Margie
Sikes (Accredited Bridal Consultant)
After dreaming of taking care of brides since I was a little girl, and later spending several years taking care of friends during their weddings, I became tired of saying, "someday"! Ironically, on Valentine's Day, 1995, Affairs of Elegance officially began in the Business of Brides. Even though I knew the basics, I felt it important to become a part of a well respected professional organization in the industry, to both further my education and fine tune my skills. I have been a very active member of the Association of Bridal Consultants since I opened my doors, and am proud to say that of the 2500+ members worldwide, I am one of a group of 42 that has earned the title of Accredited Bridal Consultant, the third of four levels of professionalism awarded to members.
For the first two years, as is with any start up business, it took time to grow and build the clientele and vendor base, so this was mainly a part time venture, and I split the time between my duties as an Administrative Assistant for a recruiting company and Wedding Coordinator. The business began to grow a little faster than I had expected, and the stress level grew, so I knew there was only one thing to do...take a leap of faith and make it my full time passion! My brides are my heart and soul, so it was an easy decision, and one I have never regretted making.
I truly love every part of this business, and I can't begin to tell you how rewarding it is for me, and how much it means to me to know I've been a part of making my bride's wedding free of stress and everything she dreamed. I like to say I'm your "Rent-a-Mom".
