Making a stand.

For a long time now I have been striving to be the best, the most creative, original and more importantly a leader. I’m continually trying to make that happen in my locally area and now I’m going after the world. I’m also want to start teaching workshops (teamed up with an amazing photographer friend of mine) so photographers keep coming back to check for the annoucment of dates and location. These are the challenges I put on myself everyday when I wake up. Luckly I also have two people in my area who share these goals, Jaime Johnson Events and Carissa Vera with the Art of Flower. All three of us are so bored with the local weddings that we decided to step it up a notch. Our biggest issue is how do we get our brides to see our vision and allow us to create something unique for them?

Well we started with this years Bridal Festival in Spokane. We decided to have a booth and show future brides our talents and what a wedding “could” look like. Jaime’s event designs are unique to anyone in the Northwest(simply ask around). Then you add the floral design from Carissa and everything is complete!

I think our ideas are catching on as well because they are both booking like crazy for this summer. I’m just glad to be a part of this team. In the next few years to come I think everyone should keep their eyes out for these two. The ideas and designs that these two create will be gracing the covers of numerous magazines. I only hope I can make them happy enough to keep me around!
Here are some pics from the show.

Yes they did make that chandelier, cool huh? People actually asked to rent it for their wedding!

Peacock feathers were the inspiration for this theme(if you could tell).

Some ceremony details, program holder for each chair!

We also got word through the grape vine that other vendors were a little ticked off at us (I call it jealousy, which is the best form of flattery!). They were calling us spoiled rich kids and business trust funders. Borrowing money from our parents to create this “over the top booth”. To set the record straight, non of us borrowed money from our parents(kind of makes me laugh). In fact each on us paid cash for everything! I think its just a misunderstanding that these vendors have. Yes, all three of us are under 30 years old and we have a strong desire to be the leaders in the area. Yes, we act and dress successful, because in our minds we are. We are going to mix things up and challenge every other vendor to be creative as well. Competition is not a bad thing, it actually creates better services and products for our customers! So thank you to everyone that made a comment about our booth. Good or bad it’s what lights the fire within!
