Hi Cherie,
I wanted to thank you and your mother for being so helpful when I was planning my wedding. I was browsing your website because a girlfriend of mine is getting married and I wanted to come in to get a few things for her. Also, her mom has been looking for a peignoir set and since you had such a beautiful selection, I referred her to your site. I didn't realize you do gown cleaning and preservation too! I will be making an appointment soon to have my gown preserved.
Thanks again for all your great advice and assistance.

Hi Kerrie!
Thank you for your nice compliments and referring your girlfriend's mom (btw, what is her name)? We have beautiful new lingerie and cute new accessories on the way for 2009!!
Just call me and let me know when you would like to bring in your wedding gown. Be sure to check it over for any serious wine, food, makeup, etc. stains before you arrive. I am looking forward to seeing you and catching up with things!! Hope your holidays were happy! Thank you again for your business and referral:-)
A Beautiful Touch is not a store, it's a home. From the moment you walk throught the door, Cheri and Cherie treat you like a member of their family and not a customer.
I lived at A Beautiful Touch for months leading up to my wedding. From the most amazing and readable calligraphy on my invitations, to sexy lingerie, flip flops, champagne glasses to cake cutters, this unique boutique has it all!

Hi Cat!
Thank you so much!! I am glad you felt welcome in our store and happy that we could take part in your special memories. Also, thank you for sending your picture for our "Wall of fame". We will display it proudly:-) I absolutely loved your beautiful wedding album!!! Thanks again for thinking of us and coming back to share your photos.
This is the best store ever!! I also lived here when I was planning my wedding! I rented the amazing bride to hold my cards at the wedding reception. Everyone thought it was so unique and had never seen anything like it before! It was a great conversation piece. I also bought gifts for my bridesmaids (which they loved).
I can't say enough about the owner Cherie. I felt like she was my big sister throughout the whole process. I would stay and talk to her for hours at a time! I even went back after I had my daughter. Cherie has adorable jewelry for the lil ones!
I couldn't get enough of the store, so now every year I have Cherie come to my house for a jewelry party! My friends always look forward to it because her jewelry is so unique and very affordable!

Hi Nicole!
I love your sweet thoughts and I am glad you felt like I was your big sister! That was cute:-) Speaking about big sisters, I look forward to you and your sister hosting a jewelry party every year. It is becoming a tradition! They are fun and successful for both of us and even more fun afterwards with the girly conversations:-)!! Thank you again for your business and friendship.
Hey Cherie!
I can't believe you know Chuck - what a small world! He just happened to mention to a friend on facebook about your store, and I told him how great both you and your mom were to me. Chuck is one of my favorite people in this world. I just adore him!
I have told so many people about your store. I hope that the thank you note that I sent to you and your mom really conveyed how I felt about my experience with you both. You truly made me feel special while I was getting ready for my special day. I always looked forward to coming into the store!
Our little girl is due in just 4 weeks - maybe sooner!! So I will have photos posted after she arrives and I am sure I will be in to buy something for her!

Hi Kellie!!
You are so right - what a small world. My mother and I are very fortunate that we get to meet people like you. We really do love helping "our" Brides prepare for their special day!
I can't wait to see pictures of your little bundle of joy when she makes her grand appearance:-) Also, I am looking forward to seeing you again. I wish you the very best and congratulations!!! This is an exciting time for you and hubby. Enjoy every moment!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cherie & Cheri and their amazing store. We met back in 2005 when I was planning my wedding. My mother, sister, grandmother, husband and I have visited A Beautiful Touch many times since our first visit and have been welcomed with open arms each time. Cherie & Cheri make you feel right at home and just like family. The store is great, with so many different options to choose from and ideas to help in the planning process. They also have a beautiful selection of jewelry and gift items, including baby items.
Cherie also started doing jewelry demonstrations, which are a lot of fun. I'm hoping to have another one this year! Everyone who attended enjoyed the beautiful jewelry and other gift items that were available.
A Beautiful Touch isn't just another store to shop at. From the moment you enter, until the time you leave, you are treated with such kindness and you seriously are made to feel like family.

Hi Gina!!
My mom and I love your entire family!!! You are very genuine and kind people. Your holiday jewelry party will always stand out in my memory...the festive Christmas lights and decorations, your warm and cozy home, your super friendly family and friends, the food... I could go on and on. I love South Philly!! We had a great time. I hope you are enjoying your beautiful jewelry and especially your gorgeous little Paolo!!!:-) What a cutie!! Say hi to everyone for me. Hope to see you soon:-)
Hi Cheri and Cherie,
Just wanted to thank you both for being so friendly and helpful during ALL the visits by my mom and I during the "Happy Wedding Planning" period. My mom and I had so much fun everytime we came and I feel like with each visit we looked around for hours and you were both so patient! Hope you enjoyed the thank you and pictures I sent. My new husband laughed that we got a thank you for the thank you! I truly loved it... You are both so thoughtful! I tell everyone I know that is getting married to visit! It is a MUST!!! Thanks ladies and I can't wait to come in and see my bridesmaids and I under the glass!!!! I know how many times I stood there staring at all those beautiful pictures as I made a zillion purchases.. Well, really my mom did the purchasing and I did the picking!!! It was great!!! Miss you ladies!! Kara Cooper-Johnston (married December 2009)
Hi Kara!
I was so happy to receive your beautiful pictures! Thank you for putting so much effort into your note and sending all the special photos! Your girls looked so pretty in their sparkly earrings and vibrant dresses and you looked absolutely radiant:-) I am looking forward to putting your photographs "under our glass" so they can be viewed by other Brides-to-be. My customers love to view all the different gowns, hair styles, bouquets, jewelry, etc.
I am so happy that you found your experience with us enjoyable and fun. That is what it is all about! Make sure you tell Mom "thank you" for buying all those fabulous Wedding gifts from our boutique:-) We certainly appreciate your business and sincerely thank you for your referrals!!! Thanks again, Kara! Miss you too. Hope to see you soon...
PS. Glad your husband liked our thank you note:-)
Cherie and Cheri,
We cannot thank you enough for all that you did to help prepare us for the most wonderful day of our lives! My mom, grandmother, husband, dad and I all LOVE your store and both of you! We are so happy to now call you both friends! It is always such a joy to see you both. We are so thankful to you both for all of your help the entire time we were planning our wedding. You did an amazing job with our Invitations, Calligraphy (LOVED it! Got so many awesome comments!), Thank Yous, Parent and Grandparent gifts, Groomsmen and Bridesmaid gifts, my Jewelry, my mom and grandmother's Jewelry, PJs, flip flops, and on and on...
We loved everything we got from you and cannot wait to come back again soon just to visit and catch up! THANK YOU again SO MUCH- Everything you do is simply exquisite and beautiful!! We look forward to seeing you both again soon!
All the Best,
Erica and Bradley Adams

Hi Erica!
I am happy to hear from you! I am glad you had a nice experience and LOVED all the products and services (Calligraphy) that we provided for you. We are VERY busy right now and I have plenty of new Calligraphy orders to complete. I just got back from a show in NYC and have some really cute new products on the way:-)!!
I am always happy for my Brides when they get married but "sad" when I don't see them. I love when they pop in again with their Wedding albums or bring in a friend who is getting married. I hope all is well with you and Bradley. Say hi to everyone and let them know we think of them often. Hopefully, Mom and Nonna are attending some fancy events so they can wear their beautiful jewelry again!!!!
Thanks again Erica, for all your thoughtful and kind words. Hope to see you real soon!!!!!
Hi Cherie-
It was great to see you today and pick up a few cute items for my honeymoon! You've been amazing throughout the whole wedding-process and you've become a friend too. I can't wait til my sister gets engaged, because I am sure we'll all be practically living at the store again (haha).
A Beautiful Touch is a fun place to look around for all things pretty! I met Cherie though a family jewelry party...and then my mother hosted one of our own, and since I was planning my wedding at the time, I began visiting the boutique. The credit we earned at our party bought my bridesmaids' GORGEOUS gifts...white pearl-bead and crystal necklace/earring/bracelet sets. They looked stunning with the elegant black gowns. I ordered Cherie's black silk jewelry pouches with the monogramed intials on them, and the girls flipped over them. I even just bought a pink one for me (they make for great presentation). I've bought tons of jewelry from the store, and found the most STUNNING headpiece for my wedding. My guestbook/pen, personalized cake servers, crystal shoe decals, and garter also came from Cherie. One highlight of my wedding was the rented bride card-holder. Everyone loved it! My mother surprised me the night before my wedding with the beautiful french-lace monogramed hankie, which will become an heirloom. Just today, I bought honeymoon luggage tags, the silk jewelry pouch, and white honeymoon "just married" flip-flops. Also today, I brought my gown and veil in to be cleaned and preserved. My dress has delicate beading and I knew it would be done right...worth the money. As you can see, it seems like most of my wedding was from A Beautiful Touch!
I also have to add that the boutique has AMAZING bridal veils at excellent prices. I didn't realize this when I bought mine. Cherie has one that was nearly identical to the one I bought, only mine was $200 and the veil offered by Cheri was nearly $75 less!
Their customer service is so wonderful that you'll keep coming back again and again. The jewelry collection is mind-blowing and affordable. There are so many choices for everyone's tastes.
Thanks Cherie and Cheri for your help, advice, and friendship during the whole process (and beyond). Take care!
-Stefanie Greenberg (married 4/26/09)
Hi Stefanie!
Wow, thank you for the beautiful letter!!! It was so nice seeing you as well and looking at all your georgeous Wedding photographs. It is so hard to choose! I appreciate you taking the time and bringing them in.
I am happy your girls LOVED their jewelry and their gifts. Your headpiece looked amazing with the beautiful pearls your hubby gave you!! Perfect!
We do not aggressively advertise that we sell veils but once our customers see them they CANNOT believe the prices. They really are great, I have to agree!!!
I know you are such a jewelry diva and I am hoping I can find those Swarovski crystal earrings you had requested!! I am sure I can find you something beautiful.
Thank you again, Stefanie for your business and friendship. I am happy to have met you, your mom and sweet family:-) I am sure you will be back when Kerrie gets engaged:-)! Talk to you soon!
Hi Cherie,
This is long over due! I wanted to thank you and your mother for being so helpful when I was planning my wedding. I came in with questions and you offered wonderful suggestions.
We received so much great feedback on the gifts we purchased for our bridal party and readers. The jewlery we purchased from your store was beautiful and photographed wonderfully.
We have told so many people about your store. I look forward to visiting when my sister finally decides to get married :)
Thanks again for everything!
