       My name is Ivy and my story is not the typical, "I planned my own wedding so I decided to become a wedding planner." My story is made for Reality Television. Make sure you ask me how I became a wedding planner when we meet. The Silk Veil has been in business for 11 years and we have over 500 weddings planned/coordinated.

      Before becoming a wedding planner, I spent 15 years in Corporate America. Those jobs included working in claims, accounting, inventory and purchasing.  I received my  First Certification,  Certified Bridal Consultant (PF/ABC), in 2008.  My Second Certification is a Certified Wedding Planner (AA-WP) which I received the following year.  I am trained to teach the Wedding Planning Course written by AA-WP (American Academy of Wedding Professionals) In 2010, I formed the first North Carolina Chapter of the National Organization AAWP and  I am their first NC President. I am RASP certified, ServSafe Certified, and  a member of  AA-WP (American Academy of Wedding Professionals) and ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) The Silk Veil  also produces Informative Bridal Shows via Charlotte Area Bridal shows.
