Kyle & Becky Bowser
B & B Solutions
I’ve given a lot of thought to how I ended up in the wedding business in Southeast Texas.
My Partner ~ My Kyle
I can’t tell you how many times folks want to know about our business name, “B & B Solutions.” Yes, my husband’s name is “Kyle.” No, we aren’t called “B & K.” Just think of us as “Bowser & Bowser,” okay?! He may not be at the forefront of the business but he is definitely my sounding board and a true partner.
The truth is, when we launched our business in 2007 I was not even a decorator. With the name “B & B Solutions” we were keeping all of our options open so that we could offer skills in our areas of expertise (accounting, database management, computer training, etc.). The business has evolved to include primarily Event & Floral Design, Video Keepsake Slideshow DVD’s, and Graphic Design & Print Services.
P.S. Yes, that is our picture in the logo, drawn at Astroworld in 1973. We were 15 and 16 years old. We know a lot about love!
My Inspiration ~ My Betsy
About being in the wedding business . . . for one thing, our daughter Betsy’s wedding in 2004 was a source of complete joy for me. Because I believe that it should be a pleasant experience for every bride, I find it natural to look at “my brides” in much the same way that I did Betsy during her planning time. Within reason (I have to say that!), I want to give a bride everything her heart desires.
I’ve worked with several brides now. I can honestly say that none has been more pleasant to work with than Betsy, a bride who had a good idea of what she wanted but who was reasonable and appreciative of our efforts to provide.
So, once a bride signs with me, I am on a mission to make her vision for the big day become her reality. Sometimes—often in fact—a bride does not really know what she wants until she has seen a few things she doesn’t want! That’s part of the process. I don’t let this make her or me feel bad, because that is what it takes. I meet with my brides as frequently as necessary to get it just right. I really enjoy being thought of as a “second Mom.”
My Confidence ~ My Friends
Too many to picture here, my friends are my encouragers and the source of my confidence. You know who you are, and you may or may not be related to me! You’ve hired me and recommended me and encouraged me, and for that I am very grateful!
My Heart ~ My Family
B & B Solutions’ services have grown out of a lifetime centered on celebrations and gatherings with family. Don’t you wish you could claim an original idea once in a while? Maybe you can, but most of my ideas have been borrowed from family and friends! My sisters created an awesome slideshow for my Dad’s retirement in 1992, so I decided I would create slideshows. My mother-in-law, Carolyn Bowser, was the floral designer for Betsy’s wedding in 2004, so I decided I would become a decorator.
I’m proud as I can be to be right in the middle, the fourth of seven children of Hugh and Rosalie Reeder. We celebrate every new addition to the family. I believe that the last of Hugh and Rosalie’s grandchildren has been born, but we are adding great-nieces and great-nephews all the time. We celebrate every accomplishment of every one. We love and enjoy one another. How awesome it is to know that when you are celebrating a joy or enduring a sorrow, you have family and friends who are feeling it with you. Unconditional love that others show for your children and your grandchildren—a blessing I do not take for granted.
I am blessed to have my precious husband, Kyle; two loving children, Betsy and Tony; a wonderful son-in-law, Collin; and the sweetest little granddaughter in the world, Caroline Rose.
My Faith ~ My God
I was raised and married in the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Port Arthur, Texas. My brother Tom Reeder (third from the right in the above picture) is a Disciples minister and has performed most of the weddings in the family. Our wedding in 1977 was his first as minister. He is the best! We have been members of Port Neches First United Methodist Church since 1981. Our closest and best friends have been made in our church—another huge blessing.
I don’t claim any divine inspiration in my business, but I do ask God for guidance in every area of my life. I pray for every little one that appears in my daycare videos, and I pray for every bride and groom that trusts me to handle details of one of the biggest days of their lives.
I hope that this has helped you to get to know me a little better. Please let me get to know you!
