Note from Jeannine: I really adore Jessica, so I am excited for you all to meet this young lady today. Without realizing that our paths had already crossed at the Southern Weddings Magazine launch party in Atlanta in January, 2009, I reached out to Jessica last year for some help with graphic design. She had recently completed the branding for Julianne Smith of Garter Girl, and Julianne had tweeted about how great it was to work with Jessica. Since working together initially, Jessica has worked on several design projects for me, and even presented to the attendees of The Style Plan workshop in Nashville. I highly recommend her for any graphic design or stationery project you may be working on and please check out her blog, The Budget Savvy Bride – it’s really fantastic! Please enjoy Jessica’s feature today!

|
How would you describe your personal style? |
Eclectic. I’ve always been a fan of mixing dressier pieces with casual ones. I’m that girl who wears her pearls with her blue jeans, and I also love wearing menswear style clothing like vests. I try to be savvy and shop on the cheap and am always looking for good deals! |
|
How does your personal style relate to your business branding? |
Well, I’d like to think that people can’t tell how little I spend on my wardrobe because I pair better quality pieces with less expensive ones and I accessorize a lot. I love wearing big chunky statement necklaces to draw the attention to an otherwise everyday so-so outfit! |
|
What would you like people to know about you that they will not discover through your website or blog? |
I think I’m a pretty open book when it comes to my blog! What you see is what you get with me for the most part. I totally over-use exclamation points and smiley faces in my blog so it may come across that I am ridiculously hyper all the time so if anything I would say I’m a little more laid back and subdued in person! |
|
What is your most treasured possession? |
A pair of diamond earrings my grandparents gave me for college graduation. They were the first diamonds my grandpa ever gave to my grandmother so they have a really sentimental meaning to me. |
|
What message would you like to convey to others in the industry? |
That you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a beautiful wedding, or to look fabulous! |
|
Please share your favorite beauty or style tip: |
Moisturize! Even if you have oily skin like me moisturizer is so important and will keep you looking younger longer! |
