5 years ago today i made a decision that would change my life in the best way 💕
i thought to myself “what if i started a business where I could be a bridal attendant anywhere i wanted, for anyone i wanted, and any day i wanted?” to me it sounded like a great idea! 😆
i knew nothing in that moment other then that i loved helping couples on their wedding day and that i was really good at it.
over the years, ever since my mom passed away, i’ve been obsessed with - it is no exaggeration when i say that her show, Long Island Medium, got me through the very early days of losing my mom.
So, as a little nod to her, and my mom, (i won’t lie i also knew the seo would be 🔥) i chose the name The Long Island Bridal Attendant.
I asked a friend I worked with to bring my vision of the logo to life, (ily ), i decided i would be a “personal bridal attendant”, and i created the instagram page and website that would change my life 🥹
over the years I’ve gotten to meet some of the most amazing people, work in some of the most beautiful places, have the absolute BEST clients, and do something my heart loves so, so much, all while working with friends who are family 💖
has it always been easy? no. i’ve laughed, i’ve cried, i’ve had restless nights filled with anxiety, i’ve fallen (more times then i wish to admit), i’ve been scared, i’ve been mad, i’ve been overjoyed, i’ve been excited (+ many more emotions) but every single second has been worth it ✨
i’ve always been someone who dreams big. i blame my mom for that 😂 she always told me i could do anything i set my mind to and i’ve always believed just that.
life has not always been easy - i lost my mom when i was 22 and went out into the world on my own. she was a single mom, we didn’t have much money as i was growing up, and i had no family that lived close. i’m so grateful for my godmother and husbands family have always been there for me. because of this, i savor every person, moment, and memory 📸
thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the last 5 years. i can’t wait to see what the future holds but for today, i’ll be reflecting on the past 💫
