Monique Moments: Plan Intuitively, Celebrate Creatively, Cherish Every Moment

At Monique Moments, our mission is simple: to empower couples with the knowledge and confidence to plan intuitively, celebrate creatively, and cherish every moment of their wedding journey. We believe that unforgettable weddings start not with rigid checklists but with understanding the fundamentals—the elements that make celebrations meaningful and memories last a lifetime. Whether you’re envisioning a rustic barn wedding, a chic city affair, a destination elopement, or a traditional church ceremony, we’ll guide you through the “why” as much as the “how-to.”

Our Story

This labor of love and romance was co-founded by two seasoned wedding enthusiasts, Monique Dubois and Ava Patel, whose decades of combined experience in the wedding industry have been shaped by their shared philosophy: wedding planning should be both joyful and enlightening. After transitioning from careers as a wedding planner and a floral designer respectively, they found themselves reigniting their lifelong passion for all things weddings—and decided to share it with others who crave deeper connections to their special day and the meaning behind each element.

Monique brings her French romanticism and an eye for elegant details to Monique Moments, while Ava infuses her Indian heritage and a love for vibrant colors and personalized touches into every planning guide and inspiration board. Together, they’ve explored wedding traditions around the world (both literally and figuratively) to curate a collection of ideas and advice that span cultures, styles, and budgets—all united by timeless principles of meaningful celebration.

Why we started Monique Moments

Unlike many wedding blogs, we go beyond just providing vendor lists and timelines. Yes, we offer stunning inspiration and practical tips for every aspect of wedding planning, but we also dive deep into the why behind each decision. Why does thoughtful guest experience matter? How does lighting create atmosphere? When does personalization make a wedding unique? And how can focusing on the emotional core transform a wedding from an event to a cherished memory? By mastering these elements, you’ll unlock endless possibilities for your own special day.

We celebrate the beauty of imperfection and authenticity, too. Wedding planning isn’t about achieving flawless perfection—it’s about joyful collaboration, learning about each other, and savoring the journey of creating a day that truly reflects your love story. That’s why we encourage you to trust your instincts, adapt traditions to your vision, and above all, enjoy every moment of your engagement and wedding day.
