Simple Country Weddings
Picking a location for your event is just half the battle of planning a day celebrating your love. Another step is decorating.
A few months ago, I had been researching country inspired event décor for a Country Western Dance that we are hosting in Old Sacramento – upon days of Pinterest board and Google searching, I finally hit the jackpot when came across Simple Country Weddings.
Within 24 hours of submitting a contact form, Ramona Arnold, the owner of Simple Country Weddings, contacted me and I was able to make an appointment to view her showroom. Located in Rancho Cordova, her showroom is inviting and attractively organized. With a list of products on hand, I was able to walk through her showroom at my own pace without feeling pressured. From varieties of uniquely decorated mason jars to distressed furniture, windows and even some fun chalkboard signs I was beyond impressed and even more excited to work with Simple Country Weddings. Not only do they provide event planning services but for a more budget conscious bride, they also provide styling services. That means, you can rent, buy, or make your decor (for the crafty brides), but their staff will come and add the finishing touch. If you are a bride, or simply planning your next get-together, Simple Country Weddings provides high quality products at reasonable prices. Not to mention, their staff is both kind-hearted and creative.
