new seattle office!

As some of you may or may not know we have been working out of a home office for the past two years since starting Tessa Kim birdcage veils and accessories. In this past year our business has quadrupled and it was time for a larger space. We were so lucky to find an office space literally a block from our new home in Seattle so we jumped on the opportunity as soon as a space opened up. We move in February 1st and hope to have everything set up and ready by mid February and be able to take studio visits for all of our Seattle Brides. We are so excited to share this news and it is just the beginning, we have much more to share this coming year! Thank you everyone for your continued support <3
