Fast Forward a Few Weeks




Ok! So, the countdown didn't work exactly as I had pictured it. The closer it got to opening the more time I spent at the shop, which didn't have internet hook-up......... Now going on day 12 of being open, I have finally taken a moment to sit down and say - I didn't do that very well......

To give a quick catchup, the place looks great! The fitting rooms are up thanks to Phil (a professional contractor and friend of my husband, Matt.) Everything is moved in and set up just right. Vows Tuxedo by Hayley Lauren Couture LLC is officially a member of the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce. When joining, we received a lot of great offers by local businesses. One of which was advertising with the Democrat. We have, or had, four "Grand Opening" ads running over the last week starting on Thursday and our last one will go out Wednesday. Today, we finalized the radio ads that will be playing on 104.9 and 99.9. Listen out for those, they'll start on Sunday evening.

A grand opening was held last Thursday and Friday. We had an almost constant flow of visitors during those evenings, and some who couldn't make it during the evening stopped by whenever possible.

Mike from Mike's Limo let us have a Limo in the parking lot. (which if you drive by is still there...) Balloons Unlimited brought balloons for outside. Missy from Missy Gunnels' Flowers brought the most beautiful bouquet for the opening. Rachel Melson from Sunny Days Bakery brought a delicious cake and cookies. Terri Smith brought some fantastic cupcakes from Lucy and Leo's and took some pictures of the place.

I have spent the last week and a half settling in to my new space as an open business and am now ready to meet clients!
