Charleston area, allowing the day to come together perfectly. I admired their organization, quick responses to emails, and attention to detail—all things that were super important to me when choosing wedding planners. We planned our wedding from a different state and in the midst of a pandemic, and we never once had any doubts during the planning process. When we arrived for wedding weekend we didn’t have to think about a thing. Everything came together just as we planned and was even more incredible than we could have imagined. Thanks to Pure Luxe Bride, we were able to be fully present during every moment of our weekend, which meant the world to us. Francesca and Blake handled wedding day flawlessly and made sure everything ran according to their very detailed schedule. Overall, I highly recommend Pure Luxe Bride—you will have two extraordinary people guiding you through the wedding planning process, and you will have an unforgettable, perfect wedding day!

We used the PLB duo to help plan my daughter's wedding in Charleston. We do not live in Charleston and could never have planned an event of this magnitude without their expertise, guidance, and attention to detail. The ladies provided us with constant communication through both emails, phone calls and an online portal that listed budget, guests, seating, timeline and so much more. The wedding day was everything we dreamed of and exceeded our expectations. All the vendors they recommended were fabulous! My husband, daughter, son-in-law, and I had to worry about nothing on the wedding day....the ladies were there every step of the way and made sure the day/night was perfect. I can truly attest to their professionalism and creativity. They are so much fun to work with....they made the whole process seamless. I am so grateful for their amazing work!!

I can't even begin to describe how amazing Blake and Francesca are. There is no way I would've been able to pull off my dream wedding without them. Having a wedding planner in Charleston is a must, and hiring Pure Luxe Bride was the best wedding decision I made throughout the whole process. I never felt worried I was missing something or things were falling through the cracks because they were always 10 steps ahead. Worth every penny!!

Words cannot describe the PHENOMENAL experience that I had with Pure Luxe Bride. The word PHENOMENAL is a complete understatement in terms of my wedding day and how Francesca and Blake worked with me to plan the wedding of my dreams! These two women are so INCREDIBLE at what they do and they completely surpassed any expectation that I had for my wedding. From the moment I became engaged I always new I wanted a destination wedding in Charleston. I began researching venues and wedding planners in the summer of 2019 and from the first conversation I had with Prue Luxe Bride (PLB) they were always willing to do two things. One, plan my vision of my perfect wedding and two, they were always very real with me when it came to costs/time/vendors, etc., to make my vision happen. I knew after that first phone conversation in 2019 and that I needed to go to Charleston to meet the rest of PLB. After meeting with Blake in-person , I felt that the entire PLB team understood me, my husband and what we were was going for in terms of the look and feel of our wedding. I was so impressed by PLB that I didn't leave Charleston without hiring them as my wedding planners! Over the next year PLB guided me through the process of picking all my vendors, which was the easiest thing in the world. Both Francesca and Blake knew who I was as a bride and paired me with all the right people. When I was torn between two vendors, they were instrumental in helping me get to the place where I could confidently pick one. Fortunately, PLB kept me on track in 2019 and had me select all of my vendors well in advance of the Pandemic. Knowing that we had all the major components of the wedding locked in allowed me to be confident that our wedding would continue as planned for April 2021. As we all began adjusting to the new normal and seeing weddings get rescheduled or go on with restrictions in place, PLB was always in constant communication with me on major updates and how weddings were happening in Charleston during this time. If there's one thing I can say about Francesca and Blake is that they were always there to reassure me throughout the two years we spent planning my wedding. They always made me feel so secure in every decision that was made and how we moved forward to the wedding day. I truly can't thank them enough for being there for me. When any type of question or anxiety arose I could always get in touch with them and they always had an answer. It was such a relief to have PLB's expertise with me every step of the way. They do not ever let you feel like you are alone in planning your wedding or even the week of your wedding. They truly handle every facet of it and are so on top of everything including the weather! The day of my wedding I was completely carefree because I knew I had the two best people making sure everything was running seamlessly. I love Francesca and Blake (they have the best energy!) so much that I wanted them to hang out with me and my bridesmaids when we were getting ready, but I knew they had a few other things going on that day! They created and brought to life the most perfect day I could ever imagine and I don't think I will ever stop smiling from how amazing of a job they did. They truly surpass being PHENOMENAL at what they do. I can't say enough wonderful things about PLB and how special they made my husband and I feel.

Francesca and Blake went above and beyond for us since day one. They are kind, knowledgable and made wedding planning a breeze! I did a styled elopement with 18 guests and they made it every bit as wonderful and magical as I dreamed! They work with the best vendors in town and know the ins and outs of planning and coordinating your big day! I was nervous going into wedding planning because I have a very strong "Type A" personality. I want everything to be perfect and want to know what's going on at all times. They embraced this and made me feel comfortable and confident in my decisions throughout the entire process. They answered every question (there were a lot) in a matter of minutes. The day was perfect, they are perfect and I highly suggest including them in your budget. They were the best investment we made on our big day! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making the day exactly what we envisioned!

Blake and Francesca were such an amazing part of making our wedding perfect! From having the best vendor recommendations to checking on us as the newly married couple throughout the wedding night, they were the best decision we made about our wedding prep process. They always had recommendations for the big item questions we had and automatically knew about fixing small issues before they became apparent. They are also reasonable and flexible with last minute changes and small things that feel bit things at that given moment. Definitely would choose them again in a heartbeat!

Your wedding planner is going to be the most important decision you will make for your wedding. It will set the whole tone of the event and can either really help or cause more stress. That being said, hire Francesca and Blake. We worked with them for all of our wedding events including the rehearsal brunch, welcome party, ceremony and reception and everything went perfectly because of Francesca and Blake's expertise and attention to detail. From the beginning, they answered every email from me within hours and more often than not, they would take care of things or get the ball rolling with vendors before I had even thought about it so when it came time to making a decision all I had to do was look at the details they sent over and say "sounds great". Most importantly, they took the time to know my husband and I as people and learned our likes and dislikes which they could then carry over into the wedding weekend so it felt like it was truly our weekend and so specific to us as a couple. They made the whole process so simple, I never felt stressed in the year planning, even when people backed out at the last minute due to COVID or the weather dropped by 10 degrees and we had to add heaters and blankets. By hiring Francesca and Blake you have the whole network they have created in Charleston and beyond behind them so you have unparalleled access to everything you never even knew you needed for a wedding. Everyone at our wedding commented on how spectacular it was and how amazing all the little details were - which was all due to the Pure Luxe team. I know its so hard to go based on reviews for such a big decision, but trust me you will NOT be disappointed. They are an amazing team that exceeded our expectations every step of the way!

How do I put into words how special these two women are? They are simply indescribable. On March 18, 2020 my wedding was canceled with a few days notice. They handled this news with poise and grace. This was not the outcome we hoped for, but in a way a true blessing because we were able to re-do the event knowing how to be as safe as possible in the new year. Now one year later we have successfully throw a 100 person wedding without a single person being sick. This is due to the detail and immense planning for a new-socially distanced event. Beyond the COVID success, I am so grateful to have Francesca and Blake as friends - the additional year of planning was met with so much laughter and bonding, that it makes me all the more grateful I chose them from the start. It was fate. For those considering Pure Luxe Bride as their planners; Look no further, Francesca and Blake handled every single detail and were the organized and caring partners I needed during these times. I could cry thinking about how special my day was. The wedding and reception were utterly dreamlike - a complete fairy tale. If I were you, I would suggest giving them some inspiration and then letting them flourish. They are truly experts who not only know and respect you as a couple, but bring together amazing ideas that will set your wedding a part. I let them do their thing and the entire room was in tears. Complete perfection. My wedding day was the best day of my life - this is 100% due to them making it happen. The dream team. Made all of my ideas a complete reality in an uncertain environment - if that does not sell you... nothing will :)

I really don't have enough amazing things to say about Pure Luxe Bride! Blake and Francesca crafted the most beautiful outdoor wedding for us at Lowndes Grove. Every small detail about the day was perfect and we owe it all to this fabulous duo! They have great relationships with all the local vendors, which made the process easy and comfortable for us. We knew that if something didn't go as planned, they would have our back and that's really what you need in a wedding planner. Thank you so much, Blake and Francesca, for your professionalism and compassion throughout this entire process. If you're looking to plan a wedding in Charleston, Pure Luxe is the way to go!

Wow!!! Pure Luxe knocked it out of the park!!! My daughter's wedding day was absolutely perfect, and we could not have done it without Pure Luxe!! From our very first meeting to gathering up all of our belongings at the end of the wedding, they took care of everything we needed and everything we didn't even know we needed. We were able to have as much fun as the guests because Blake and Francesca kept everything moving and on time, all the while making sure Hannah and Justin had food and drink at all times. I highly recommend hiring Pure Luxe to make your wedding day as perfect as you envisioned. They have you covered - they know all of the vendors, they know all of the wedding sites, they easily secure all of the rental items. But the best is how wonderful they are!!! Blake and Francesca are so fun, easy to work with, highly efficient and a very calming presence on a highly emotional day!! Pure Luxe - We love you!!!!

The best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Blake and Francesca with Pure Luxe Bride to be our planners. The are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and have amazing taste. They truly pay attention to every single detail and there is not a problem that they don’t have a solution for. Whether it was a 10 month postponement due to COVID or a last minute need for some deodorant and a bandaid before I walked down the aisle, they had it covered! They made this process so much fun and my wedding day was even more incredible and beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I cannot recommend these ladies enough and am honestly going to miss working with them! Thank you guys so much for everything. And to all the future brides out there, do yourself a favor and hire pure luxe bride to make your wedding day absolutely flawless!!!!

My husband and I always talked about eloping before the pandemic even hit. When we started planning we were originally planning on going to Asheville. Nothing would work out. I knew it shouldn’t be this stressful or complicated to elope. I remembered following Pure Luxe on Pinterest two years ago. They inspired us to elope to start with, so on a whim I gave them a call to see if they could help me. Francesca was sent from above. Within one week everything was booked and planned. All the vendors she recommended were extremely professional and eased any worry I had about choosing them without meeting them. When wedding day came everything was PERFECT, DREAMY, and seemed like something straight out of a book. Do yourself a favor and hire Pure Luxe. Your wedding day will be stress free and more than you could hope for!
