How to navigate your invitation timeline to account for uncertainties during COVID-19, now and in the near future with Kristen Folzenlogen, Poeme. Kristen Folzenlogen, Poeme owner/designer My skills involve color, type, print, and “design-y” things, BUT my super-hero powers have been defined as “Mother-of-the Bride Whisperer”, “Etiquette-Enthusiast” and “Wordsmith Wizard”. I have yet to meet a Bride-(or Groom)-zilla, and I think this has to do with the fact that with good communication and proper guidance, our clients can enjoy designing their wedding stationery. I translate the vision you have for your celebration and put your story on paper, and if I can do it in a way that allows you to enjoy the process, then I have done my job! https://www.poeme-online.com/

To offer grace. Understanding. A helping hand. Resources. Support. Meet Ashley Price, owner of Ashley Rene Photography. I’m an overly excited curly girl who spends the majority of her time behind a screen typing only to emerge from her hole in order to climb a stool and wade through fields with people in love. They typically make out while I hold up a big black box screaming, “YASSSS DO IT AGAIN!!”⠀ When you put it like that my job is pretty freaking weird, right? I'm also a photographer. Haha :) The core of my business, no matter what I’m doing as my craft, whether that’s photography or something different, I know my calling is in helping share stories that make people feel something. Stories that connect our hearts and remind us of our why. That is always always always my heart behind what I do!!

Special Guest: Carrie Slack, owner of Stem Floral Studio Joins Us.  Carrie is the founder and head designer at Stem Floral Studio.  She has nearly 20 years of wedding floral design and business management experience.  Carrie has experienced the ups and downs of the economy over the last 20 years; beginning with 9/11, followed by the devastating 2007 recession and the impact it has had on the wedding and floral industry. Carrie has witnessed the result of what happens to the floral industry when an economic downturn forces many businesses to substantially cut back on budgets and brides are forced to cut back on their wedding budget.  We will also discuss how to reevaluate your vision based on what florals are available.
