Our first order of business in the New Year is to introduce Joan Day's Wedding Thread School; the official journal by Joan Day Weddings and online DIY Bridal Resource, wedding planning classroom, and gift boutique. Since 2007, we've been assisting couples and businesses a like with special events, corporate parties, weddings, and fundraisers. With so many details that go into an event, we feel confident that the "Behind the Scenes" information we share will be enlightening and educational, and at times, very entertaining.

Love stories are inspiring, and through the craft of design, logistics, and planning, we support others in telling their love story. Our ties to family tradition, style, and grace are reflected in every event we plan. Hospitality is at the core of our business, and as you can well imagine, many topics we cover on The Wedding Thread will focus on hospitality, etiquette and how to make your guests feel extra special. Our first series, "Plated," will focus on setting the table. It sounds like an easy concept, but many formalities have gone to the way side in our casual society. We'll pull out the Emily Post book, and reference specialist on this very topic to ensure that JD brides know how to host, a proper dinner party.

In addition to great information and resources for planning events, The Wedding Thread offers an online boutique featuring unique gifts. These will of course be on-trend with bridal accessories and southern couture, featuring select gifts made of genuine leather, solid craftsmanship, local made products, and unique items to share with your wedding parties as favors, bridal party gifts, or groom and bride gifts. We even have the ability to offer bulk purchasing savings, so inquire within before placing an order.

From JD's preferred vendor selections, custom design boards to evening gowns, luxury rentals and linens, down to specialized stationery, escort cards and guest accommodations, we have a hand in every detail.
