I have been traveling a bit more than usual these past few weeks. I am meeting with more and more brides, want to be wedding-planners, venues, vendors, and doing walk-thru's to get ready for the upcoming bridal shows that WeddingsinIowa.com hosts. All in all, I have been extremely busy.
Many people ask me what exactly is it that I do? My reply? Anything and everything I can to get the word out about having an elegant and gracious wedding. "But I don't want a fancy wedding!" I didn't say fancy---I said elegant and gracious. One doesn't necessarily mean the other. Being elegant is a state of mind--minding the details for the comfort and enjoyment of the guests that you are inviting to help you celebrate this wonderful day you are planning. Gracious mean that you thank your guests for coming; for taking time away from their busy schedules to be with you on your wedding day. For spending their effort and time and money to help you celebrate.
I visit venues to make sure that I know where brides and grooms can host their weddings. I visit with vendors so that I can pair vendors and wedding couples to create the perfect match for their likes and dislikes. I travel all over Iowa so that I can meet brides and grooms where they are to help them plan and execute a perfect day (in so much as is within my power to do so). I travel so much so that I can educate Iowa couples that weddings can be elegant and beautiful, not a whatever-let's-get-drunk-fest that so many of them have resorted to.
In short, I am busy. My mission is clear; the work is fueled by my passion to succeed and my drive is clear---Iowa is a wonderful state to get married in!
