We adore them and their blogs, so we're excited to help you get to know them a little better! Today we're chatting with Desiree Hartsock, the blogger behind Desiree Hartsock

Where do you live/work? Seattle 

When did you start your blog? January 2014 

What inspired you to start your blog? Why do you do what you do? With 8+ years of bridal experience and 4+ years of design experience, I have a passion for weddings and everything bridal. I want to help brides be inspired and creative for their own weddings. I also want them to have a place to read inspirational lifestyle quotes or a place to find new products. 

Tell us about your wedding! What's your point of view? Who is your bride? Vintage, creative, bold, carefree, and confident. My bride likes personal details and dances to her own drum. Doesn't follow trends per se, but still enjoys creative fashion and unique weddings.
