How many years have
you been in the wedding industry?
I am a
newbie :) I've been obsessed with weddings since I was a child but I
didn't officially open my shop until a year ago.
How did you get
started?
Where do you go for inspiration?
Love pinterest
and tumblr for gorgeous images for the blog but when I begin the design
process with a bride I really look to little details in her wedding.
I ask about her dress, cake, venue, etc. I think it's paramount to
creating a unique piece that truly tells a story for the couples wedding
day.
What's your signature
style?
I love vintage but I
also love mixing my traditional vintage flare with modern elements.
I think it's a perfect marriage of design :)
What’s your favorite
spot of your studio?
Since my studio is
really only my desk I would have to say that my favorite spot is right at
my mac with an espresso in hand :)
Do you have a current
favorite color palette or wedding trend?
I am really in love
with peach, coral, mint, and muted yellows. Love all the pretty
pastels this spring. 
Where do you see your
business in 5 years?
My business has grown
so much over the last year I really couldn't ask for more! I have
been truly blessed with amazing opportunities and wonderful clients but
I would love to see the ready-made line of invitations become a
staple in the wedding industry.
“I can’t live
without…” my delonghi ;) I make
a pretty amazing Americano.
