I've been receiving some really positive feedback about my presence at Indie Wed. A warm thank you to all the inquiries and shout-outs:

* Oliveloaf Design thinks I'm clever.
* The incredibly talented Jeremy Lawson thinks I'm sweet
(and captured the wonderful photo above of my info table).
* Owl and Bunny appreciates my "serious attention to detail".
* Little Lady titled me her "hands-down fave"!

Blush!

I'm also very excited that the inquisitive and intelligent, Stephanie, of the Crane Chandelier Project, selected a snippet of our "interview" for her post about the significance of the "indie" behind Indie Wed. Check out what I had to say here.


Now it's my turn to give a few shout-outs of my own:

* The Small Object: My next project is to create a tablescape inspired by your amazing rainbow-heart cake-topper.
* Glazed Chicago Donuts: Did you see me sneak multiple samples at hour-intervals? I thank you for the tasty treats and wouldn't mind being paid by the hour in your donuts.
* Windy Weather Bindery: How can we ensure every man who is preparing for a proposal knows about your finely crafted ring boxes?
* Mary Kate McKenna Photography: Your eye is the prize!
* Fine & Raw Chocolate: Where can I purchase your chocolate in Chicago? In bulk!
* Foodie Registry: What a fantastic idea to focus a registry on fine dining.
* Jump Shots: It is indeed a happy thing!
* Audey: You are a scissor and sew goddess! One of your dress designs is at the top of my wish-list.
* Paper Parasol Press: Good to see you, friend. Your Save-the-Date cards rock!
* Pollen: Any bride would be lucky to carry your bouquets.
* Julianne Smith Wedding Garters: No one could "toss" a garter as pretty as yours!

And those are just the folks I had a chance to personally talk with!

Brides, if you are looking for something unique, these ladies and gents should be on your list.

More photos coming soon...

The Indie Wed event this past weekend was awesome! There were so many adorable brides and phenomenal vendors who I felt so honored to share the day with. Kelly Maron, the organizer, did an amazing job of orchestrating and promoting the event, as well as jurying a diverse set of wedding industry creatives.

I'll share more details soon. In the meantime, check out the great press and a couple sneak-peaks of my tablescape (photos #7-8) on the Time Out Chicago blog!
A little sneak-peak of my nature-inspired tablescape that will be showcased at this weekend's alternative Chicago bridal market, Indie Wed. My design is feminine, sweet and will make you want to prepare for picnic season. I had to create something that would give Midwestern folk a reprieve from sullen winter skies!

Curious? Stop by to say hello!
