You say "I DO", and let us DO the rest!!
2020
A year to remember!!!
My 2020 wedding season is over and I'm admitting I'm in a low moment missing the smiles on a new bride and grooms face, the magical floral scent that fills my studio the week of a wedding, all the excitement that resonates from the the family, and the romance of candles at every turn. I miss it ALL!!! But if you know me a little....you know that I will always find something to be thankful for!!
So 2020 wedding season: I'm thankful for LOVE this year!! The love among couples, between myself & brides, but especially with family. I'm thankful for the extra time with them. I'm thankful for the growth & education in flexibility and change. A planner is organized and has all the boxes checked, but an artist(my other side) is free and creative. It was fun to see that side stretch and blossom even more this year! I'm thankful for my health and my families health. It's been so scary at times to be safe as possible and especially avoid getting and/or spreading anything to my husband or family after the two small events this year.
I'm thankful for grace. People make mistakes. Especially when emotions are high and crushed dreams are a reality. I'm thankful my business has survived the lowest income in my 10 years of business and that my husbands work has stayed consistent and we haven't suffered financially in spite of almost zero contribution from my business. Lastly, again I cant say it enough!! I'm so thankful for LOVE!!! It's a driving force behind what I do. It always shows itself if you have an open heart.
2020 Wedding Season will always be remembered.
A Look back at 2018!!!!
Love, Love, and more Love. That sums up 2018! The year brought on so many great memories. Every client was such a perfect match to what our company is all about. The families this year were so amazing. Yes all are, but this year we witnessed brother/sister, mother/daughter, father/son, father/daughter, sister/sister, and mother/mother- in- law bonds that went above and beyond the normal show of affection among families. We witnessed a bride enter law school, another travel over several states, and another be the second daughter in her family to hire us. It was an amazing year!! The love each and every couple had for one another was so strong and yet different . My heart was full and happy for them the entire Year.
We traveled a little bit of everywhere, from all over downtown, to the North of Indianapolis, and to Columbus.
And the DECOR, was fa-nominal!!! I challenged myself to reach higher and go above standards with every install. My staff would say with each wedding, "WOW, they just keep getting more beautiful and unique every wedding we do".
In fact, the decor and flowers part of the business had such a growth during the year, that a decision was made to add a studio and storage area on to the back of my home. We needed to do this for several years.
It had its challenges and as with all builds, it took much more money, labor, and time, then we predicted. But, Soooooo worth it!! Its so exciting to have everything I need on one floor and in one location. All that extra time can now be focused on planning and design!! I really don't know how to explain why this year was an extra ordinary year, because really every year has been a blessing, but this year, as I lay my head on my pillow at night and reflect on the past year, the memories of 2018 bring a huge smile on my face and tears of joy...or better yet memories of love, love, and more love!!
