I’m so excited and greatful to be apart of the new i-do boutique in Cincinnati (O’Byranville area).¬† It’s a boutigue of event planner Brigid Hornester and the Wedding Day Divas.¬† In addition to a one-stop location in finding the best well known wedding professional¬†in Cincinnati and surrounding areas.

There so many of us to choose from in various categories of entertainment, hair stylists, florists, videographers, makeup artists and many others.  And by the boutique representing us we all have specialty made portfolios/binders of our work on hand for any bride to see (like in the image below).

The grand opening party was last night and it was so refreshing to be out mingling and networking with familiar faces and new ones alike.¬† I even had the opportunity¬†to sit and chat¬†with¬†makeup artists Ashley Matho, Nancy Dawson, Kelly Ledford¬†and few of their guests in a long group discussion… and boy did we talk!

I look forward to the great things for the upcoming year and this was a great way to start.

The beauty & brains behind Cincy Event Planning are Julie Schmidt and Lindsey Bayer.¬† These two are amazing, they¬†provide the utmost service when it comes to¬†planning weddings and events.¬† Giving you all of their utmost time and attention.. trust me I’ve seen them in action!

There motto is to “offer a vibrant and refreshing approach to wedding and event planning for today’s modern couple”. And that they do and then some.

Lindsey was actually a bride of mine two years ago and then her sister in 2008.  And of course I met Julie thru previous brides of mine and bumbed into each other at many vendor networking events on numerous occasions (enjoying good food, conversation and wine).

A few days ago I had the liberty of making these two mommas gorgeous for some updated pictures by TM Photography.
