5 FUN FACTS about KVW!

- Hi! I'm Kara, Chief Creative Entrepreneur here at Kara's Vineyard Wedding, or "KVW" for short. KVW has decorated & delivered gifts for over 15,000 events around the world, and I can promise you that I've treated each and every celebration as though it were my own.

- One of my BIGGEST thrills? Finding the monthly delivery of 12,000 wine corks on my porch (which also freaks my husband out every.single.time, LOL ;) Wine is a primary theme in my designs for lots of reasons:

* I LOVE wine (that's a given, right?)
* Cork products are sustainable, recyclable, lightweight yet durable material to
work with,
* Vineyard & winery weddings capture so much romance and elegance, and serve
as inspiration for many of my designs. Plus, working with wineries = FUN!

- I started KVW in 2011 as a fun little side hustle to pay for "splurgy" stuff like pedicures & brunch (true story), and fell in love with the e-commerce world IMMEDIATELY! Growing KVW became a top priority, and I took the leap to "quit my day job" in 2013 to be a full time entrepreneur. I have one wonderful husband, and two beautiful children, Stella (9) & John (7). We live in sunny San Diego, CA and LOVE yoga, running, podcasts, camping, and traveling.

- I work alone, and manage ALL aspects of my business - product design & completion, supply management, marketing, web design, social media, shipping, everything! The face you see? That's ME, and I will handle your order from start to finish. My number one priority is getting gorgeous, unique, one-of-a-kind work designed, made & delivered to YOU.

- I also produce & host a worldwide audio blog called the Wedding Planning Podcast, all about STREAMLINING & SIMPLIFYING your wedding plans. You can join the fun (it's free!) on our website:
