A Savvy Bride is Born!

Savvy (adj.) “Well-informed, perceptive.”

Hi, I’m Meg Thornton, and I'd like to welcome you to The Savvy Bride, a brand new wedding and event style boutique. From here forward, this will be the home for the Savvy Blog and upcoming Savvy Weddings and Events website. This site represents an extension of the year-old "My Cleveland Wedding blog"--my personal wedding planning blog that amassed a readership of more than 300 visitors a day. Soon the more than 200 wedding planning posts on that blog--a wealth of helpful information-- will be archived here.

Savvy Blog will be a daily read offering quick tips and creative ideas as it pertains to the world of wedding and event planning. The Savvy website will be home to my new planning firm, offering wedding style and consulting services nationwide.

What I Believe

The key to indelible events are in the details.

I believe you can have the wedding of your dreams and not bust the bank to make it happen. Whatever your budget, Savvy will make your dream day a reality by securing high quality vendors and getting the absolute most out of your dollars and making your budget work for you.

It's called Savvy planning…and it extends far beyond style.

It means being smart, innovative and resourceful with your dollars.

About the Bride-to-be

Welcome!

For the next 365 or so days this is where I will share anything and everything related to my wedding journey. A very little about me: Born and raised in suburban Cleveland, Ohio (Shaker Heights for those who will know) and now, 25 years later I am living and working in Washington, D.C.

During my 25 years I've done a lot... I think. I've been a rebel...dated the bad guys...went to college....lived in very rural appalachian Ohio...been an activist...lived and worked in Dayton, Ohio....lived and worked in New York City...wrote for two daily newspapers...been a television news reporter...

And now here I am in the nation's capital--the mommy of a fierce two-year-old and a fiance to my high school sweetheart-- working for the betterment of the environment and doing my part to influence policy to make that happen.

And now, although it is exactly one year and four days away, I am WELL into planning the most exciting day of my life: my wedding--to kick off the most exciting part of my life: a lifelong commitment and partnership with my love and bestest buddy:)
