I LOVE INTERIOR DECORATING & SHOPPING FOR MY HOUSE
Tatiana was introduced to the wedding planning industry by Hermela. Because of her organization skills, she served as the day of coordinator on Hermela’s wedding day. From there, she started working with Behind the Design on wedding days as an extra set of hands. That’s when Tatiana discovered wedding planning was a passion of hers. She began inquiring about the process from start to finish and took careful notes. Tatiana learned table design, set up logistics, and so much more working under Hermela.
Tatiana is meticulous, reliable, and has a great modern style.
I love shopping for new scented candles and home decor.
A lover of home decor with a passion for organization, Celia understands the importance – and impact – that details bring to a wedding. Celia has honed her skills to be a highly organized, detail-oriented planner with a passion for style and design. Celia enjoys working with the Behind the Design team and their brides to create the perfect day.
When she’s not in the office tackling logistics for upcoming events, or on site for a wedding, Celia is hanging out with her husband, having a dance battle with her daughter (her daughter wins all the time). We all know Celia can’t dance.
