When planning a branding shoot @Marissa Brennan how do you make it look so… CEO? I love your creative style turning it into professional CEO energy and I NEED that without it looking… tacky/cringe haha! What are some must have shots? What are some Pinterest searches I can look into? I don’t want it to feel like a copy and paste like every other bridal pro, or too stiff like im selling real estate 😅 (no shade) Any tips help 💗 TIA

Hiiii, I have been having brides + wedding planners inquire for their brides for services and every time they inquire for my middle package (bride +4) they seem to be confused. How do I make it out to be more clear for them? Should I make a post on IG clarifying my 3 packages and their benefit? 🌸Here’s a response from a wedding planner recently: “Hey! I just wanted to clarify…the she’s dazzling says it includes 4 additional girls for hair? But the email says it’s $100 for any additional girls, is that after 4?” Which I then removed the extra wording as to not continue with confusing anyone else 🌸Then today I get a bride say: “Good morning, I just want to clarify when you say “4 of your besties” is that four girls or me the bride and 3 girls?” My “she’s dazzling” bridal package is for bride + 4 and on my ‘what’s included in this package’ clearly states “bridal styling, preview styling, styling for 4 guests” etc. Please help 🙃

Hiii, I’ve a handful of brides that are out of state brides who are getting married in the PNW. My 3 packages include a preview, however in the past I’ve been more lenient on giving them the option to not get a preview due to the timeframe they’ll be in town. However, I don’t want to do that for the 2026 wedding season because I end up loosing out of money ($300). Should I create an Out of state bridal package? Or should I just stick with my packages and say “sorry packages are as is” (obviously in a nicer tone/way) Thanks!!

Dubsado users: Now, I know we all can see when our contract is viewed and when its just sitting there collecting dust and moving to the 2nd page of our brides email list. Is it overstepping if I reach her via text and say like, "hey girlfriend, Alaska here with AGB I received your inquiry looking for your bridal hair BFF. I sent your proposal via email, make sure to check your spam folder..." etc. or is that too invasive? haha. I want to make sure they are aware that an email has been sent with a proposal. OR should I just stay with email notification and my follow up emails?

I did a comparison from my 2024 👉2025 and here’s what’s new: 🤍im getting more inquiries — yay! 🤩 🤍conversion dipped slightly (2024: 35% to 2025: 29%) but that’s because I increased my prices so my new audience is adjusting lol.. — also a yay 🤩 🤍my “out of their budget” inquires dropped percentage wise so I went from 23% in 2024 to 9% in 2025 — yay! 🤩 💔 need to work on getting ghosted… less. In 2024 I was getting ghosted 54% and in 2025 I was getting ghosted 66% How do I know my follow ups are working properly? I have the same set up from BBA 2023. Do brides want more, instant info after they submit an inquiry? Like instead of sending them the courtesy email of “here are my admin days, let’s connect on IG in the meantime” should I be sending an overview of my packages and list dates I’m available so they know what to expect from my next email? Help!
