Style Shoot Winter 2015


Hello everyone!

Can you believe that Spring is finally here! What better way to remember the winter then to show you our style shoot we had in January. I'm so happy how everyone came together to make this happen and I'm so excited to show you the pictures!

This is the second style shoot that I have organized and I'm so glad that everyone was so laid back and so sweet! I would love to work with all of them again! If you would like to see the first style shoot I organized, click HERE

The theme of this shoot was Winter Wonderland. 
(We didn't get any snow I was hoping for, it decided to come two days later) 
But we made do anyways!

The day started off a bit chilly but with blue skies. We knew the rain was coming that evening, so we were racing the clouds. It wasn't too cold, but the wind we had was a bit crazy at times! We all had a wonderful time and even did some wine tasting.

Enjoy!
(I apologize ahead of time for the picture over load. I can't help but to show them all.)

March Special 2015


Good Morning everyone!
 
It's March! We're that much closer to Spring starting, and wedding season of course. I don't know about you, but we've had some crazy weather last month in East Tennessee. I feel like we were snow/iced in for almost half the month! I'm definitely ready for warmer weather (I'm not a fan of the cold)
 
For many of you getting married this year also means one month closer to your big day! Are you all ready? Don't stress, I promise it will all come together beautifully!
 
So for this month, we want to help! We strive to be a one stop shop! Obviously not fully a one stop shop, but close.
 
Do you still need to get your bridesmaid and groomsmen flowers and presents? This month is buy three, get one free! Bridesmaid bouquets, groomsmen boutonnieres, gifts, etc.
 
 
Also, our coupon code for our ETSY shop this month is MARCH10 to get 10% off your order.
 
Don't forget we still have a few dates available for wedding planning/coordinating for this year as well. Send us an email at weddingsbyalisonshane@gmail.com for more information and pricing.
 
Be sure to check out our facebook page for more pictures and information on our products and services.
 
Have you been a past Bride? We would love for you to give us a review on weddingwire.com
 
Thanks for reading and look forward to warmer weather

Happy New Year!


 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
 
I hope everyone had a wonderful 2014 and going to have an even better 2015, especially if it's your wedding year!
With each new year, this business grows just a little bit more. I'm ready to make 2015 my greatest yet!
 
As a business still starting up, I have MANY goals I want to reach. I've written a list of short term goals for 2015. I debated whether to keep them to myself or to share with you all. YOU are the reason I set goals and YOU are the ones who can help me reach them, so what better person to hold me accountable then YOU?
 
Here are a few of my 2015 goals
1. I would like to book at least 12 brides to average one a month. (I know this doesn't seem like much, but I'm taking baby steps)
2. I would like to organize at least 4 style shoot (one for each season) I already have one scheduled in January.
3. I would like my facebook page to get at least 500 fans (I'm currently at 298)
4. I would like to get at least 12 sales on my new ETSY shop, averaging one a month. (Separate from booking 12 brides)
5. Get a website up and running.
6. Have at least 25 people sign up for our email newsletters. (Currently have 19)
 
I know it doesn't seem like much, but it's a start. We all have to start somewhere right?
 
 
Now that I have told you about my goals, who's ready for some new year sales?
 
Since it's 2015, take 15% off your entire purchase.
Also, all month get FREE shipping, no minimum order.
(must pay in full by January 31st at 11:59pm EST to receive discounts)

 
If you would like to purchase something from my ETSY shop, you can use the coupon code NEWYEAR2015 to get FREE shipping. (15% off not eligible on ETSY) 

 
If you have any questions or would like to see some more of my work, check out my facebook page at www.facebook.com/weddingsbyalisonshane or send an email to weddingsbyalisonshane@gmail.com
 
Thanks for reading and have a GREAT year!

Real Weddings: Kirstie and Mike



Hello everyone!
 
Is everyone ready for the holidays? I know I'm ready for Thanksgiving, but not looking forward to Black Friday. Let the crazy hours begin!
 
It's time for another real wedding post before the craziness of the holidays hit.
 
Kirstie is my best friend, has been since our senior year of high school. Today is actually her birthday too! We instantly clicked and have been friends ever since. Even though we are no longer in high school, we live thousands of miles away, and both have babies, every time we talk, it's like we've never been apart.
 
I've seen Kirstie go through some of the hardest times in her life and she has always pushed through. She's one of the strongest woman I have ever met. I could hear the joy in her voice and see it in her face whenever she was with Mike or talked about him. I think I knew before they did that they would be together forever. ;)
 

They got married on a California beach on July 14, 2012. I wished so badly I could have been there for her on her special day, but finances said otherwise. Naturally I had to make her something for her wedding. She was absolutely beautiful!
 


I made her a Bride hair piece. I wish this sweet couple the absolute best!
 

 
Would you like us to make something for you for your wedding? You can check out our facebook page at

Have we ever made something for your wedding? Send us an email to weddingsbyalisonshane@gmail.com with pictures and your story to be featured on our blog and newsletters.
 
Thanks for reading and have a great Thanksgiving!
