What do you specialize in (Day of Coordination, Full Service Design…):
We specialize in full-service, custom planning for today's chic and discerning bride. We were the first planning firm in Indy to offer "couture and luxury" wedding planning. I can say, most of our brides contract with us for our style and aesthetic. We are very much into clean and modern style, yet, very detailed and personalized design. We make sure they guests leave saying--"Wow--that was so them!" or "Did you see that??"
What are your three favorite sources of wedding inspiration?
Being that I'm a purveyor of all things stylish (!), I get my inspiration for wedding designs from everywhere. As of late, I find myself reading a lot of home interior blogs and retail furniture sites. Two of my current favs: Apartment Therapy Chicago and Horchow. For strictly wedding pretty, I really like Style Me Pretty and Southern Weddings blog. I usually never mark them "Mark as Read" in my Google Reader. And--that's more than three. . .sorry.
Why did you get started wedding planning?
I love throwing great parties! Parties that are very well put together and no small detail has been overlooked. And, really--a wedding is a great big party with extra meaning and feeling. This is what I used to daydream about while in pharmacy school. Then, whenever classmates got engaged, we would plan their weddings during class time. I've always known that I would be an entreprenuer. There is no better thing to work doing what you love to do and would do for free anyway.
What is one thing in your office that you could not live without, technology excluded?
My hard bound notebook. All of my notes for almost every meeting I attend for any of my clients is in that notebook. It's very pretty and pink and green, of course!
If you could make one recommendation to a new planner, what would it be?
Keep a 50,000-foot view of what most people are doing in the industry. Don't fall into the trap of only doing what so-called experts are doing--or in reality--telling you what to do and not doing it themselves. I've come to find there is a lot of "smoke and mirrors" in this industry and I excel when I do what I do best--and that's being Katasha. Every day. All day.
