If you’ve been to visit us lately, you’ve definitely seen this smiling face. Amber joined the Refined Team two months ago and we can’t remember what life was like before her. You’ll be seeing a lot more of her in the coming weeks, both in the boutique and on social media. I know you’ll love her as much as I do ❤️❤️ * * * #plussizebride #plussizeweddingdress #plussizeweddingdressideas #plussizebridalgown #plussizeweddingdressinspiration #plussizebridallook #plussizebridalfashion #plussizebridalideas #curvybride #curvyweddingdressideas#birminghambride #birminghamwedding #alabamabride #alabamawedding #montgomerybride #montgomerywedding #tuscaloosabride #tuscaloosawedding #huntsvillebride #huntsvillewedding #therefinedgals 
Having now spent more than a decade in the wedding industry, I’ve had the privilege of seeing some of the absolute best mother / daughter relationships. Some of which, unbeknownst to them, have been an incredible inspiration to the relationship I hope to have with my own daughter through the years. 💕 Mother’s Day is simultaneously one of the best and hardest days for me. Four years ago I became a Momma through the incredibly selfless act of our Birthmother, who will forever be my hero. And even though I became a Momma through adoption, I am still working through 14 years (and counting) of infertility and loss. 💕 For some, the relationship with their mother is wonderful. For some, it’s one of the most difficult relationships to navigate. For some, the day is full of reminders of losing their mother. And for many, it’s a reminder of empty arms and a longing heart. 💕 Being a mother is much more than something biological. Whatever this day brings for you, let’s raise our glass for ALL of the women in our lives who have been there when we needed them most and shaped us into who we are today - mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, godmothers, mentors, best friends. The legacy these women leave in the world is incredible. We wouldn’t be who we are without you.
