Founder, Principal Planner & Creative Director

"My daughters are my Flying Little Birds, my daily inspiration. I want them to fly high in their lives."

Hi! I’m Carol Guedes, the principal planner and creative mind behind FLYING LITTLE BIRDS.
Originally from Brazil, I’ve studied and worked in Europe and since 2005 I have called Brooklyn Heights my home, where I am raising my family and fulfilling my dream life.

Over 10 years ago I merged my extensive corporate planning experience with my passion for design and founded Flying Little Birds: A Wedding Planning & Design firm based in the heart of New York City. Since then, I had the privilege and honor to be trusted with planning, designing and executing one of the most important days of my clients’ lives.

My passage through the Parson School of Design and broad exposure to cultures and languages opened me to many design possibilities. It facilitates my connection with my clients, which allows me to build their stories through bespoke designs and authentic experiences.

I am so thrilled that today I get to spend every single day doing what I love most – working with life celebrations! It’s a personal passion, commitment, and respect for celebrating life through creating intentional and thoughtful celebrations.

And you may be wondering the reason behind this name, Flying Little Birds? Well, my daughters are my daily inspiration, and I want them to fly high in their lives. I call them my Flying Little Birds! Just as I want my daughters to take flight into their lives, I see your wedding planning journey reflecting your soaring dreams as a couple as you embark on a lifelong journey together.

I am inspired by my couples, connecting with new cultures and people, intrinsic designs and artwork, family moments, the infinite view of the ocean, and, of course, the streets of NYC!

KIND WORDS

"Carol managed to take what could have been a hectic day and turned it into a beautiful, flowing event that we will cherish forever. Carol was more than a planner; she was a dreammaker. Her blend of efficiency, creativity, and warmth made our wedding a breathtakingly beautiful and stress-free event. We cannot recommend her highly enough!"
