There once was a time...

Hello Friends!

It's been awhile, I know, and I apologize.  I find that I do a lot of apologizing lately, when it comes to Ruffles & Rouge. So, I think it's time for me to clarify what Ruffles & Rouge is now....  You see there once was a time when I was all about Ruffles & Rouge.  Styling weddings, coordinating weddings, doing makeup for weddings~that's all I did...and loved it.  And then life changed, for the better!!!  We had a baby, and as most of you know, those little boogers seem to change EVERYTHING.  My priorities changed, my passions changed and ultimately, my focus changed.  It was no longer all about weddings.  It became all about Chandler and spending time as a family. And this new focus has been awesome!

But wait~what about Ruffles & Rouge? Well, I still love weddings, but the business has evolved into something that is more personal to me.  It is now functioning in a way which allows me to make time for my new interests, while freeing up more weekends to be with those I love the most.  With that being said, I will still do make up with my wonderful team of hair stylists (mostly in the spring months) and I will still do a bit of styling with my favorite photographers.  So, R&R still exists, we are still out there, just in a different capacity.

I will also keep posting on this blog and update you on the fun things we have been doing and ESPECIALLY info about The Peach Petticoat~which has been a blast!  

So, if you need to reach me about beauty and/or styling services, you can email me at: rufflesnrouge@gmail.com or you can visit our NEW URL www.rufflesnrouge.com and "Give Us A Shout" directly through the site!

All My Best~Shanna

Flea Market Decor Magazine Feature!

Hello Friends!

We have had a very busy January and February with the planning of Chandler's 2nd birthday party and a trip to DISNEY WORLD!  So, to say Corey and I need a vacation from our vacation is an understatement.  But, hopefully all that back story may explain my delay in sharing this very exciting post with you guys.  

I received a call back in early Fall last year from a lady named Kathleen Birmingham from Flea Market Decor Magazine.  She is a free-lance writer who was interested in some of the weddings and inspirations shoots that I have designed over the past couple of years.  The events focused on my love for incorporating my "junk" into these affairs, as well as helping brides carry on traditions and incorporating family history into their big day!

So, with this interview came the article pictured here in the current March/April 2014 issue of Flea Market Decor.  And may I say~it is opportunities like this, that make me delight in the fact that I have the pleasure of working with the ever-so-talented Julie Roberts!  So a HUGE THANK YOU JULIE for including me in this little gem that I will always cherish!

Happy Designing~
