Welcome to the Blog!
I’ve been hard at work over the last few weeks. Okay, I’ve been hard at work since I decided to take this business dream out for a spin, but more specifically I’ve been in full-on planning mode. 2014 wedding season preparation is under way for lots of newly engaged couples, and I’ve been taking a hard look […]
