Thank You From a Past Bride

Malissa,

As we approach wedding season I find myself comparing your work, ideas, and my wedding with every other wedding I see or hear about. And honestly, I haven't seen a thing that I wish I would have had or experienced anything I wish we would've done. Thank you so much for all your hard work and making our day so wonderful.

Chris's sister is getting married in June and we just received her invitation. As I pulled it out of the mailbox I couldn't help but think how tacky it looked to have our address merely printed on it. I am so glad you had me address all of mine personally, although I can't say I enjoyed it! Handwriting them really did give it a little something more and I feel as though it was a bit classier that way too.

When we look back on October 11, 2008 Chris and I agree that it really was a Perfect Day!

Thanks again for all your wonderful work!

Michelle Adams

New Arrival


Congratulations to Kim and Mark! Kim and Mark welcomed a new member to their family April 15, 2009. Jack Joseph Herbert was to excited and just couldn't stay in any longer and surprised the family 8 weeks early. He is doing great and growing bigger everyday.



Kim and Mark let me help plan their wedding on October 27, 2007, I am very lucky to still have this wonderful family in my life.



Thank you Herbert and Wood family!

Laura and Chris April 4, 2009









I just had a knock at my door and someone had sent me a beautiful arrangement of tulips. It is not my birthday or anniversary. When I opened the card it read:

“Thank you! Malissa, Thank you so much for making our day so special. It would not have been possible without you! Chris and Laura”

I have been thinking all weekend about what I was going to write about this wonderful couple and how much I truly enjoyed working with them. Sending me flowers should explain to all how wonderful they are.

Thank you Laura and Chris!

I remember when Laura’s mom Diane called to interview me on the phone. She said Laura was never the type of girl who dreamed of her wedding day – well I do believe she had something in mind. Her ceremony at First United Methodist Church in Norfolk was simple but romantic. The reception followed at the Half Moone with stunning details all around. Watching the guest’s reactions as they walked into the reception was amazing all in itself.

Laura, Diane and Chris thank you so very much for letting me be apart of your planning process and this wonderful day. I will miss our nightly emails to each other. Have fun in Bora Bora and Japan!

As always it was a blast working with Keith Cephus Photography and Digital Dreammakers. A special thank you to all the vendors who helped make this day possible: Omar’s Carriage House Catering and staff, Lucy’s Sweet Treats, Distinctive Floral Design, Half Moone, Rob Dalby (DJ), Venture Tours and Tona Brown (Violinist). Thank you Atlantic Event Rentals for all the wonderful rentals and taking time out to assure every detail.

We are very excited to announce that Laura and Chris’s wedding will be featured in My Day Magazine. This is a magazine located in Washington, DC but is nationwide in all Barnes and Nobles. Make sure you pickup My Day Magazine’s next issue.
