Lace is recognized in -THE KNOT BEST OF WEDDING MAGAZINE

Annual Survey of Recently Married Couples in St. Louis, Missouri

Lace is pleased to announce it has been selected as a 2008­­ Pick for The Knot Best of Weddings magazine, a coast-to-coast, by-brides-for-brides guide to the top wedding sites, photographers, florists, and more in over 40 key cities across the United States published by The Knot Inc. (www.theknot.com), the #1 wedding website and most trusted wedding resource.

The Knot conducted its second annual survey of over 20,000 recent brides to capture detailed feedback on every business that couples hired for their wedding celebration.

St. Louis newlyweds contributed their raves and reviews on the area’s wedding professionals. The newlyweds were asked to rate their vendors on multiple criteria, from creativity to professionalism, and to comment on their experiences. The resulting ratings—and detailed feedback—were aggregated by the editors of The Knot to create this one-of-a-kind publication highlighting the best wedding resources in each region according to local brides. The survey was administered by Harris Interactive.

“We are so excited to receive this accolade and want to thank all our brides who voted for us.”

We hope you will join us in celebrating this tremendous accolade.
Sincerely, Gina Kelly - Owner of Lace
