Thank you to everyone who came out to the Blue Ridge Bridal Showcase to visit us on the 21st! The snow definitely put a big damper on the turn-out, but we still met lots of great couples! Jon & I had fun showing everyone the new Deluxe Coffee Table Album that I just started creating. The Slim Line version that I have been using for a few years have sold very well, so I really think that these new Deluxe Lines are going to be a huge hit! We received so many compliments about the layout of the album, and of course the great couple that was featured inside: Omar & Jennifer Kaskas. To answer a few questions I've been getting recently about the album, the layout took me about 14 hours to complete (a few hours here and there over about a 10 day period). I was rushed for time, as usual, so there were lots of images that did not make it into the album. You can view the proofs from Omar & Jen's wedding here. Within the next month or so, depending on my schedule, I will post the complete album layout for you to view on my website. The cost of the album featured starts at $470 & there are many add-ons that you can take advantage of that will tell your story even better. These prices are extremely competitive, and I am actually thinking of evaluating my pricing structure over the next few months, considering the "other guy" in Winchester is charging anywhere from $1000-$2500 for the same book, and also charges for any changes you make to his initial layout of the book. FYI, I think that since you are paying so much for a wedding book, you should be completely happy with the layout before the book is printed... but hey, that's just me... I'm sure the other guy has his reasons, as he seems like a very nice man ;-)

Of course at the show we had to have the area's very first accumulation of snow on the one day of the whole season that I was praying for it NOT to snow (can you sense a slight hint of cynicism?!?)... So, I have decided to participate in the "Official I Do Bridal Showcase" at Bowling Green this Saturday, February 3rd from 10am-4pm. This show is free to the public, and is always a very delightful event to attend for a bride. The show is smaller than the Blue Ridge Bridal Showcase, but it makes up for it's size in it's elegance. If you decide on stopping by to take a peek, please make sure you visit Jon & I in the sunroom at some point during your visit.

Since I have promised myself that I will post an image on each blog entry, here is a snapshot of Jon & I after the show...very cold & tired! Let's hope for better weather this Saturday...
