Garland is the planning studio of Ines Barros. Full planning, partial planning, and month-of coordination, for couples who want the day to feel effortless and understand that effortless is a job.
Every decision from the first budget meeting to the last vendor payment, with Ines beside you on the day and a plan B you will never know we used.
For busy couples, out-of-town weddings, and anyone who wants one call to make instead of forty.
You have the venue and maybe the photographer. We take it from there and carry it through the day itself.
For couples who started strong six months ago and would like their momentum back.
You planned it. We land it. From six weeks out, every vendor thread moves to our inbox and stays there.
For organized couples who want their last six weeks back.
Real numbers on the first call, then the venue signed before anything else gets to be exciting.
Photographer, florist, music, catering. Booked, contracted, and talking to us, not to you.
Paper, tastings, tablescapes. The fun part stays fun because the money part is already settled.
Every vendor confirmed twice and timed to the minute. Printed copies for the people who like printed copies.
Ines carries the timeline, the tip envelopes, and the sewing kit. You carry nothing.
Most planners save the budget for week three, after you have fallen in love with something expensive. We open with it. A wedding has about forty line items, and we put every one of them in front of you, with honest local ranges, before you sign anything.
Couples tell us the spreadsheet was the moment they finally exhaled. It is not romantic. It is why everything after it gets to be.
Including the lines nobody warns you about
It rained for exactly nineteen minutes. The move to the glasshouse was so smooth that half the guests still think it was the plan.
One brief: nobody checks a clock. We set the first dance for the minute dusk turns blue, and the string lights did the rest.
A great dinner party that happened to be a wedding. Seven toasts, and the room had enough slack for every one to run long.
Ines handed us a spreadsheet on the first call and cried at the toasts fourteen months later. Both, it turns out, were exactly what we were paying for.Priya, married May 2026
Our families still talk about how calm the day felt. It was not calm. Ines kept every not-calm thing on her clipboard, where we never saw it.Theo, married last September
Ines Barros ran corporate events for eight years, planned her sister's wedding as a favor, and never took another conference.
Since 2019 she has planned some seventy weddings: gardens, lofts, a working farm, one very good tent in one very bad storm. She has handled a heat wave, a power cut, and a best man in the wrong city, and no couple found out before the honeymoon. She takes twelve weddings a year, so yours never waits behind someone else's.
She will absolutely cry during the toasts. It has never once affected the timeline.
We keep a short list of florists, photographers, bands, and bakers we would trust with our own family's weddings. You hear a name only because it is right for your day and your budget. We take no commissions and no kickbacks from anyone, ever.
Write to us with three things: your date, or the season if you are still deciding; whether you have a venue yet; and which way of working sounds like you. Ines replies within two days, and if your date is open, you will know it.
Now booking 2027, with a few month-of dates left in 2026.
