Welcome to Beyond Blessed Weddings! This isn't just a wedding décor rental business—it's a faith-inspired company dedicated to glorifying God and blessing couples as they celebrate their Holy union!

HOW IT BEGAN

Beyond Blessed Weddings is a division of Art Mind and Soul LLC, founded in 2021. This journey began after I attended a Kingdom wealth-building seminar where I heard God say, “You have nothing I can bless.” In that moment, He revealed that He wanted to rain blessings on me, but I needed to build something He could use. That’s when He gave me the vision for Art, Mind, & Soul LLC.

While the business was established in 2021, my core faith beliefs were formed and the seeds of this journey were planted years earlier. In 2018, my life was transformed during a medical storm where God showed up in miraculous ways. I had several supernatural encounters with Him. In one of them I saw a vision of scenes from the Bible and heard Him speak four powerful truths to me:

1. The Bible is 100% true.

2. God is good all the time.

3. Problems have arisen from misinterpretations.

4. We must return to the Source (meaning the original languages and manuscripts of God's Word)

These encounters strengthened my faith, helped me understand the depth of His love for me, and they shifted my life’s priorities. For the first time, I fully surrendered to God, committing to put Him first in everything I do.

THE VISION FOR BEYOND BLESSED WEDDINGS

In 2023, God called me to step away from my 28-year career as a junior and senior high art teacher. I retired early, moved to North Carolina, and soon after, He gave me the vision for this Kingdom-minded wedding décor rental business. I realized that God was aligning my passions with His plan to bless others.

You see, back in 2017 I discovered how much I loved transforming spaces through artistic décor when I was in charge of designing for a prom with the theme “Four Seasons.” Over the years, I also created bouquets and corsages for my sons’ dances, which became another creative outlet I truly enjoyed. After the prom, I remember telling God, “This was so much fun—I wish I could do this for a living instead of teaching!” Little did I know, He was planting seeds for this business even then.

Through Beyond Blessed Weddings, God has fulfilled the desires of my heart, just as scripture promises. It’s my joy to use these creative gifts to honor Him and bless couples on one of the most important days of their lives.

When I asked God what kind of business He wanted this to be, His answer was clear: “For Kingdom prosperity.” This isn’t just about giving generously financially towards the advancement of His Kingdom—it’s about sharing His love, reflecting His goodness, and blessing others as He has abundantly blessed me--which might not be how you expect! (I describe how He has blessed me in THIS INTERVIEW with Coria Brock of Life of Christ Ministries as part of their Discovering Your True Identity in Christ YouTube series.)

MORE THAN A BUSINESS

Beyond Blessed Weddings is a reflection of my faith, a form of artistic expression, and an act of worship for me. Every floral arrangement, artistic piece, and décor collection is prayerfully and thoughtfully designed in partnership with the Holy Spirit. As I create, I often talk to God and sing worship songs, inviting His presence into the process. I also pray for the couples and individuals who will feature these pieces in their weddings or events, asking that God guides and blesses them throughout their lives. My deepest hope is that every detail of this business brings glory to God and beautifully honors the sacred covenant of marriage.

As Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) reminds us, “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.” I truly believe this business is a big part of the "good things" He has called me to, and I am humbled and grateful for the opportunity to serve Him through it.

Thank you for allowing me the honor of being part of your wedding or event journey. My prayer is that this business blesses you abundantly as you prepare for your special day. May God’s love and grace shine upon you always!

In His Love,
