A boutique planning and design agency based in Dallas and Austin, working with companies, couples and hosts who want their event to feel effortless. We plan corporate programs, weddings and social celebrations in equal measure, across Texas and worldwide.
Design decisions begin with our client's vision and the experience they want their guests to have from the moment they arrive. Every detail should bring that vision to life through thoughtful hospitality, elevated design and seamless execution.
Our vendor and venue relationships are the reason a hard ask lands as a yes, and most of our clients come back for the next one.
A celebration should look like the people hosting it. We design from your story rather than from last season.
The timeline, the floor plan and the run of show get the same attention as the florals, because that is what makes the day feel effortless.
You get a team that handles what happens behind the scenes, so your only job on the day is to be present with your people.
Founder and Event Managing Director
“We put our focus more on people than products.”
After almost a decade of advertising and launching new products in Melbourne, Australia, New York City and Texas, I wanted to take my ideas, creativity and expertise and open Poppy Planning.
At Poppy Planning we put our focus more on people than products, and what better way to do that than to plan unforgettable events. With connections across the globe curating custom destination weddings and leading events for the world's most well-known brands, I am excited to poppy the champagne and start planning!
XOXO, Emmy
Seven of us, across weddings, corporate programs and social celebrations. Whoever you work with, you get the whole team's vendor network and the same standard on the day.
