A Bride's Night {Raw Elegance}


Last Spring some vendors collaborated (courtesy of Motley Mélange), and hosted an evening for brides to attend with their fiancées or girlfriends. As wedding planning can be overwhelming, we wanted it to be a night where they could relax, have some great food, and sip a cocktail... along with chatting to vendors in order to get ideas for their wedding, advice, or be exposed to other resources. The night was a great idea and a hit amongst brides and vendors alike. What I didn't anticipate is forging lasting working relationships as well as friendships. I'm so glad I was a part of this fun and eventful evening. Sometimes working for yourself, and as a one person show, it is easy to forget how great feeling part of a team can be!

A tip for ALL brides out there... you really do want your vendors to be able to work well with each other. If they are able to collaborate, work as a team, and bounce ideas off of one and other, your wedding WILL have details to AMAZE!!

A special thank you to my long lost soul sister, Kori Biller, of Motley Mélange (wedding photographer extraordinaire) for hosting this event at her home, and helping to bring all of the vendors together. You are so talented and creative. It is super fun getting to work with you, and I love the way you tell the story of love!

Since this night, I have had the pleasure of working with each of these vendors (multiple times), and I am SO glad I found each of you!
