Bridevine & Branches

Ever plan a stunningly beautiful and intimate wedding ceremony at a historical villa in Hudson Valley, New York in just three weeks??? I thought not. But call it love or call it craziness, last October, that’s exactly what me and my hubby decided to do. And we simply could not have pulled off such an INCREDIBLE wedding in that time without BridevineandBranches! We wanted top of the line wedding planning and floral design to avoid wedding headaches, and we so got it.
For starters, my hubby and I are not planners, both of us hate shopping and decorating, and event logistics are not our forte. I love that Jelena LISTENED carefully to our vision for our wedding and then built on that with some creative suggestions, instead of trying to promote some cookie-​cutter ceremony like so many in the wedding industry do. We wanted a simple, rustic, outdoor, autumn ceremony that was intimate and meaningful, even if we did only have three weeks to plan. I’m telling you, Jelena worked tirelessly to make that happen.
Our wedding day was exactly what we wanted it to be. Jelena designed the most BEAUTIFUL autumn bouquets, boutonnieres, and rustic farm table arrangements that went perfectly with the setting and the bridesmaids’ dresses. She also dealt with all of the vendors (caterers, photogs, DJ, etc) and their contracts, leading up to, and on the day of the wedding – a real relief for us. After discovering that our first selected caterer was overcharging us and being less than professional, within a few days Jelena found a new caterer that came up with such a yummy harvest menu and gave us so much more service and food for our money. When we wanted farm tables, she called the furniture supply place herself to double check that they were holding them for the caterer. On the day of, she also made sure that the photographers and DJ were ON POINT with their pic and music selections. Jelena’s dedication to making our wedding the best, and driving hard bargains to get us the best deal for our money was just awesome. On top of it all, she’s fun and warm, and involved with the guests.
I repeat –beautiful wedding in three weeks people with super-​professional wedding planning and floral designing! If you want your wedding to go smoothly, I highly recommend!

My Brother and his bride used Bridevine & Branches for their out of state wedding. Jelena listened to the style that they were looking for, and helped to choose the perfect flowers for the wedding & location. The flowers chosen for the tables and wedding party were beautiful. She is very knowledgeable and can answer any questions you may have and make recommendations according to your unique wedding style. I will highly recommend her to others!

I was a bridesmaid in a NYC wedding in October of this year and was very delighted with the flower arrangements, the flow, and the organization of the wedding which Jelena ASTONISHINGLY pulled off planning, organizing, and executing all vendors and contracts in less than a 3month notice!!! I am now contracting Bride Vine and Branches to do my wedding planning & flower décor for my ceremony scheduled for July of 2015!

It has been an absolute pleasure to have worked with Bridevine & Branches for our Valentines Day wedding. The first time I have met Jelena Crone at a Bridal Show, I knew I had to hire her. Not only does she have great customer service, she listens well to what you are looking for and have some great suggestions.
Her work speaks for itself and pays attention to detail. I had a vision for our wedding and she executed it well beyond my expectations. All the guests including myself were very impressed. People are still talking about it and asking for her contact info!!! Jelena is always prompt at responding to my calls and emails. As a Bride, I was already overwhelmed and she rest assured me that it will look amazing and it was. She suggested the right flowers since roses were going to be triple the price on Valentines Day. I love love them all!!! She went above and beyond and made the center pieces look so beautiful, everyone were taking 2 or 3 at the end of the night.
I highly recommend Jelena Crone of Bridevine & Branches for your next event or your wedding. She is so easy to talk to and she will put your vision into reality. I can’t wait for our next event so I can hire her again.
Caleb and I thank you so much for being a part of our amazing wedding.

Pageo Lavender Farm recommended Jelena Crone/​Bridevine and Branches for a wedding planner. She was very responsive to us and provided the creativity and beauty we were seeking for our wedding. She is outstanding at designing/​creating the perfect setting! Words cannot convey how beautifully our venue was set up. Many fine touches. She does the flowers herself and they were breathtaking!!!
The first wedding invitation she showed us was the one we loved — that took about 3 minutes to decide and she brought volumes of books to select from. She knew what we would love.
Her recommendations for accompanying vendors were superb. The photographer (Carolyn Welch Photography), the Vintage Rental Company for tables, place settings, vases, vintage doors for altar, etc., all were perfect for the Pageo Lavender Farm setting. We didn’t think we needed a DJ and set that up rather late in the planning and we are so glad we did, Michael Hernandez, No Limits Disc Jockey Service, was also amazing.
She was there all along the journey to the aisle and she had so many great recommendations and is truly a creatively talented individual. Tiny in stature, but mighty in performance!

My husband and I attended a wedding at Pageo Farms in Turlock yesterday. Jelena, owner of Bridevine & Branches, was their decorator and planner. Everything was absolutely lovely, the details were amazing. I am a fussy, detail-​oriented person and I went to her and told her how terrific everything looked and how well the event ran for all the guests. I would highly recommend Bridevine & Branches to anyone coordinating a special event and wanting to have it run perfectly and look amazing! Thanks for making Don & Beverley’s wedding extra-​special.
