Your First Stop

Engagement is an exciting, glorious time in your life. Enjoy it! Take some time, before jumping in, (as tempting as it may be) and just BE engaged.

And then come to us.

As a bride, I made my linens, lighting, chairs and backdrop my last stop. Advice: Come here first. Why? We transform. We listen, hear what you want and help funnel it into an articulated vision of your wedding. Look, all elements of a wedding are more expensive than you think they are going to be. It's just something you'll need to except now (as well as how many ways you can be super-budget-savvy!) While there are many a budgeting tool out there, when you don't know where to start, how's that gonna help? I spent all my time finding ways to personalize my event and create the atmosphere I was looking for-- if I had realized how easily decor elements transform a room, I would have saved myself a lot of time and energy (and money!) There's a lot to be said for going to a professional. And at such an elated time in your life, there's no need to be bogged down with worrying-- there will be enough to juggle just because you're a bride!

And when it comes to the pros, they are here for you. It's your day. It's your vision. It's what you've been dreaming for, and it's about to come true! So day-dream, brainstorm with your fiance, and look to your favorite things in life to start designing your day. Write 'em down. And then contact us.

Who knew being engaged could be so fun?
