The Details
Every year, I like to give myself a little passion project. For me, that obviously means I go all out and throw a big party. (Obviously!) It gives me a reason to play creatively, love on past clients, and dream up something fun that women in Jacksonville actually want to show up for. This one became We Do Redo — an all-girls night out at The Lark, built around one simple idea: what if you got to redo the fun parts of a wedding?
My vision was for women to show up in their wedding dress, a thrifted dress, a borrowed dress, or any white outfit that made them feel fabulous. Married, single, divorced, engaged, never married — it didn’t matter. This was an event to celebrate ourselves, celebrate each other, stuff our faces, and dance the night away.And boy, did we!
From the second women walked in, the whole night felt like permission to be a little extra. Dresses came back out. Champagne and mocktails were poured. The room was bold, girly, and dramatic in all the right ways, with just enough wedding reception energy to make everyone feel like the night was for them.
From red velvet treats and chocolates to red wedding ring pops. Champagne towers to pizza, and even a red velvet cake. There were plenty of extra little nods to the theme...but the details were never the whole point.
The point was to design a room where girls can be girls - eat, drink, dance, and have one epic night out.
Women were posing on red velvet couches, fixing each other’s dresses, hyping each other up, taking photos under the “Endless Love” sign, eating pizza in their wedding gowns, and dancing on the black and white checkerboard dance floor like the whole point of the night was to have fun. Because it was.
Ashlyn is a wealth of knowledge and inspiration! I attended one of her girls night out events and her attention to detail and creativity shined in every way! But what matters more in every interaction I’ve had with her is her thoughtfulness and care behind every decision to make every guest have the best experience. She wants her clients to make memories that will last forever. During the planning process, she is so easy to talk to and will make you instantly feel like your friend the moment you meet her. She also offers the best suggestions and guidance. There is no other wedding or event planner in the market like her. I love Red Velvet!!! (If I could rate her more than 5 stars, I would!)
