Meet Marcie Muehlke, owner and creator of
Celia Grace Fair Trade and Eco Wedding Dresses.

What was the best wedding gift you received?

We created a custom registry with SoKind Registry and asked for gifts of help at the wedding as well as art and "getaway" time at people's second homes. It was amazing: guilt-free super helpers at the wedding and a year of free vacations!

What's the best advice you give to a couple about their wedding day?

Before you start planning, think about how you want to feel and how you want your guests to feel.  Then work from there - it is so easy to let a checklist drive wedding planning rather than the most important thing: the experience you and your guests get to have together.

I also highly recommend A Practical Wedding - the book and the blog.  It's such great resources for wonderfully sane wedding planning.

What's your favorite moment when working with a couple?

Getting pictures back after the wedding and seeing the bride just radiating beauty, happiness, confidence, fulfillment and love.

What makes you different from other professionals in your field?

Not only do brides look stunning in our gorgeous gowns but they also feel radiant. That is because they are part of a closed loop of women helping women around the world through our giveback gowns.
