meet jenn
Let me introduce myself… My name is Jennifer Cole. I’m a wife, mom of 5 amazing grown kids, crazy chicken lady (30+ chickens), cook, gardener, canning enthusiast, “Nonnie” to my Granddaughter, Emma, and Hairstylist of 30 + years.
I’ve always enjoyed decorating and I especially LOVE Christmas Decor! My husband and I used to have a little gift shop/home decor store called “The Funky Rooster” here in Texarkana, Texas. So of course I had a blast decorating the store for Christmas- which led to customers asking me if I would be willing to decorate their homes for Christmas. Long story short… I decided to give it a try and became known as “The Christmas Fairy”
Fast forward 5 years… a good friend approached me about decorating her daughter’s wedding, to which I initially thought, “No Way”! I cannot decorate a wedding!! But after talking with her at length, I worked up the courage to say “yes” and give it my best effort! Surprisingly, I absolutely LOVED it! Two weeks later, I decorated another wedding and realized I had found my passion!
1 year later, I had a storage building packed with wedding decor and a calendar full of weddings booked. I feel so blessed to have “accidentally“ gotten into the wedding biz. I have met so many amazing people I now call friends! We have grown to a team of planners, coordinators, designers, content creators and many amazing assistants! Scroll down to meet our team.
