How did you get started in the wedding world? I first started planning weddings and special events for the Newport Yachting Center in Newport, Rhode Island, and ever since then I have been hooked.
What is your makeup staple? DiorShow mascara and Bare Escentuals bronzer. I need a bit of a glow!
What's one thing that others don't know about you? I lived in Australia after graduating college – I always wanted to go, but because I played lacrosse in college, my sports schedule always interfered with study abroad timing (don't get too excited - it wasn't D1 lacrosse, but I still took it seriously) :). So after college, and working a real job for a while, I decided there was no time like the present, got a work visa, and made the 26–hour trip to Australia. I went alone, which was scary at first, but ended up being the best decision I could have made – you have no choice but to meet friends when you travel alone!
Oh, and I can also find four leaf clovers on command – it's my party trick.
What's one piece of advice you would give to others trying to get started with their own business? Throw fear of failure out the window, otherwise you'll be the only thing holding yourself back. That and make sure this is something you really want to do. Once you know it's something you want – never, ever give up. Keep moving – you can do it!
What is your favorite part about weddings? How a couple can carry a theme throughout their big day by incorporating special details. Little tiny details that some might not even notice at first. I love those details. I'm also a sucker for the speeches.
What is your hobby outside of blogging {is there life outside blogging} :)?
I love to go wine tasting with my husband and explore all that California has to offer. I love shutting down the computer and phone and just enjoying life outside social media. It does exist, if you can believe it! :)
