Today we’d like to introduce you to Tamara and Tiffany Wint.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Tamara and Tiffany. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Our story started with a friend who got newly engaged but didn’t think she could afford a wedding. She told us she only had $300. We enlisted the help of our Aunt Michelle Gibbs who did weddings in New Jersey and New York for advice. She sent us our first 100 chair covers and sashes. We planned this wedding with a menu of potluck catering solicited by choir members, 12.00 dollar flower girl dresses from Burlington and handmade bouquets made from silk flowers. It was a beautiful wedding on a small budget. We truly realized what we wanted and loved to do.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Having a business in general bring about obstacles and challenges. Helping clients establish a budget for them to stick too. Dealing with challenging mother of brides should be the issue but making a profit in the first five years was hard when you put so much into building a brand and business. Getting your name to be well known in an industry with high competition.
We’d love to hear more about the business.
