Hello! My name is Pat Brethauer and I am married to hubby Karl and together we have three grown children. (Matthew, Andrew and April)  During their younger years I was a stay home mom that worked occasionally and part time doing "books" for businesses.  To keep busy (with the kids) I got very involved with Scouting and other volunteer projects. 

After the kids went off to school I dabbled in a couple of "online" businesses.  (Thanks to my boys for teaching me all I needed to know)  My first online venture was www.sarniasports.com which I still continue to do today.  After that I created www.sarniaweddings.com . After several years of being an online business for wedding planning I took the next step - or should say took a giant leap and opened my own store. 

My first location was on London Rd. that turned out not to be the greatest, so when I found the location in Northgate I took the chance and moved there and officially opened in September 2009.

With the new move my store took on a "theme".


First comes love...........

I always loved working with flowers and went back to school and became a "certified floral designer". Sarnia Weddings now offers flowers for all occasions.  (not just weddings).  Sarnia Weddings also has a selection of unique gifts.

Then comes marriage.........

The original concept of the store was a wedding planning and information centre. I offer a free wedding planner (an 8 1/2 by 11 binder that is loaded with lots of local information and of course a wedding planner with tips and advice that will help the bride to be plan their own wedding.

Then comes baby in a baby carriage........

This completes the triangle.  The baby division started after shopping with my Niece Stacy Barill.  The picture you see in my logo is a picture of her son.  (he's a cutie eh?) :) 

In the Baby section I will be on the lookout for wonderful selection of baby clothing and gifts!  I'll keep you up to date with "'new arrivals" each month in the Sarnia Weddings Babies Newsletter.

Welcome to my world I hope you enjoy our upcoming series of Newsletters.  Your comments and suggestions are most welcomed!
