Ericia Hart

Owner / Certified Wedding Planner

Hi there! Now that your partner has popped the question, you’re wondering what’s next? Or is your mind racing with so many ideas? Planning a wedding is exciting for some but overwhelming for others. Planning has always been a passion for me. I’ve always enjoyed watching wedding shows such as Four Weddings, Say Yes to the Dress, and Bridezillas. While watching, I would always take note of what went well and come up with ideas on what I would do different. In 2017, I began planning my own wedding. I was inspired by the idea to help others and be an advocate for those who didn’t understand the wedding planning process. The following year I married the guy of my dreams and founded Blushing Brides.

​

So, who is Ericia? Well, I was born in New York and raised in Marion, SC. I attended the University of South Carolina (Go Gamecocks) where I  obtained a degree in Finance with a minor in Nursing. My senior year of college I became a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. A few years after graduating, I obtained my MBA with a concentration in Management. After college, I made Columbia, SC my home and worked in the banking industry for 17 years. I have now transitioned to Human Resources in the health care industry. In addition to helping couples plan their wedding; I enjoy spending late nights on Pinterest, date nights with my husband, and attending my son’s football games. Well now that you know me, I would love to get to know you.

Victoria Belton

Managing Partner / Lead Planner

Hello! I am the managing partner and lead planner with Blushing Brides Consulting Firm. I joined this partnership in 2023 and look forward to all the beautiful weddings to come!

​

So, who am I? My name is Victoria Belton, and I grew up in Fayetteville, NC as a “military brat” before moving to South Carolina prior to college. I attended The University of South Carolina in Columbia and obtained my BS degree in Statistics. I have years of experience in fields such as customer service, retail, banking, healthcare and currently work as a regulatory analyst with a utility company. I have been married to my wonderful husband since 2012. I have a handsome son and beautiful daughter. I enjoy spending time with family, being a sports and dance mom, traveling and watching movies.

​

So why wedding planning? Planning events has always been a passion of mine for years. While others shy away at the idea of event planning, I enjoy every aspect of the process. Being a part of the journey on someone’s special day is the most appealing role of a wedding planner. I love getting to know each couple individually and walking them through the process of planning a wedding that reflects their love for one another. I believe wedding planning should not be stressful, but an enjoyable experience for the couple.

​

Congratulations on your engagement! Let Blushing Brides take this journey with you towards the day you say “I Do” to your forever person!
