Founder + Creator
Many years ago, Blair declared… “Everyone deserves great wedding advice - even if they can’t afford a full service wedding planner!” And so began the eventual creation of The Wedding Shortcut. A deep-dive resource for clients of ALL budgets to plan their dream wedding on their own time, at their own pace, with expert advice.

Marketing DirectorDirector of all things creative, branded, and essential around The Wedding Shortcut (and BW Studio, for that matter). Elly provides the practical “HOW TO” to Blair’s constant (and existential) “WHAT’S NEXT”?
Together they have created dozens of tangible tools, resources, and documents for couples to plan their big day! If it looks lovely, it’s because Elly had her hands in it!!

Chief Happiness OfficerNeva is the go-to gal to make sure all of these wild ideas actually make sense! Someone has to read through these tools, implement them in the day to day event planning, and make sure they are practical enough for clients to use!! And we are so glad she does.

Morning Concierge-GuruIf you work personally with BW Studio, you’ll see Angelena bright and early - with a smile on her face! She’s the one chasing down trolley schedules and making sure everyone gets to the ceremony on time… but most importantly, she makes sure no detail is left behind. We genuinely couldn’t do it without her!
