Meet Emily

Meet the Magic Maker Behind the Scenes: Emily Rust ✨

At Storybook Love Events, we truly believe that every love story deserves a thoughtful, seamless, and joy-filled celebration. While you may see the polished details and perfectly timed moments, there’s always a calm, capable presence working quietly behind the scenes to make it all happen.

Today, we’re introducing you to one of those incredible humans—Emily Rust, our Assistant Planner (and, as we like to say… Jenny’s brain 😉).

The Heart Behind the Headset

Emily has been part of the wedding and events world for five years, bringing a steady, grounded presence to every celebration she touches. Her approach? A beautiful blend of logic, practicality, and vision—the kind of balance that keeps wedding days running smoothly while still honoring every dreamy detail.

She’s not the loudest voice in the room—but she is the one making sure everything is exactly where it should be (including those perfectly aligned ceremony chairs… yes, she notices 👀).

The Moment That Gets Her Every Time

While there are so many meaningful moments woven into a wedding day, Emily’s favorite is simple and powerful:

When the bride walks down the aisle.

It’s that pause in time—the deep breath before forever begins—that never gets old.

And if you catch her tearing up later in the evening? It’s probably during the father-daughter dance. 💛

The Secret to a Stress-Free Wedding Day

If there’s one thing couples might not realize, it’s just how much Emily is doing without them ever knowing.

She describes her role as being the “buffer between vision and reality”—handling hiccups, solving problems, and keeping everything aligned so couples can stay fully present in their joy.

In other words?
She’s protecting your peace all day long.

Emily, Off the Timeline

When she’s not managing timelines and perfecting details, Emily keeps things simple and sweet.

• ☕ Go-to drink: Whatever Jenny’s having… or a caramel coffee (with a bubbler on standby!)
• 📝 Three words: Organized. Quiet. Adventurous.
• 💕 Instant mood boost: The SBLE team
• 🎒 Emergency kit must-haves: Mouthwash, safety pins, fashion tape, tissues

And on her days off? You’ll likely find her making memories with her kiddo at the zoo—because at the end of the day, she’s all about meaningful moments, both big and small.

Her Advice to Engaged Couples

Emily keeps it short, sweet, and very real:

Hire a wedding planner or day-of coordinator.

(We might be biased… but she’s not wrong 😉)

The Little Things That Make a Big Impact

Emily has an eye for detail in the most subtle ways—like ensuring every chair is perfectly lined up at a table. It’s these small, intentional touches that elevate a wedding from beautiful to effortless.

And when it comes to trends she’s loving right now?

✨ Greenery wrapped around candles—romantic, timeless, and just the right amount of magic.

A Wedding Moment She’ll Never Forget

Every planner has that one moment…

For Emily, it was the first time she saw an entire group on the dance floor drop their trousers to “Piano Man.”

Proof that no matter how elegant the day begins, the dance floor always writes its own story. 🎶

The Story Behind the Story

Emily’s journey into weddings started the way so many love stories do—with her own. After planning her wedding and becoming the go-to planner among friends and family, she realized this wasn’t just something she was good at… it was something she loved.

And now, she brings that same care, intention, and behind-the-scenes magic to every Storybook Love couple.

And with Emily on your team, it feels calm, cared for, and completely unforgettable.
