One of the things I love most about my job is the relationships. Typically, I’m hired pretty early on in the wedding planning process, so my clients get to know me on both a personal and professional level and vice versa. Planning a wedding is inherantly personal, and these great relationships keep growing even after the wedding is over. Like I said, it’s one of the main reasons why I love what I do.
Case in point: One of my clients sent me this link this morning to a super sassy DIY wedding idea. I absolutely loved it and couldn’t stop laughing at the concept, which the bride of course predicted.
It’s from the delightful Fig and Plum blog: DIY Bride and Groom face Coasters. A little strange, yes, but I appreciate the originality and out-of-the-box-ness of the approach.
I think it’s just enough hippy kitsch cute – how’s that for a description?; plus, it’s beyond crafty and personal. What do you think?
p.s. In case you were wondering, the blog editor is NOT from Seattle, but her amazing wedding photographer is, so the Seatle-creativity theory continues. Seriously, what do they put in the water up there??

















Laura, I SO love how you find such quirky details, and draw clients that are into such uniqueness. You are so inspiring! I knew from day one we were on the same page- loving what we do because of the people we get to know. I am so sad I am not in Rochester anymore to have the chance to work with you- but who knows what doors may open— perhaps I will be back to shoot a wedding in the Roc that you are working! Best wishes & hugs!!!
Thanks, Jenn. I totally agree. I will miss you so much here in Rochester, but perhaps a destination European wedding is in our future?!?!? Best wishes and Happy Holidays xoxo.
