Meet Brittany Shelton of Walnut Cove, NC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittany Shelton.

Hi Brittany, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve always been drawn to sentimental and meaningful moments. I love hosting family dinners and finding ways to make even the smallest events feel special. When I had my son, each birthday became even more significant. At age two, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and that experience taught me to truly cherish the little things. I’ve always been organized and naturally a planner, but being a medical mama was an unexpected journey. Over the years, ensuring my son felt included in every special occasion opened my heart to creating memorable moments for those who face challenges. ABC Wedding Essentials, LLC was able to become a reality with the help of my partner, Cole. Together, he and I have been able to build this company and create beautiful moments. We have been in the wedding industry professionally for just over two years, and find fulfillment in bringing joy to other people’s celebrations, helping them honor their love and their families in a meaningful, lasting way

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I wouldn’t say the journey has been without its challenges. Anything worth having requires a lot of hard work. Building ABC Wedding Essentials, LLC into a brand that’s both reputable and heartfelt has meant putting in long hours and a lot of dedication, all while balancing a full-time job and caring for my son. That balance hasn’t always been easy, but it’s taught me resilience, patience, and the importance of creating moments that truly matter. Every wedding I help bring to life is a reminder that the hard work is worth it when it means making someone’s day meaningful and memorable.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I specialize in creating weddings and events that feel intimate, timeless, and deeply personal. I’m known for creating authentic, emotive moments while keeping every detail organized and intentional. Beyond planning, I’m a florist, and I’m excited to soon offer pressed flower preservation. Alongside planning, I love the aesthetics and design of bringing a wedding together. What sets me apart is my balance of practicality and sentiment. I ensure events run smoothly while honoring the meaningful moments that make a day unforgettable. I’m most proud of the trust and relationships that I’ve built with my clients and the joy of helping them create memories they and their families will remember forever.

What are your plans for the future?
I’m excited to continue growing ABC Weddings into a brand that celebrates meaningful, authentic moments for every couple. It has been so rewarding to have people recommend us and have new couples reach out requesting to book us. One of the biggest changes coming is expanding my floral offerings to include pressed flower preservation, giving clients a way to keep their bouquets as lasting, sentimental keepsakes. I’m also looking forward to exploring more creative, personalized experiences for weddings and events, helping couples tell their unique stories in thoughtful and memorable ways. My ultimate goal is to blend planning, florals, and preservation into a full-circle experience that leaves couples with beautiful memories they can treasure forever
