Meet Wedding Planner
Deidra Azam
Hi there! I'm Deidra, founder and visionary behind Blue Magnolia Weddings. My journey as a wedding planner began after planning my own wedding in 2023, when I realized how transformative it is to have someone by your side who brings calm, care, and clarity to the process. That experience inspired me to serve other couples with the same sense of support and joy so they can be fully present and truly savor every moment of their celebration.
With a background in events, planning, and project management, I bring both creativity and structure to every wedding I design. By day, I work in human resources at an insurance company, where empathy and organization guide everything I do.
I'm equal parts refined and down-to-earth, ensuring your wedding planning is handled with grace, intention, and zero stress.
Rooted in my Southern upbringing, Blue Magnolia reflects my belief that hospitality is more than good service; it’s about making people feel genuinely cared for. I see weddings as moments of connection, gratitude, and joy, and I take great pride in ensuring every detail reflects that love and warmth. If you’re dreaming of a celebration filled with meaning, beauty, and effortless grace, I’d be honored to help bring it to life.
