Note from Jeannine:  Although I heard of Lindsay long ago, I only recently met her at the Say Yes To The Dress Premiere Party here in Atlanta.  I am so glad I met her and can now call her a friend.  She is such a doll and her positive attitude is so refreshing in an industry where we can so easily get very cynical.  Trust me, you will want to read her profile and check out her work! Thanks for sharing your profile, Lindsay!

How would you describe your personal style?

Original, cute and funky. I’ve always liked to stand out, but in a creative and attractive way–I was actually voted “Most Interestingly Dressed” in high school.

How does your personal style relate to your business branding?

It’s deeply connected for me. Clients realize they’re getting an original—someone with an all-around creative vision that’s different from everyone else. Within the wedding industry, I do a lot of networking and I figured out pretty early on that what I wore was a great way to stand out. Nothing opens a conversation better than “I love what you’re wearing.” I have a custom-made necklace that features the Sublime colors and flowers, similar to the logo. It’s subtle, but it works.

What would you like people to know about you that they will not discover through your website or blog?

I’m a Duchess of Hazard. I worked in Hazard, Kentucky as a television reporter and the Mayor made me A Duchess (get it? The Dukes of Hazard?). I have a certificate and a key to the city that doubles as a bottle opener. True story.

What is your most treasured possession?

Style-wise: it’s a toss up between my Elva Fields necklaces and my Frye boots. I plan on handing all of them down to my daughters one day.

Non-style wise: My wedding pictures, of course!

What message would you like to convey to others in the industry?

Practice the Golden Rule. Apologize when you screw up. Cultivate real relationships. Know that the one who needs the next favor might be you.
