February Couple Spotlight:  Alfreda and Jarael Major!!

They share their #weddingplanning journey to their #BigDay in August, 2019.  This was a MAJOR love celebration, and they share some major TIPS on having the #BigDay of your dreams!

Thanks to Patricia Carruth owner of Your Personal Jeweler for being in the guest chair to discuss all things Wedding Jewelry!  With Valentine's Day fast approaching, this is the TIME to not only do your research but also purchase while she's offering some fantastic deals in preparation for your #BigDay!

Usually when a client decides my services are not a “fit” for her wedding, I normally don’t have any further interaction with him/her other than through social media; however, LaSonja and I already had an established connection from initially meeting at church and my knowing her husband (fiance at the time) from college, so I felt no apprehension in asking her to share her #weddingplanning that spanned almost 2 years prior to her 8/18/2018 #BigDay.  In this episode you’ll specifically hear her discuss and reflect on:

• How important it is to discern between your wedding NEEDS versus your wedding WANTS; and,
• Why you should take time to enjoy the ENGAGEMENT period; and, 
• a special shout out to some fabulous wedding vendors

In this interview Owner of the Pink Poodle Dress Lounge Raeshawn provides the following #weddingplanning “nuggets” as you prepare to shop for your #BigDay Bridal attire:

1. Shop for the #Bride’s Dress FIRST before
2. Limit the number of guests who attend your shopping experience…”the LESS, the BEST!”

And much more...

Selina Howard, Creative Director and Stylist for Vainglorious Brides started out as an event planner but soon discovered her love for working with her clients more intimately and ensuring that the most important aspect of their wedding (the dress) is exactly what they envision…”

I’m so fortunate she agreed to be in the guest chair for Episode 18 of the #podcast.  In fact, as this episode is being released she is preparing for the Grand Opening of Vainglorious Brides The Boutique in Atlanta, GA.
