Mother
Congratulations. You’re little one isn’t so little anymore and whether you’re about to be the mother-of-the-bride, or the mother-of-the groom, it’s a big day for you, too. Yet it’s probably a little different from the time when you were married.
Think back. What was your mother’s role? How did she handle it? Chances are, your mother did most of the planning. Today, it’s almost the reverse. Your daughter or son will most likely take the lead, while you become his or her number one advocate.
From choosing your dress to developing a guest list, it will be quite a busy time for you. As a team we make it our responsibility to pay attention to every detail, have a thoughtful answer to every question and, perhaps, most of all, be a calming influence. Especially for mothers.
At Cescaphe, we consider it a privilege to bring your son or daughter’s vision to life, but we will hear your opinion and respect your judgement. We’ll be there for you when you need a hand preparing, or would just like a shoulder to lean on.
Years from now, when you reflect upon the wedding, we hope that it will be remembered as one of the best times of your life.
