A few weeks ago these beautiful irises were in full bloom in my St Louis garden. Notice anything about the colors in this photograph? They are essentially the palette of colors we use in our brand.

The internet is an invaluable tool when planning a wedding and if you are in the wedding business, having a website which engages the “bride to be” is vital.
Ruth Hasser, a St Louis wedding officiant and celebrant, understood this and we began working with her in the design of her website in early March.
A picture speaks a thousand words and we incorporated a photograph or Ruth in action and built the site around a natural color palette of greens, browns and cream and topped it with an intuitive navigational tool.
Internet marketing was also a priority for the site and it has been optimized for the search engines and also includes a custom designed blog.
