I got a lovely email today from Candy over at Carrie & Danielle Inc. (you know you’ve made it when there’s an ‘Inc.’ following your name!) giving me a heads up that the lovely ladies have a fresh new look for their website, carrieanddanielle.com:

I just had to mention it because Candy took the time to personalize her email to me, going as far as referencing the Nine West shoes I was talking about recently. As Communications is my day job, I know how much time and effort it takes to do that. So kudos to you, Candy, for being authentic.

Speaking of authentic, I still think that when it comes to deciding your wedding style, you really have to first know thyself. There is so much wedding inspiration out there that it can be quite overwhelming. However, if you know who you are and what your own Style Statement is, making all those decisions won’t be that difficult. The bonus? The wedding will be a true extension of your and your groom’s personal styles – and that is what will make it special and memorable.

If you are just starting your wedding planning (or not–these are not just for brides but for everyone, all the time), check out their website or better yet, the Style Statement book.

I’ve actually been meaning to find the time to sit down and work out my own Style Statement for awhile now. One more thing to add to the ‘To Do After the Wedding’ list. 

Note: Rereading this just before hitting ‘Publish’, I realized it could come off as quite promotional. I just want to add that no one made me write this nor did I get paid for it (though hey, talk about dream job!); I just really liked their website when I first stumbled across it and think that their message is great, so my natural instinct is to share it. I hope you enjoy it too.
