It’s culture. Your family’s traditions. The quirky unique parts of your love story.
When a bride tells me that she wants to do do x, “but it’s ok if we don’t because it’s different” at her wedding— those are the things I protect at all costs.
As someone who goes to a lot of weddings, experiencing new is such a gift, for everyone.
What can you add to your wedding that you couldn’t find on Instagram or Pinterest?

I went to a nice restaurant at the beach yesterday. I ordered a spritz, as one does. I got carded for the first time in forever and from that point forward, the lovely waitress said my name everytime she spoke to me… “thank you, Ashlyn” “here’s your drink, Ashlyn” “Ashlyn, how is your cacio e pepe?”
Game changer.
And not only my name, she did this for the rest of the 15 friends that I was with.
Of course, I had to ask her, ok is this a restaurant thing or a you personal thing?!
It was all her. She said that by checking ids she locked in every name and by a round of drinks, she knew every name of every table that was hers.
You better believe I tipped extra.
Because she created an entire vibe and personal experience just by saying our names.
It’s really the little things.
So my fellow entrepreneurs…what can we add to our businesses to make a personal moment for those we serve?
I’m so thankful Haley was our server, as she gave a fabulous reminder.
Cheers to making it personal. Because at the end of the day, we all just want to feel seen and heard.

Two years ago, I was eating leftover red velvet cake, and I turned to my husband and said, “why would anyone ever eat vanilla cake when red velvet exists?”
And the rest was history.
The entire brand was instantly created in my mind.
Red velvet Collective.
Because no one is just vanilla. You are worthy of the Red Velvet. The good stuff.
We are bold, beautiful, unique, cool, elevated, and special.
And so are you. And so is your wedding.
So here’s to us.
May we always RED VELVET OUR LIFE.
