Well well well, 2019! How are youuuu doin? I can’t believe 2018 is over, and a new year is here! I still remember the first day of 2018 and thinking how I was so excited for what was in store, but also petrified of the results. Self-doubt and fear are a crazy thing, but I told myself last year I was going to throw fear out the window and GO FOR IT! That’s just what I did, and the rewards of last year have shown me that ignoring that voice that says no, don’t do it, was the best thing that could have happened! Don’t get me wrong, sometimes it creeps up and I still have weird nightmares before every Wedding, or after, the most recent one was after our last Wedding of the year, I dreamt I missed the wedding! It was so real I woke up and looked on my phone to make sure that I had indeed made the Wedding! LOL But for the most part I am proud of myself for my GO FOR IT attitude, and not care what people think or say! (within reason)

This year VAE made lots of strides! I worked with the kindest and most amazing couples. I hosted Engaged The Wedding, Workshop.. stay tuned we are doing another one! We planned Weddings in Virginia Beach, San Francisco, & Los Angeles and parties in Miami! We worked at couples private homes (which has become one of my favorite types of weddings now).

I got really creative with ceremony seating for three of my couples and had a blast dreaming up design ideas. I revamped our design proposals and I LOVE THEM. Went to LVL Academy and had a BALL!! Learned more about Illustrator & Pages.

Worked with the best of the best in the creative industry in the wedding and fabrication industry. Covered cars with balloons thanks to Nikki and her amazing team at Poplar & Pine), and mama (Migos voice) we made it into VOUGE! Flew over 120,000 miles, went to Paris twice, London, and the Bahamas. I would say the only way the only way is UP for 2019

For 2019 my goals are simple. Work hard, be kind, have fun, and enjoy the ride and don’t stop dreaming!! What are your goals?
