MN Bride’s “Best of 2009”, honors local businesses that have been accommodating brides for years and individuals who go the extra mile to make their clients happy. Their expertise allows couples a stress-free day, with the assurance that it will be the most memorable and meaningful occasion.
Unlike other award programs where the editors choose the finalists, this award is determined on votes from over 4,000 brides.
Both Julie Swenson and Cathi Barbe, owners, are excited to attend the awards ceremony to be held at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis.
“Regardless if we win, it will be an honor to be in a room full of such amazing talent.” says Swenson, founder of Smart and Chic.
This nomination comes just months after winning The Bride’s Choice Award and a favorable review in the Pioneer Press.
“We love what we do and to be recognized for it is just icing on the (wedding) cake”, quips Barbe.
