Hiiii, if we haven’t met yet - 👋🏽 I’m Yolonda, Owner - lead planner and designer for TEAM @byloveevents .. not normally an intro kind of girl but new headshots from @samiroyphoto say otherwise.

I’ve been a planner for 8 years, full time entrepreneur for 5 - and to know me is to know:

✨ I’m obsessed with all things space - my biggest regret is not becoming an astronaut …seriously lol… (accepting Blue Origin sponsorships and NASA Events 👀) 💙

✨ Prosecco, Champagne, Rose Me - Basically bubbles every time.

✨ I thrive best when fueled with iced lattes and Thai food.

✨A wedding day coca-cola is a requirement (my team makes sure they’re ready 😅😂)

✨My favorite color is purple but I wear the color green more than anything

✨Last & most importantly, I serve the BEST clients and couples throughout Coastal Virginia, Richmond, and anywhere you fly me out to 😉

Don’t be a stranger, say Hi when you see me. ✨

that started with the details ✨

Very excited to reveal this concept. Thank you to TEAM BLE and our participating vendors for making sure this was unforgettable.

This editorial was the epitome of drama and what BLE can do when creativity lies in our hands. No detail was left behind and a NEW partnership was born. #staytuned

A little BTS of a recent baby shower setup. No matter how big or intimate an event is, we prioritize the same level of consistency and detail #thestandard 💜🦋

The family prioritized keeping it “simple” for this shower and we did just that. It was such a beautiful day and another beautiful moment to witness.. 💜🫶🏽

Moments from E + D’s wedding day 😍. It was a classic celebration …yet undeniably theirs. Full of intentionality, details, and beautiful memories.

Gentle reminder..

the spacing of your ceremony seating is just as valuable as the design of your ceremony altar 💜

My favorite time of year 😍

Starting our summer off with color of course @embellished_details 💜.

Loved designing for A&W. A wedding day full of personality, truly brought NOLA to the 757

"The best to ever do it." 💜

When a couple comes in with extremely high expectations, we don't lower them — we rise to meet them. Alison & Jaivon's wedding at Main Street Station was a beautiful example of every detail, handled.

Still thankful for their trust. This is the BLE standard. Every time.

Hiring By Love Events & Design includes more than you think.

It includes a team that feels the weight of your day just as much as you do. 💜

That's me (& TEAM BLE) in the background — right where I tend to be. Not in the moment, but holding it and making sure my girl get's exactly what she wanted!

I can't even begin to tell you how many ideas @a_giselle_ had for her wedding day — because it was A LOT, lol. Just know I was down to ride every step of the way.

And a huge part of executing ideas is making sure they're done correctly. It wasn't enough to have a choir — we were inside a ginormous restored train shed, and the worst thing we could do is bring in a gospel choir and let bad sound swallow it. So we got the sound right, too.

Alison & Jaivon met at VSU. It's where their story started — so this choir, this song, this walk had to live inside their day. One of the biggest reasons they wanted to marry exactly the way they did.

You won't always see us in the photos. But we're there — feeling every second of it right alongside you. 💜
