I love the history they tell and how you can feel the craftsmanship. My grandmother was a big influence. She had a <em>huge<\/em> cabinet with all sorts of pretty china in it. I used to admire it as a little girl but was never allowed to touch anything.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, I came across a very pretty teacup\u2014it was love at first sight. I absolutely had to have it. Then I had to have one more and another one after that. Now, I\u2019m at over 500 sets and counting.<br \/>\nWhen I was getting married in 2015, I couldn\u2019t find a place to rent fine china for an entire wedding. I thought that I couldn\u2019t be the only one who wanted pretty china instead of basic plates for her wedding.

I started pinning my dream wedding. I\u2019m a very organized, detail-oriented and social person. With my passion for weddings and my best traits, I thought professional wedding planning might be my calling. I also wanted to be my own boss and run my own event planning company.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016 I had an opportunity to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2018\/03\/pros-cons-partnering-event-planning-businesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">help out a fellow wedding planner<\/a> with a few events.

From meeting the bride and hearing her ideas to putting together a mood board for the client, it doesn\u2019t feel like work. It\u2019s more like helping someone out.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_your_work_featured_on_Wedding_Chicks_and_Hitched_Magazine_is_a_big_accomplishment_How_did_you_catch_their_attention\"><\/span>Getting your work featured on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingchicks.com\/blog\/fantasy-fairytale-wedding-ideas-with-a-vintage-travel-vibe-l-16928-l-41.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wedding Chicks<\/a> and Hitched Magazine is a big accomplishment!
