I planned a DIY detail filled wedding in June 2010. We had a 15 month engagement, so I had plenty of time to pour my heart into dozens of projects that added character and memories to our big day. I opened my shop in 2009 while still planning my own wedding and finishing my last semester of undergrad - I thought it would be fun to get a break from my own color scheme and feel by working on orders for other weddings and a little source of income, too. I had absolutely no idea it would turn into a full time job and encourage me to pursue my long time dream of offering coordination and planning services locally! I went full time with Thoughtfully Designed in July 2012 and haven't looked back since!

Currently it's just me running the shop - I'm the one replying to every message and email, sending every proof, creating every item, taking every listing photo, and shipping every order. Your patience is greatly appreciated, especially when my turnaround time grows longer during peak wedding season. :) My sweet husband is my biggest supporter and also my accountant and business advisor. I couldn't do it without him! Recently my mom was added as a member of my shop and is the one creating all of the beautiful garter sets you see listed. She's incredibly talented and is passionate about making high quality items!

I work from home in a super cute home office where I feel inspired and thankful every day. I feel blessed beyond belief that I'm doing something I absolutely love and I get to play a small part in so many incredible weddings! Thanks so much for reading - I hope I get the privilege of working with you!
