I'm looking to partner with a wedding planner/wedding coordinator/venue. I own a boutique catering and events company (small but precious) and would like to expand my wedding business. I can offer anyone interested incentives. I'm located…

Excellent way of marketing. There is nothing like putting a face behind the voice or in these days behind the emails.

I have many brides come to me with images of gowns they have seen. Even with them in it! However, I always say, "I don't copy" I don't think it's fair and I don't think it's professional. I know how hard people…

It doesn't bother me. I'm confident in the product that I provide. Honestly, sometimes they are just taking pictures so that that they can remember things, it might not be as bad as we think. That's the "rosey" colored…

I won't allow any pictures of anything at all. They can buy a sample, or look at pictures I have already on the web.

I agree with you. I've had several calls, but no bookings this year. But at least this year I'm getting calls. When things went south in 09, I didn't have a single call for new business. Those who were expecting to get married in 2010…

The Bride Educates the Stationer - 2010 Style

While the year is still young and I’ve only had a few consultations, I’ve certainly been learning a lot about what this years brides want in wedding stationery – at least in my general location of the world.

During a consultation this past weekend for invitations; as this bride was flipping through the pages of various albums, she piped up with one comment that really got my mind racing. Here it is, in all its brutal honesty… “You know, these are all very pretty… but, they are… Continue

At 8:44am on February 1, 2010, Michele Eddins said…: Fannie Street,
Oh, thank you so much. You've made my Monday morning. I am working with a stationery company in San Diego called Posh Paperie. (Elizabeth found me a few months ago and we've been working on a few different collaborative efforts since). Two weeks ago I sent her about a dozen samples of my work. Some were thin (in height/depth) and some were thicker. She carries a box type envelope that the invitations would be mailed in. I mention all of this to you because I would like to extend the same situation to your business as well. I appreciate the compliment and I appreciate any/all company "friendliness" as usual and I do not assume or expect you to have to take me up on my offer. Anyway, have a nice day and let me know what you think. (A side note. I took all of these wonderful pictures of the samples--and about a dozen other pieces that I've recently created and they were all double exposure problems. But Elizabeth will be taking her own pics and even blogging about them for me--so that you could get an idea of my work--for stationery). Thanks, Michele Eddins
Floral Compliments :]
