Welcome to the Blue Orchid Designs blog! My name is Liene (and in case you're wondering, it's pronounced Lynn) and I am the founder of Blue Orchid Designs, a wedding planning firm with consultants in Arizona, New York, and Washington DC. I also own The Smart Planner™, a company that provides business resources and coaching for professional wedding consultants. Some of my favorite things include candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach. Oops, sorry! Wrong intro.

In all seriousness, we're glad you've stopped by our blog! We love weddings. We love people. And we really love pretty things. So we dish about all of the above here at the Blue Orchid Designs blog. Our blogging style is direct, pragmatic and fun. If the dress isn't your most flattering style, we'll tell you. We'll also be the ones wearing waterproof mascara on your wedding day because chances are very high that we will mist up when you walk down that aisle. So, pour yourself your favorite beverage and come join us! We are just a little bit addicting, if we do say so ourselves.
