Customized Wedding Creations
Words by Jennifer Stein There's nothing better than walking into your office first thing in the morning and having boxes of swag waiting for you. Although the publishing world has crazy deadlines, long hours and times of stress, there are some definite perks to the business. Swag is one of those perks.When the swag is customized, it's even better. Below is the gorgeous hand-made crystal adorned customized parasol I found waiting for me on my desk.
The creator of this beautiful design is Customized Wedding Creations, owned and operated by Cherin Szul. Cherin was inspired to start her business back in 2007 when she began looking for a unique aisle runner for her own ceremony. "I wanted a dramatic statement that showed my creative personality and unique flair. The best option was to hand-paint my wedding monogram on a runner and line it with a satin ribbon border. It was stunning! After my wedding, I began to show my work to other brides and word quickly spread."
Now Cherin's company creates aisle runners, customized banners, parasols (both rice and nylon) as well as table drapes.

Thanks for my lovely parasol Cherin...I have it proudly on display in my office. However, I'll admit, it takes every bit of willpower to not dance around with it singing songs from Mary Poppins!
