Your wedding journey isn’t just your big moment—it’s your mother’s too. Weddings are more than one-day events—they’re deeply personal stories woven with emotion, tradition, and family. And for many brides, there’s no greater partner in planning than their mother. That’s exactly the case for Avery Green, who planned her April wedding alongside her mom, Delia Jeffcoat—who just happens to be a seasoned wedding planner and founder of Delia Jeffcoat Events.
In the latest episode of the Bridal Club™ Podcast, Andrea Cole sits down with this inspiring mother-daughter duo to share the behind-the-scenes of planning a wedding that was as heartfelt as it was beautiful.
A Leap of Faith: How Delia Jeffcoat Events Began
Delia’s journey into event planning wasn’t always part of the plan. After spending 25 years in the dental field, she found herself at a crossroads during the pandemic. What started as a personal pivot became a professional calling.
“God made it clear that this was the new path I needed to go down. We hit the ground running and have been running ever since.”
Delia’s new business venture quickly became a success, rooted in her passion for celebrating life's milestones. But she never imagined that just a few years later, she’d be planning the most important wedding of her life—her daughter’s.
A Bride’s Perspective: Planning with Mom
Planning a wedding with your mom is a special experience—one Avery cherishes deeply.
“The day was magical and unforgettable. Having someone like my mom made the planning process so much easier. She knew exactly what to do, but she also made space for me to figure out what made my wedding special.”
Wearing Two Hats: Mother and Wedding Planner
For Delia, the most important role she played wasn’t as the planner—but as the mom.
“What we need to do as mothers is listen to our daughters,” she said. “It’s hard to give up that control, but it’s her day. She deserves that.”
In between the logistics of wedding planning, Delia had to balance being both a professional planner and a supportive mother. She guided Avery through every detail of the process but knew when to step back and let her daughter take the lead on decisions that were close to her heart. It was a delicate dance, but one Delia approached with grace, knowing that her role as a mother was the most important one.
Preserving the Moment: Bouquet Preservation
For Avery and Delia, flower preservation added another layer of emotion to the wedding. Avery received her preserved bouquet as a gift from her mom, and it now lives in her home as a timeless reminder of that magical day.
Delia, who carried lily of the valley (a flower that holds deep symbolism), also chose to preserve her bouquet.
What’s Next for Delia Jeffcoat Events?
As Delia celebrates five years in business, she’s not slowing down. Big things are coming in 2025, including an exciting rebrand, corporate event expansion, and the addition of Avery to the team in a new coordination role.
For Delia, her business is more than just a career—it’s an extension of her family and the values she holds dear. Bringing Avery onto the team represents the merging of both worlds: the personal and the professional. As they continue to grow and create unforgettable wedding experiences, their bond will remain the heart and soul of Delia Jeffcoat Events.
