Hi, I am with Town Hall.
We are preparing a Welcome Kit for new residents that are moving into your community.
Our Welcome Kit can only feature one Hair Salon and I would like to discuss your being the exclusive Hair Salon for your communities’ new residents.
I would like to schedule a time when you are expecting me so that I may drop off a sample of our "Welcome Kit" and explain the program in greater detail.
Please message me or for immediate assistance, feel free to call or text me on my cell which is listed below.
Thanks.

When you leave what’s comfortable and predictable, it can be a scary thing. When you build something from an idea and surround yourself with people who believe in you or trust you to help their business thrive, you end up living in an environment of loyalty and acceptance. You’re not afraid to try new things. And for every “no” you receive, you appreciate each “yes” with more gratitude, because you are connecting with the right people who fit in your life and energize your spirit.
Today has been a great day; however, it’s just one day of a great week. Below is a list of female entrepreneurs who are not just colleagues or clients to me. They are also friends. I can express my opinion or recommendation, and they will listen even if they don’t agree, because they know that I have their back, and they can call on me whenever they need me. Thank you for being a part of my week!

What a day! Tara & Mike have been looking forward to their rescheduled wedding day for quite some time. All the wait was worth it for them, and they are so deserving of the perfect day that they had on Friday. I truly had the BEST time capturing it all for this special couple, especially with this stellar team of vendors!

Want to know the secret to incorporating beautiful florals throughout your entire wedding design?! 😉
*
You REUSE THEM! Sure, you can dedicate a large portion of your budget to creating a number of fun and different arrangements specific for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception (in fact, we won't hate it if you do! please call us, ha! 😂) but it's likely that we'll be guiding your guests from space to space, meaning there's usually transition time that can allow for moving any ceremony florals to your reception site so you can show off those bad boys all over again in a completely new way! 🙌🏼

Here's an example of how the same floral arrangement was used 3 different ways during this styled shoot we did The Middleburg Barn back in 2018! Florals are such a beautiful way to bring a space to life and make a huge impact -- we'll help you make sure you're getting the most out of them!

I started writing this post a couple of weeks ago...while it still everything that I planned on including (the wedding planning process, our vendors, and some solid planning tips), it now gives many shout outs to not just the small businesses that are going to be a part of our day, but also other wedding vendors that we inquired with! I strongly believe that these people need all the shout outs they can get right now!
You can find ALL of these vendors linked in this post, plus everything from where we ordered our wedding invitations to the band we chose, and of course all of the lovely engagement photos that Compass Studios took for us!
This is jam packed friends, and with good things! 😀

Our wedding editorial was inspired by Oatlands’ greenhouse. The greenhouse is the second oldest in the country and full of natural light and beautiful exposed stone and brick. Combined with a dynamic color palette that blended an array of whites, greens, dusty blues and warm hues and floral arrangements that included cymbidium orchids there was a slight tropical vibe to this modern shoot.
Enjoy a few more of our favorites from this greenhouse editorial, now in Virginia Bride Magazine!

Today’s blog post has been a long time coming! Lauren Harbin and I first started dreaming up this editorial shoot in 2018. We knew we wanted to create inspiration for a greenhouse wedding and after touring Oatlands Historic House and Gardens we knew we had found the perfect place.
After sitting on this editorial for over a year the team and I thrilled to finally be able to share it with you. It’s been published on Virginia Bride Magazine's online home and can be found in the latest print edition in stores. Make sure to pick up a copy!
