And just like that…it’s time for 2022. There is so much to say for this past year - so much change, growth, loss, and everything in between. Literally no words. 💞 Yet through it all, we kept on decorating weddings & events. Here’s the pics from last year - enjoy!

Enjoy what we have been up to and maybe see a few of the new rental items in the pics! First up is 2020! C

Very long and overdue post - but I’m going to try and keep this as short as possible! 😊

Simply Divine is having a GARAGE SALE this weekend! This has been in the works since mid-summer and was supposed to happen in August but sometimes life throws you a curveball and all of those plans change in an instant. So the delay gave me more time to clean out MORE items. Things will be priced to GO as I need to make shelf space for all of the new items I have my eye on for rentals.

If you have been around for awhile, you know I was only in the shop part time for the past couple years. As of June 2022, I have been back in the shop FULL TIME again! I’m still here by appointment only to meet with clients but, more often than not, I’m at the shop working on all of the remaining weddings & events for 2022. I’m also booking into 2023 and beyond right now, so if you are wanting to set a time to see what I can do to help with your wedding or event, shoot me a message!

Oh and I have a ton of wedding/event photos to post from the past couple of years - so be on the lookout for those soon!

GARAGE SALE HOURS:
Thursday: 3pm to 7pm
Friday: 9am - 6pm
Saturday: 8am - Noon

Hey Everyone! Just a little update on a few changes happening. Beginning June 15, 2020 - Simply Divine will be open BY APPOINTMENT ONLY instead of being open regular business hours as I have for the past 7 years. (It was 7 years on June 1st - time has flown by! 💕🙌) Simply Divine is not going anywhere (I'm so ready and excited for weddings to be going again - it feels like it has been years and not a mere 3 months 😆) but I'm only adjusting to accommodate some changes.

As usual - if you need to get in touch with me, there are plenty of options. Feel free to send Simply Divine a message on here or:
Email: [email protected]
Phone: 515.395.1088 (shop) or 515.321.5683 (cell)
I promise to get back to you as soon as possible. Email is the best way to make sure I'll remember to get back to you or set up a time to meet or chat on the phone.

Cheers to wedding season!! (which we kicked off last weekend - so freaking exciting!)

Today's feature local small business is Simply Divine Weddings & Events! Simply Divine is a full service wedding/event planning, decorating and rental business. Owner, Sarah Vonnahme, is here to make your wedding/event easier, so you are able to enjoy the day rather than worry about the little things. She does full setup, tear down, Day Of Coordination and has a full line of rentals if you want to do it yourself!

How YOU can support Simply Divine during this time:

🌟 Simply Divine is in full swing planning weddings and events for summer/fall 2020 and already into 2021, so if that's you - get in touch with Sarah to set an appointment to get things reserved for your upcoming event! Staying in and doing something small with your family to celebrate a holiday or birthday but want something to dress it up a bit? Sarah is happy to work with you to bring some sparkle to the celebration.

🌟 A simple referral or a compliment goes a long way! Sarah loves nothing more than to have someone refer her services on to a family member or friend for their event! If you have had Simply Divine be a part of an event of yours in the past, share that with friends and family planning weddings and events for the future.

🌟 A wonderful review on the Simply Divine page is also a way to show your appreciation and kindness during this crazy time of no large gatherings of family & friends!

Our small businesses are heavily reliant on our communities and vice versa! The owners, operators and employees come directly from our communities and put their heart and soul into providing quality products and services to YOU! And when they are not working in their business, they are providing time, resources and funds to create a better community for US! Not just community members, they are also our church members, organization members, neighbors and friends. I truly believe that we will get through this and grow stronger as a community TOGETHER!

Hey Everyone! Here's a heads up on how things are going to look at Simply Divine for the next few weeks (or so - I'll take things as they come and decide from there). Starting on Friday, March 20th - I'm going to be open by APPOINTMENT ONLY. I will still be in the shop daily checking phone messages so feel free to call, FB message or email if you need to set an appointment coming up. For those clients who already have a scheduled appointment coming up, we're still good to go so don't worry unless you choose to reschedule! I've decided it's a good time to spend my time in shop cleaning, rearranging, and purging all of the things I'm ready to part with to have a garage sale this spring when things get back to normal. (And NO I'm not closing just because I'm getting rid of rental items - if you know me at all, you know I LOVE to shop and get new pieces into the rental inventory. Honestly my shopping has caused a lack of storage space in the shop for me to add many more new pieces!🙈)
A HUGE thank you to everyone who is continuing to support small businesses in our community - this is HUGE right now and we're all extremely grateful. Being in the business that does work for groups of usually 150-500 people, this is mind boggling. So far we've done a little rescheduling and I'm sure there's a little more to come but it's going to make things just a little busier this summer! Any questions - feel free to send me a message! Thank you all! ~Sarah 💕💕
