What makes me stand out in what I do? I create and hand make unique, one of a kind signature platters. I use a special painting technique that gives the design dimension. My custom wedding platters are an affordable wedding day keepsake and art piece .

What’s the favorite part of my work? Custom work is always a challenging experience, which I love, because it forces me outside of my comfort zone and allows me to be creative. Also, I truly enjoy working with a bride to create a platter that I know will become a cherished wedding day keepsake.

What do I like to do in my spare time: Pilates, Yoga, Watching Comedy television or movies, Painting inspirational art pieces and hanging with my Bijon Frise – Sushi.

What charity am I supporting and why: ASPCA!!!

1) Up to 10 pieces of advice you’d give a bride when considering your product for a guest book or how to work together to achieve the final look.
What do you think you will do with your guest book once the wedding is passed? A signature platter becomes an instant decorative reminder of your special day.
What design do you want in the middle? A custom design can really represent the wedding day and the couple. Ex. Wedding Colors, Invitation design, Representation of something the couple enjoys doing together.

2) Also, we’d love for you to chat about the different ways a bride can use your product and what design or style is popular right now.
The platter is both a decorative and functional piece that can be displayed on a plate stand or used to serve hors d’ouvres or cheese and crackers…making a great party conversation piece. Currently my most popular design is the double linked hearts, the destination wedding palm trees and the cartoon like bride and groom with or without the bridal party, but mostly I receive custom design orders. A custom design really makes the platter extra special.

This is such an adorable idea for your destination or tropical wedding, what a wonderful keepsake.

You can have Traci match the design on your wedding invitation to continue your wedding theme.

This is a simple design that would work great for any wedding, keep in mind that if you want a simple design like this one, you could choose colors that match your wedding.
