Dear Brides out there!

Your big day is in the planning stages ~
You think about all the shopping, lists, people to contact, appointments, ideas that pop into your mind in the middle of the night or while you are driving to work, etc.  You know what I mean!  :) 

What you really need is a pretty, unique, OOAK journal to hold all things
wedding related.

Pearls and a Promise can help you meet that need.  We have several journals posted on our Etsy store or you can convo us with your color theme and a "special word" or "your name" or "your wedding date" - whatever it is you want on the front; and you can have your own unique journal to hold all those wonderful memories! Made using the popular composition journals, ours are decorated on the front, back and inside front cover. The front will be done using fabric, ribbon, lace, etc. (sewn in place); and there are six long ribbons attached that can be used as book marks or left hanging losely from the journal.

We'd love to be a part of your special day! Convo us if you have a question.

Preparation "ah-ha" moment


A new Rehearsal Dinner invitation just added to our Etsy Store
 
How to present to bridal salons?  Slide show presentations on our iPads!  Yes!


We've been talking about all kinds of interesting ways to present our custom designs to bridal salons in the area.  Last week we had one of those "ah-ha" moments.  Create a slide show on our iPads.  Did any of us have an iPad? No. Well, actually Shellie did have a "first generation" version, but it won't take pictures. Did I even have an iPad?  No.  Does Shannon?  No.  Not a problem!

Last week I bought one and Shellie's sweet husband passed his on to her so we are now scheduled to meet with a genius at the Apple store next week and learn all kinds of neat things so we can make the kind of presentations we have in mind!  So excited to get started!

Yay!  More later as we work through this and hopefully we can even share our slide shows with you!

Have a lovely day!

Pearls and a Promise

Mr. and Mrs.

One of my newest creations, and one of my favorites.  This bracelet represents the union of the bride and the groom, with the leather side representing the masculinity of the groom, and the pearls representing the feminine side of the bride.  A meaningful addition to the wedding wardrobe.  I wear mine almost everyday.

Click on the photo above to go directly to our Etsy store where you can purchase this bracelet, and while you're there you'll probably find something else you can't live without!  : )  Thanks for visiting us today.

Trunk Show Planning

We're making plans for our first bridal show coming up in February. We have set up trunk shows in the past in our individual businesses, and we all three like the same look and feel for a space, so that made it very easy for us to come up with a look for our Pearls and a Promise space. Obviously, a space with jewelry and wedding stationery will look considerably different from this space at Betty's Cottage, but this is the feel that we like. Isn't this a wonderful space?
Betty's Cottage
And I have to be on the lookout for a vintage wedding cake topper!  How perfect would this be in a bridal booth that sells a lot of wedding jewelry made with pearls!?!?  Must have!!


Chippy! Shabby!
My favorite part of doing trunk shows is the planning of the space.  It puts me into my happy place...
