Hi! My name is Hillarie Kay and I own a Marketing and Operations Boutique Agency. My passion is helping small businesses succeed with the help of solid marketing and operations tactics. When I met Laura, I instantly fell in love with her southern charm. She truly embodies what you see on her blog. Talk about someone authentic.
Authenticity is becoming harder and harder to find in this social media-driven world, but for the group of us who are, I think there is an underlying fear about how we can possibly stand out and brand ourselves authentically and uniquely.

2015 has been an interesting year for sure! The blog got a little face lift, and I added some additional content areas. With major health issues, a big move, and licensure exam studying going on in my personal life, posting has not been quite as frequent, but I have still greatly enjoyed having Trés Belle as my creative outlet. As a recap, here were the most popular posts on the blog in 2015! Starting with number 5:
5. These personalized champagne flutes, which make such a lovely bridal party gift!
Hi there everyone! Big news coming at you today that has been a long time in the making: Wedding Belles Blog has become Trés Belle, a more comprehensive lifestyle blog that addresses not only weddings, but other aspects of the Southern belle life (as well as more personal reflections from my ownself!). Don’t worry, though…Wedding Belles isn’t going away! You can find the Wedding Belles section of Trés Belle on the top navigation menu on the site, where I will continue to bring you wedding planning inspiration, tips, and tricks. I am beyond excited about the blog’s transformation (or perhaps evolution is a better word?) and can’t wait to see what you think about the new content.
xoxo Laura
P.S. – I have now linked my Instagram account to the site, so be sure to come follow me to catch up on my latest adventures!
Hello belles and beaus! This is a special post in honor of Cristina over at Grace Like Rain, who nominated me for the Liebster Award. Y’all may remember Cristina…her stunning bridal portraits were recently featured on the blog! Apparently, the Liebster Award began in the blogosphere sometime around 2010 and is a way for bloggers to share other’s blogs so that ultimately, everyone is discovering new blogs and sharing the love. Well, you know how I feel about love…I’m all in!
