Wedding invitations with style!

The Knot has rounded up some trendy invitation motifs in their article, Ways to Embellish your Wedding Invitations.  I've been working with a very fun bride who has embraced 'Go Bold' in a big way!

Mary prefered a very traditional approach to her invitations, but I helped her come up with a subtle way to incorporate her silver sequins motif to make her invitations POP!

The Knot Best of Weddings

 

January 8, 2015—I am pleased to announce that I have been selected as a 2015 ­­winner in The Knot Best of Weddings, an award representing the highest-rated wedding professionals as reviewed by real couples, their families and wedding guests on The Knot.  This is the third year I have been selected for The Knot Best of Weddings. 

In 2015, only 2% of the 250,000 local wedding professionals listed on TheKnot.com have received this distinguished accolade.  The Knot Best of Weddings provides a by-couples, for-couples guide to the top wedding professionals across the country. To determine the winners, The Knot assessed a sample of almost one million real reviews across the various vendor categories—venues, musicians, florists, photographers, caterers and more—that a bride or groom would want in order to inspire, plan and pull off their own unique wedding.

The Knot Best of Weddings

What a blessing it is to have been voted one of The Knot.com Best of Wedding vendors for 2013! Many, many thanks go to all the wonderful brides I had the privilege of working with in 2012. Without your kind reviews, this would not have been possible. I've got the best job in the world, and 'my' brides make my work so fun and rewarding! Thank you!

Episode 2 quote:  Carson

Downton Abbey Quote Carson

Carson--singing as he polished the silver.  (or perhaps Cheerful Charlie?) Good news can do that to you! 

Were you as surprised as I was that Carson was a bit of a gossip and had no difficulty lying?  Still, it was my favorite moment of Episode 2, among many.
