From pop-ups to a gorgeous storefront, what a year it’s been for ＧＥＯＲＧＥＴＴＥ! Our First Mates had the honor to help celebrate Georgette’s first anniversary and storefront showcase with a ribbon cutting.
Guests got a look of the bridal boutique, explored wedding inspo mood boards; and learned about an exciting new chapter: full-service wedding planning and day-of coordination!
Congratulations to Georgette on an incredible first year!
