Happy Tuesday lovely brides! I am excited to introduce you to Handy Dandy Productions!    James Worsham, Handy Dandy designer and owner, has had 10 years of design experience. Whether it’s creating fabulous art installations for Anthropologie, custom furniture and sculptures, or designing for events, James can transform any space or idea into a real piece of art. Wedding 101 is ecstatic to be the catalyst for helping Handy Dandy Productions branch out into the Nashville wedding industry. 

Meet James!
1. Why do you do what you do? I’m pretty much obsessed building things. From sculpture, to furniture to interiors, I’ve gotta be creating something new, otherwise it just rattles around in my head and drives me crazy. It’s my therapy. 

2.  What is a fun fact about you? I am utterly notorious for my super cheesy jokes and singing while I work. 

3.  What are three adjectives that describe your style? Sophisticated, rustic and innovative.

4.  If you could design/plan a celebrity’s wedding, who would it be? Lady Gaga…though I would have no idea where to start. 

5.  What is your favorite song to dance to? Robyn’s Call Your Girlfriend, because if you’ve seen the video, you know much talent it requires (zero).

6. Favorite past time or hobby? I spend all of my free time in my studio building furniture, or playing with new materials.

While James is new in the wedding world, here is just a little teaser of some of the fabulous designs he has done in the past.

Be sure to like Handy Dandy Productions on Facebook to keep up with what’s happening as he starts his adventure in the wedding world!

Hello all of you brides-to-be!

Congratulations on this exciting time of your life!  When I think back to my wedding preparation, fourteen years ago, I can remember all of the joys.  I can remember the celebrations, the dreams, the planning, and the excitement.  I remember registering for gifts, attending showers that friends had planned, and the fun that came preparing each intimate wedding detail.  Details that I had waited my whole life to plan!
