Bijou!

After years of witnessing hundreds of couples saying their "I dos," I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more than a little obsessed with weddings.  "Uhh yeah, those.  I work in the wedding industry..." I'd tell every guy that came over as they stared down at my giant stack of bridal magazines with their eyebrows raised.

But here's the thing about bridal magazines: they're expensive, they're mostly ads and they don't have nearly enough of the stuff I want to see.  More creativity, please!  More love stories!  More!

So then I got to thinking, the idea of my next venture started forming and my excitement started building.  And then I called Jen.  I met Jen when she was working as the editor and head fashion woman at a wedding website, and she was the first (only) person I thought of to work on this with.  We met for lunch at my favorite french restaurant in Cold Spring & spent the whole time forming my vague idea into something solid, classy, substantial and incredible.  Bijou was born.

Our first issue will be launching soon, but in the mean time, I'd love for you to get a taste of Bijou over at our blog!  Follow us & like us on facebook so you can stay up to date with all the fun we're having - and be sure to say hi :)  In order to make this something really great, we need your feedback!








And if that isn't enough to convince you of how great this is going to be, maybe this will:
