What is a Polka Dotted Bee?!
It’s common knowledge that bees are not biologically designed for flight. Kind of inspiring?
Despite expectations, they do what they do. During the planning process,
there will be a lot of constraints; from either people or your wallet.
They will tell you what you can and cannot do.
When this happens, just remember the humble bee! Polka Dots?
Well, polka dots are fun!
The Polka Dotted Bee is here to defy your wallet’s expectation of what
unique invitations can cost, and hopefully, have some fun a long the way.
The Bee was born in 2011, when I was planning my own wedding.
I made and styled my own things, which I really enjoyed.
My love for design and doodling took on a new life.
I knew in my heart that this was what I was meant to do, so without any delay,
I set up shop on Etsy to combat wedding withdrawal (yes, it’s real)!
The Polka Dotted Bee continued to grow and with it so did my family.
My husband and I welcomed our daughter , Natalie Clover into the world in 2012.
I said goodbye to my career in the financial services industry
and decided to follow my heart.
Like the bee, I decided it was time to fly.
The Bee is a very small business, indeed. I personally walk you through the ordering process,
design, create, assemble, package and produce every item that you receive.
What you receive from me is a product of my own hands.
It is very humbling to know that I have crafted items for thousands weddings (and counting)!
I am beyond lucky to be surrounded by love every single day.
I look forward to helping you create something special for your big day.
With love,
Ashley Smith
