janemade

After much deliberation with my trusted friends and sister, I think I've found it!

I know I said I wished my name wasn't so generic a couple of weeks ago, but my favorite letterpress friend pointed out that it has its own cute charm to it.  Once she mentioned janemade (JaneMade? Jane-Made? Janemade? So many options!), I couldn't stop thinking about it.

So janemade it is.

Potential logo designs to follow soon!

H & R

No, I'm not talking about the company that helps you do your taxes. I'm talking about the amazing couple who let me use their wedding as my first foray into this business. :)

I lead coordinated their wedding on Mother's Day, and let me tell you - it wasn't easy. But the experience was no less than awesome.  I enlisted J, my bestie-for-life, to help me out with this endeavor, and though she did an amazing job, she told me this is "not for her" when I asked her if she had fun. :)  Funny though, because it only further strengthened my desire to work in the industry.

I was lucky that H + R were really on top of their stuff and made things fairly easy for me. They had all their vendors ready, answered all my questions immediately, and were so appreciative, which goes a long, long way.

Here's a sneak peak, and I hope they will let me share more pictures once they have them!

Hopefully, we will be as chill as they were on their big day.  :)

Feeling accomplished,

The Perfect Name

Why is it SO difficult to come up with THE perfect name for my services? It would really help if my real name wasn't so generic, but that ain't something I can change now is it....

I hope it's not this hard when we have babies. Yes, I just brought that up with ye who does not yet exist in my life.

Here are a couple that I DO like in the industry. And why didn't I come up with them first. Poo.

I guess one slight issue is that I don't want to be limited to weddings, but want to branch out into non-nuptial events one day, so it can't just be all about the loooove.

Frazzled!

Exciting Inspiration

Oh hi.

Okay. So it's been, like, three months since my last post.

Splitting time between my real life and my dream life has proved to be a bit difficult, but thanks to my lovely and talented friend at Fourteen-Forty, I met an awesome group of ladies (and gent) last night who have re-spurred my inspiration to work in weddings and events!

Also, it's my birthday on Saturday - yes, I know it's on Cinco de Mayo -  and I've decided that the mission of my 2*th/rd/nd year of life is to make my (and other people's) dreams come true. In more ways than one. :)

I am totes looking forward to this journey and I hope you are too!

With lots of cyber confetti,
An Excited Little Monkey.
