My Heart Would Burst...Seriously.

As a few of you already know, (and have been so supportive with) the ballot is out for Wisconsin Bride Magazine’s ‘BEST OF’ 2014! Do you know what a crazy honor it would be to receive ‘Best of Invitations’ for this? IT WOULD BE CRAZY. Voting ends on March 2nd, so there is just less than a week to show your support/blow my mind/make my heart burst...seriously. 

I am so grateful, blessed, and quite frankly humbled, by the amount of love and support I have received from my family, friends, and clients.  This past year has been a ridiculously amazing journey, filled with lots of laughs, lots of glitter, and lots of lessons. Though I may have been in the wedding industry for some time, taking the leap to owning and operating my own small biz has been the scariest and best decision I’ve made.  I wouldn’t trade the experiences and relationships I have gained for anything, let alone the awesome benefits of working in my pjs (and no one knowing if I didn’t shower. Shhhhh.). 

This vote would mean the world to me. Really. To even be considered is a huge honor!

Would you mind taking 2 minutes of your time and casting your vote here? Just put ‘Andra Delores Design’ in for ‘Top of Tiara’ and ‘Best Invitations,’ and my day/week/year will be made.  Also, you need to vote for a total of 6 other vendors, so if you need any ideas, don’t hesitate to shoot me an email (hello@andradeloresdesign.com).  I know a lot of amazing vendors that would appreciate the vote as well!

So many hugs to you all right now. xoxo.

Be loved.

And remember, profits from this movement don't go to me...they go directly to the A21 Campaign, an organization that is actively protecting and preventing victims of human trafficking.  Their mission is to exist in order to abolish slavery in the 21st century...something that my heart is very passionate about. You can always check out their website and learn more about them here.

Internship Positions Available!

Like weddings? Lots of glitter? Sometimes wearing your slippers to work? You might be just the right fit.

Andra Delores Design is looking for two interns to work 5-10 hours/week. We are a custom wedding stationery & design studio based in good ol’ Eau Claire, Wisconsin...and we pride ourselves in the ultimate client experience when it comes to stationery (no cookie cutter stuff going on over here!). 

Like what you see? Read further:

Position #1: Office Manager

I am looking for a responsible & conscientious cheerleader/office manager, who is passionate about the wedding industry. We are a small business with a growing client list that requires a lot of attention and organization. Office Manager duties would consist of:

-Writing and posting blog posts

-Writing and scheduling monthly newsletter

-Keeping up on social media

-Scheduling and attending bridal fairs and shows

-Project management 

The ideal candidate will be a skilled communicator and writer who has that extra oomph for the personal details. You need to be self motivated with excellent time management skills, and organization/attention to detail are a must! You also must be able to bring your own laptop computer to work with you each day. 

*If you are a list-making queen, that’s an added bonus.

Position #2: Assistant Designer

Just dying for the opportunity to work and design in the wedding industry? Cool. Let’s be friends.   Design duties would consist of:

-Assisting on edits

-Helping to jump start new projects

-Graphic Design/ layout projects

I am looking for someone who is a good listener, quick learner and a problem solver. This person will be my right hand person when it comes to graphic design and visual design assistance. You’ll be doing lots of switching between projects, so creativity is a must.  You must also own your own laptop computer and adobe suites software (illustrator, photoshop, and indesign). 

*Added bonus if you also have mad photography skillz.

If you have any interest in learning how a small business works, either of these positions would be a great opportunity to get involved. You’ll have your hand in the business and will be an integral part of it’s growth and success. Plus, you will have the opportunity to attend wedding industry meetings and network with other wedding professionals. Um, hello awesomeness! I’m looking for two individuals who are self-motivated and professional, and are passionate about all-things-wedding. 

Because of the small nature of this business, the right attitude, personality and sense of humor are just as important as background and experience. The office is a home studio in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, so you must have your own transportation. The start date would be ASAP. 

Since these are internships, the hours are totally flexible. These are also unpaid internships, but I can speak from experience when I say:

"the outcome of investing yourself in something like this is priceless" 

Please send your resume, links or a PDF of your work and a cover letter that best showcases your personality to hello@andradeloresdesign.com

*ps- We can definitely chat college internship credit, if that is something you are interested in!
