The Rhythm, Pace, Movement of a Wedding, Not Invented But Nurtured
Glamour Bride Advise No Comments »Pierre Dumas, artistic director of Hermes, in his editorial in the Printemps-Ete 2011, Le Monde DHermes magazine, reflects on Hermes Paris enrions workshop, its artisans:
You can almost hear their movements.
The rhythm of the workshops
An artisan is nurtured, not invented
So, this is what is at the heart of Hermes and its artisans. Is not this joie du vivre also to be the unique experience of a bride, and at the heart of her wedding process?
Recessing. Reaccessing. Perhaps, taking a different tact; pivoting, if necessary, ones current life direction, and setting a slightly different course, or spinning a compass for an altogether different destination.
This afternoons agenda?

I need to brag for a minute we have the best sponsors here at Once Wed. Their creative concepts and beautiful work never ceases to amaze me. Todays sponsor is no exception. Im so happy to share with you the work of Betsywhite Stationary Boutique. With a full line of stylish and deceptively afforable wedding invitations, Betsywhite is a great resource for brides on a budget. I always tend to have champagne taste on a beer budget (anyone else with me??), so I love vendors like Betsywhite that are both beautiful and budget friendly! From wedding logo designs to invitations to personalized stationery, theyve got it all.
