Hello and Happy Wednesday!!! Today on The Busy Bride Podcast, I am chatting with Amy from Element Designs, a floral preservation business based in Lehigh Valley. It was so cool to hear about everything that goes into pressing a wedding bouquet and all the different ways you can get the flowers you put so much effort into preserved for a lifetime!! I can’t wait for you to hear more from Amy; let’s get into it.More about Amy 🌷I first discovered the beauty of pressed flowers when my grandmother gifted me a single pressed white rose at sixteen. From that point on, I quickly realized that flowers with sentiment deserve to be saved. What started with a small Etsy business in 2019 quickly transformed into a team of 20 talented individuals servicing clients nationwide for flower preservation. Aside from running the business with my wonderful team, I love to spend time with my family! I have loving husband, a two year old son, and two dogs! If you've been following along from the beginning, you may have picked up on my admiration for interior design and decorating as well (hello showroom redesigns!).My favorite thing about Element is my team. Everyone is so unique yet we all share a common ground of being ambitious, kind, and hardworking.Connect with Element Design 👇🏼IG: @elementpreservationWebsite: pressedbouquetshop.comConnect with Gabriella 🌞Website: www.gabriellamariephotography.comInstagram: @gabriellamarieaudiTikTok: @gabriellamarieaudiPinterest: Gabriella Marie PhotographyWanna be intentional about your season of engagement?

Hello and happy Wednesday!!! Today on The Busy Bride Podcast, I am chatting with Sheila from Beyond Blissful Events, a wedding coordination business located in Chester County! We talk about all the little nitty gritty details she helps her couples with so they can remain as blissful as possible throughout their wedding day, and she even shares a horror story about a classic car that she was able to turn around and rescue for the couple! I cannot wait for you to hear all the goodness Sheila has to offer; let’s get into it. More about Sheila ☺️ IG: @beyondblissful_events Website: www.beyondblissfulevents.com Bio: "I grew up in Honey Brook, PA. It’s a small town that fueled my passion for travel. I traveled a ton from 16-29 years old thanks to summers off from teaching (at least it gave me that!). After having my daughter at 30, my travels slowed down. Which, I am okay with because every moment spent with her and my husband are my favorite moments of all! They’re my world, and I’m excited to show her my passion for traveling, and to start our adventures one day when we are both ready! In addition to loving my family, I have the best, most supportive friends in the world! I have my B.S. in Mathematics, and my Masters in Education. I love math, but unfortunately not much of the rest. I overuse emojis and exclamation points (and I’m not sorry about it!). Music feeds my soul. Oh, and so does dessert. I am dark chocolate and sugar obsessed. I believe life is short but it can be sweet. That we have to surround ourselves with love and share it with others. I believe in lifting each other up every chance we get. And think that when you find your people, you should hold them close, and always, always let them know how much they’re loved."
