Sabrina and her team are amazing! They helped us plan our special day and made it one to remember! Every little detail was as important to them as it was to my fiance and I. Sabrina is great to work with and truly cares about each client. Don't try to plan your wedding alone...Let Sabrina and her team help!

I was fortuante enough to have Sabrina when she was up and coming. Not only did she make my dreams come true but was there for every step of the way. If I had it to do again, I wouldn't change a thing!

Sabrina and her crew are THE BEST! She helped plan our wedding and now 2 of our friends' weddings as well! Everything is always amazing!! I've always said that she was our #1 vendor for our most special day. We would refer Proposing Dreams to anyone.

We used Sabrina for our wedding way back in June 6th, 2005 and feel it was one of the best decisaions we made to help take the burden off some of our tasks needed to plan our day. It's great to be a guest at your own wedding and not have to worry about anything. Thanks again, Sabrina
Sincerely,
Kim&Adam

Amanda D & Maureen were wonderful. They kept us on time, solved any problem before I even knew about it, and just generally took care of my husband and I throughout the day.

Sabrina and her team are Fabulous. I can't say enough about how great they are. The money we spent on hiring Proposing Dreams was the best we spent on the whole wedding event.

It’s an Etsy thing……

While we love all our local vendors and always suggest them first to our clients, sometimes we are not able to find the perfect piece for them. Thus enters Etsy.  As more and more people want to make their weddings unique, many of them are turning to Etsy for those unique items. You can find anything from wedding invitations to hair clips to button bouquets. Anything you want you can find on Etsy and if you can’t find it you can create a post to request someone to make it (this is called alchemy. I plan to do a post just on this topic in the future). If you have that one piece that you feel is missing from your wedding day décor, you really need to check Etsy out.

 

1. Megan Earrings (Rylee G Jewelry) 2.Hydrangea Hair Pins (Meadowbelle Market) 3.Personalized Wedding Sign (The Wooden Owl’s Shop) 4. Cherry Blossom Stationery (Your Style Invitations) 5.Luminary Table Numbers (Made for You Just by Me) 6.Pearl Necklace (heartNsoul) 7.Garters (Perfect Garter) 8. Monogram Ring Pillow (Artful Beginnings)

More and more I am hearing about people wanting to spend money at the local small business with the economy being rough. Etsy even has the option to search for local shops. Some of the vendors will allow free local pick up as well, which is always a bonus.

 

1. Daffodil Invite (P.S. Paper Goods) 2. Bridal Necklace and Earrings (Sekhmets Treasures) 3. Orchid Hair Comb (The Honeycomb)

So take the time to check Etsy out if you have not already because you might find that WOW factor for your wedding there. Also make sure you check back because I am going to tour the Etsy world and search for cool and unique wedding items. So you never know I might find you that perfect missing piece.

Remember to Vote!

Proposing Dreams was honored to be chosen for the 2007 Best of Weddings, we would love to be chosen again!! I just got an e-mail as a reminder to vote. Here are the details:

Where else do brides turn to for advice besides The Knot and WeddingChannel? Other brides! That's why, in August, we're asking our members to participate in a survey that rates their wedding vendors. Our goal is to gather the feedback and information that allows couples to give recognition to the wedding professionals who deliver stellar service.

The Knot and WeddingChannel have teamed up with a leading research company to conduct this important survey. Last year's incredibly successful survey information is now available for the benefit of brides nationwide in the 2007 premiere issue of Best of Weddings, a coast-to-coast guide to the country's top florists, venues, photographers, cakes, and everything in between.

Here’s what you can do: http://theknot.com/ratings/

Already married? If you loved the premiere issue of
The Knot Best of Weddings issue and can't wait to rate your own vendors, check your inbox for a login or come back to this page in mid-August to take the survey for next year's magazine.

The Best of Weddings Survey is now being emailed to our recently married members of The Knot.com and WeddingChannel.com. The results will be published by The Knot in the second issue of Best of Weddings in 2008.

I can't take credit for this next piece other than telling Kelli to book the amazing Alisha Clark. While this image just happens to have been taken by her boyfriend/colleague/second shooter Luke Walker, it was still "our wedding". I was tickled when she called to tell me Kelli was on the back cover of Bride & Bloom! Congrats to Luke!

 

The Knot 2007 Best of Weddings Pick

Proposing Dreams was selected as one of "The Knot 2007 Best of Weddings Pick"!

In 2006, the knot asked recent brides to rate and comment on their wedding vendors. Over 25,000 completed this survey conducted by and outside survey organizations. Here is what you'll find in the magazine on stands now:

Find your area (St. Louis is Midwest) They are divided by region and then area.

What's their rating? Scoring is out of 100. Vendors needed at least an 85 from brides to get a writeup. Listings without scores are not rated but recognized.

What did brides say? Down-to-earth, honest reviews from real brides.

 

Take the Poll!! Once you're married be sure to rate your vendors for next year at theknot.com/ratings.
