About Us
Throughout our lives, we go through different passages, or markers in time, which affect us greatly.
Many of these passages change our lives profoundly. Births, deaths, separation
from loved ones, times of war and of course, marriage, create an increased
pressure; many times stressful, but when the day arrives, we discover it
to be a time of great joy and blessed anticipation. Within our own lives,
we had a recent marriage of one of our children. During the time of preparation,
considering many choices, discovering likes and dislikes, and making final
decisions, there was an item that eluded us; the infamous wedding favor.
One would think; how can that be? But, unfortunately, it is oh so true,
(as many wedding planners will attest). That small item which sits in
front of everyone for the entire reception, is either immediately thrown
in the pail, or is kept and seen for years to come as a remembrance of
that very special day.
We literally spent months scouring the internet, local wedding centers,
floral shops and department stores. What did we find? Small frames, almonds
wrapped in tulle, small candles, and a host of other non-essential and
unwanted items that we were to spend a large sum of money on to fill many
garbage cans.
So, what did we do? We did what the majority of the world looking for
event favors does; we bought one of the above and gritted our teeth while
doing it. But, as amazing as it seems, it truly impacted us. After that
experience, we made a promise to ourselves, that when our remaining two
children were to be married, that we would give their guests a wedding
favor that they would cherish and forever keep as a heart-felt remembrance
of those shared moments.
We spent hours upon hours investigating products and websites; perusing
catalogs and investigating products sold by mail order. Finally, after
much effort and deliberation, we decided to create our own website, Designs
To Remember, and fill it with unique, imported bottles and fillings that
anyone would be proud to give to their guests.
Life is short. And each and every day we create new memories as we go
from passage to passage. Some memories we record on film, others just
on our hearts. And marriage is a very important part of an all important
passage. Allow us to help you make this special event into a cherished
moment, and a part of your life that will be with you for years to come.
So from us to you, always remember, at Designs To Remember, your design
helps create a lasting memory. All our best to you and you’re loved
ones on this very special day.
P.S. By the way, the picture of the bride and groom, that’s our
daughter Jenna and her husband Richie. Hope you don’t mind…wanted
to share that with you.
