Getting to Know Your Handpicked Host | Baci Designer

The Who:  Amanda Cursaro, Stationery and Event Designer.  You might also see Ilario - my hubby and Baci's technology guru, Jami - my sister and Assistant Stylist, Caitlin - Baci's Assistant Stylist, Brigit - Baci's Styling Intern and Alyssa - Baci's Graphic Design Intern :o)

The What:  I love making things pretty, it's as simple as that :o)  It all started with my own wedding, almost seven years ago (Wow, how did that happen??), when my passion for beautiful paper pieces and a personalized wedding style evolved into what is know today as Baci Designer.  I love getting to know my clients on a personal level and creating a wedding design that perfectly reflects them.  I also adore getting to work with so many other talented individuals in the industry!

In my down time (Down time?  What's that, lol!), I enjoy reading magazines and watching the latest movie snuggled on the couch with my hubby, our giant cat Morris and our little man, Greyson.  We are expecting Baby #2 in late July and are thrilled to be adding to our family!

The Why:  Since moving back to Northeast Ohio from Charlotte, North Carolina in 2008, I've felt the local area deserved more - more credit for the presence of truly talented wedding vendors who believe that each wedding should be unique to the couple getting married and not just what is expected of them.  The vendors who aren't "wedding factories", but instead believe in thinking outside of the box for each and every event.  Handpicked is here to showcase those fabulous vendors!

S'mores Bar Inspiration

There will be so much amazing food at the Handpicked Event, and one of the delicious camp-inspired deserts will be our s'mores bar! From the classic marshmallow and Hershey bar to Nutella and Reese's cups, this dessert will be one to remember! We love the fun feel of this, and cannot wait to make s'mores of our own :o)
