Lindsey Maurath – Fresh Lime EventsI’ve been following Lindsey on Twitter for a while now and have fallen in love with her work. The Fresh Lime Events planning team has put together some amazing events some of which can be seen on her website and her blog.
What inspired you to start your company?
Ever since I can remember I have been a planner, an organizer and a list maker – even as a kid. I was always the one getting assignments done early, making sure things were color-coded and in place. At the same time, I found myself getting a little more creative year after year and I started to really take an interest in flowers. I love flowers! I was living in Baltimore and working in marketing for large corporations and new it just wasn’t for me. I thought about how I could marry my logistical skills with my creative side and looked at event planning! I started working for one of Maryland’s great wedding planners and loved every minute of it. I worked for her until we moved to Connecticut in January of 2008. It was the perfect time to break off on my own and as they say, the rest is history. I now have Fresh LiME Events and love every minute of it.
What wedding trends are you currently loving?
I absolutely love the fact that we’re seeing dresses come off the runways and into main stream. Alexander McQueen designed this amazing (!) feather wedding dress and it is to die for. Feathers are also another one of my big things right now. The fact that you can use them in anything makes them really versatile. Hopefully it’s not a trend [because trends usually die], but I love that couples are making their wedding days to be more about the guests’ experience as well. Destination weddings are great for incorporating several different events into the week or weekend of the wedding. And they’re so much fun.
