Many thanks to Style Me Pretty for such a great blog for Bre and Kyle’s Wedding.

Best said by one of our favorite Grandmas…Blessed, Blessed, Blessed and that is exactly what we are by the wedding celebration of Kyle & Bre.

Blessed… because Bre was the incredible planner behind the event.  It was once again her artistic design, yet this time for her own wedding day. Her beauty, creativity & ingenuity were on display for the people she loved most and what beauty there was to behold.

Doubly blessed because it was Bre and this day, that became our inspiration to start Forever Vintage Rentals.  She was relentless and we are grateful!

But most of all, we are blessed because this is our family. It was one of those moments where you stop and say, “God how did something so beautiful happen to me?” The story of Bre’s life is one of sincere faithfulness and I am honored and blessed beyond measure to call her my daughter.

So you too be blessed by this story much like that of a fairy tale… a young woman, devoted and faithful marries the man that God has designed especially for her.

All things vintage

POSTED ON JANUARY 25, 2013

What a week! So many incredible meetings. One though was the absolute highlight. I called Forever Vintage Rentals asking about some of their beautiful candle sticks I saw on their site. That lead to us discussing more about their beautiful items they have collected and gorgeous handmade wood farm tables! THEN we began to discuss the property that they own that has been the place for many beautiful weddings. With all of this talk I had to visit.

I can positively say I have never met two women who are as genuine, hospitable and and passionate as Rhonda and Cara. They understand weddings to another level with recently going through their own daughter’s weddings. I need to stop and say why I am mentioning this and why this is important. When looking for vendors make sure you have a connection with them. Yes, price is important but really make sure you can connect with them, they understand you. I recently brought a client up to their property and the bride asked why did they treat us so well? Did you pay them:)? My response was this is the way it should be. This is a wedding, a extremely big part of your life and commitment and finding someone to care and take the time to really listen to what you are looking for is important. You should not just be another booking.

Ok now back to all things pretty and vintage. Let’s start with their rental company. I cannot begin to tell you everything they have but I will share a few of my favorites.

Do yourself a favor and go browse their site, you will fall in love with everything! www.forevervintagerentals.com
