Bridal Biz!

This year has been one incredible year for our bridal accessory business, Bridal Couture Girls. My mom, my aunt Cindy and I are blessed and we are having such a blast with it. It is so rewarding to be a part of our customers' wedding day and be able to make them happy.

We now have two bridal collections so far with about 50-60 pieces each and we already have tons more in the works. We have many custom designs as well, which we have created for brides that want to step out of the box and have us re-create a vision. We create all of our own custom designs and we can recreate any brides dream piece/accessory that they envision for themselves on their special day. It is such a rewerding job and we love making brides happy.

There has been so much opportunity since the the business started. We have been featured in Style Me Pretty magazine, the Brides of Oklahoma magazine, several UK publications, Los Angeles' Luxurious weddings, and many blogs. Many bridal stores have requested to sell our pieces and we are currently working on supplying items wholesale. We have been truly honored and hope to see continuous success doing what we love and are passionate about.

Our Spring 2011 Collection is featured on our facebook page (BCGirls bridal couture) and also our Bridal Couture Girls blog which can be found here. Check out our collection and enjoy!

With Love, The Stephens

Married Life :)

Almost married 1 year....can you believe it! We are coming up on our 1 year anniversary in a little over 2 months (on June 26th). My how time flies when you are having fun! It seems like just yesterday we were walking down the aisle. We are so excited and this first year of marriage has been such an amazing journey. I am so blessed and I can't express how lucky I am to have Ryan in my life. I am proud to be his wife and I know we have a great future ahead. This year has been full of ups and downs, but God is taking us in an incredible direction. God is doing great things in our lives and our families lives as well.

Ryan and I have tons of goals together and successful careers are one of those. We have big dreams and we are excited for what is ahead. However God and family is most important to us. We want to have a family sooner than later. It is amazing how many baby questions you get, even after only 2 months of being married. hehe. We hope to build a family in the next couple years and we are so excited for that!

Ryan will be in school this Summer for Construction Science and he is so excited to get his degree. He has his own repair and construction business on the side and between school and that, he is very busy. I am working my bridal business, along with working at RiskMetrics (now MSCI). The bridal business is doing incredible and I couldn't be more blessed.

We are so thankful for our family and friends who have supported us and made this an incredible year, including making our wedding so incredible. Thank you all and we love you! Hugs!

I wanted to share just a few of our wedding pictures....
