Small Business is American
Small Business is American Why You Should Support Your Local Bridal Boutique When I was 6 years old, I started my first business (sort of). It was the 1970’s and neighborhood Christmas parties were almost expected at every household. I had the idea to cut mistletoe...

One of my favorite times working with a Bride was several years ago, during filming of a pilot episode for a reality show called “The Veil Trail.” The show was not a success (it was way too nice with no “train wreck”) but the bride and her story were a huge success....

As body image perceptions change in society, should terminology change too? Years ago, I was looking to hire a showroom model, so I contacted a well-known model agency in New York City. I explained I needed someone who was my standard size 6 (bust 36”, waist 28”, hip...

Working in the bridal industry for almost a quarter century I’m pretty certain qualifies me as a family therapist. I’ve seen every dynamic possible in a mother/ daughter relationship. I do not have enough time to share them all (someday I’ll write a book), but for now I’ll share my best and worst experiences…
