My first Bridal Show booth!
If you’ve been following my blog, you know that this weekend I attended my first Bridal Show as a vendor! It was at the Franklin Hotel for their annual Bridal Boutique. This was an invite-only event for vendors, so it was an honor to have been chosen to participate. The Franklin Hotel is a really […]
Photoshoot with Lovebird Weddings
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting an amazingly talented new wedding photographer in town. Her name is Shaena Mallett and she heads Lovebird Wedding Photography in Chapel Hill, NC. Shaena is new to the area and ready to get her wedding photography business up and running, so she offered to take some updated photos […]

It is invite-only for the-best-of-the-best vendors, so I am honored to be one of the 24 chosen participants. This will be my first […]

Studio shoot with Kent Corley Photography
With Greta’s dress finally finished, it was time to get some photographs taken! I’m always so proud of my creations that it is hard for me to just let them go, in hopes that the wedding photographer will get good shots. Before the Final Delivery, I always take my dresses directly over to Kent Corley […]
