Well 2016 is finally over.  We can now start with a blank slate with 2017. I always love the start of the new year.  My name, Renee, means “born again” so I love to see how to start over, start new, as if I were born again.

A new year for us in the wedding industry means more weddings, more brides, grooms and couples. We’re in engagement season right now which is also bridal show season.  I participated in the Winchester Bridal Expo again for the 10th time this year.  It was a great show and I met with so many awesome brides.  I can’t wait to get together with many of them to plan/coordinate their weddings.  I love this time of year.  I got engaged Christmas Eve (back in 1997) so I can relate to all the couples that get engaged during this time of year.

Our booth was small this year so we had to minimize what we used.  We enjoyed the show though and we talked and talked for a solid 3 hours with potential brides.  We’re looking to follow up with all those brides all this week. Here’s a pic of booth

Since it’s engagement season, I will be going through the wedding planning process from beginning to end. Stay tuned for the next post with this topic.

Happy New Year!!!  May God bless you in 2017!!
