Holiday 2026

Holiday 2026 | 11 Best Wedding Planning Company 2026 – Southeast USA & LUXlife Client Satisfaction Excellence Award 2026 Taking the phrase ‘custom weddings’ to a whole other level, Felicia Higdon covers everything from the planning and coordination to the flower decorations and table arrangements, making many of the pieces she uses by hand and designing the rest on the back of her expertise. Mainly working with professionals from markets like New York and Chicago, Felicia brings her entire wedding inventory to most places in the US, and will fly anywhere in the world to do a wedding. For more on the services of this custom wedding coordinator, we caught up with Felicia. A full-service wedding designer and planner specialising in bouquets and handmade table arrangements, Felicia Higdon often begins by redesigning the area in question (her design degree comes in handy here), enhancing the bride-groom table with custom pottery vases and containers that she makes herself. This is just the start, and using a comprehensive master timeline to encompass all vendors and keep the schedule of the day running smoothly, Felicia ensures every wedding is as perfect as the couple it celebrates. As Felicia’s namesake company, Designs by Felicia Higdon, suggests, she is a designer at heart, and she loves nothing more than transforming empty spaces into the very best settings for her clients. She does this with a little help from a full warehouse worth of wedding décor, which contains everything from palm trees and chandeliers to pedestals, turning any space into the ultimate luxury venue. Then there is the flower side of her business, which allows Felicia to tap into her design mindset by delivering beautiful, fully custom floral displays in the likes of handmade pottery and wooden vases, meaning the newlyweds have an eternal keepsake even after the flowers have withered away. “I love working with flowers”, she added, “and I love putting together arrangements! And now I love doing the pottery for the added custom touch that sees someone has a keepsake item that isn’t another glass vase.” Felicia strives to be a blessing to her clients through these services, as she knows first-hand the difficulties of weddings, having started in this space following her experiences with those of her own two daughters. She explained: “I knew the whole process could be done better, so, with their encouragement, I started my own business.” By doing most of the work herself, and managing the rest through her role as planner, clients only have to deal with one point of contact, and Felicia knows exactly what every client is after. “There is no other planner or coordinator that does what I do. They don’t do the flowers themselves, they don’t invest in decor, and they don’t have the talent to hand to make the pottery and huge floral displays that I do.” The ‘showstoppers’ of Felicia’s weddings are undoubtedly the custom products she delivers, and she works hard to not only deliver these, but to give every couple the fun wedding they desire and deserve. When she really ‘clicks’ with a client, which she almost always does, Felicia explained that she will jump through hoops to help them. To this end, she once did three huge weddings from start to finish within just 30 days. Whether she is flying across the world to work with a bride in the location she envisions for her dream wedding or rescuing frustrated couples from disastrous wedding planners, Felicia continues to deliver dream weddings in even the most challenging circumstances, particularly in an industry where it is hard Designs by Felicia Higdon to get on venue lists due to them instead recommending everyone from people they already know and their own employees to those offering unethical financial kickbacks. However, given her international reach, custom approach, and encompassing delivery, Felicia Higdon is continuing to foster success stories, and is she is aiming to fly out to more locations to bring the luxury weddings directly to her clients for the rest of this year and beyond. After all, there is only one wedding day, and having heard countless horror stories over the years of terrible experiences, Felicia is dedicated to remaining as hands-on as possible to ensure this never happens to her. Giving her full attention to every client so that they can enjoy their big day whilst she still carries out all of the detailed work, Felicia Higdon sets the bar for client satisfaction in the wedding planning industry, making her more than fitting of being recognised with two awards in this feature.
