With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I wanted to take a few moments to share some things  I thankful for in relation to wedding design, coordination and management!

I am thankful for …

1. Brides who may not know exactly what they want, but know what they don’t want-
2. Caterers who are always thinking one step ahead-
3. Photographers who take the time to capture that special moment-
4. DJ’s who take requests, and play requests-
5. Wedding cakes that taste as good as they look-
6. Table cloths that arrive clean … and ironed-
7. Florists that love cuttings out of magazines from their clients -
8. Guest books without lines-
9. Favors that are editable-
10. First dances that end just before the couple is getting uncomfortable -
11. Toasts that are personal, warm the heart, and are well thought out-
12. Grooms who want to be part of the process-

On a personal note, I am very  thankful for my husband Rob, my dog Maggie, my wonderful Mother and loving family and friends!

Happy Thanksgiving!
