HELLO!
My name is Heather and I was the editor of a successful wedding blog from October 2008 until March 2015. In my time as the editor and founder of Style Unveiled, I learned many tips and tricks that are extremely valuable and helpful to any online endeavor. I reached a point where I was ready to move on to the next step in digital and online marketing and decided to retire from being the face of a blog to being a supportive presence for other blogs and wedding professionals to give their online presence a boost!
Below is a bit about me.
