With previous experience in planning events in the non-profit, corporate and private sectors, Liene Stevens opened Blue Orchid Designs, an event design and planning firm specializing in luxury weddings. In less than three years, the Blue Orchid blog generated over $18 million in revenue for the Phoenix area and also played a key role in the expansion of Blue Orchid Designs to the East Coast. Liene's expertise has been sought out by numerous publications, including The New York Times, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, Modern Bride, and Bride and Bloom, among others.
In addition to planning stylish weddings and events through Blue Orchid Designs, Liene is the founder of Splendid Communications, an online media consultancy specializing in the wedding and event industries. Wedding professionals from around the world have credited Liene's strategic mentoring with increasing their online presence and improving productivity goals.
Liene is honored to serve on the board of directors for the Pink Initiative, a non-profit organization comprised of wedding industry professionals dedicated to funding awareness, outreach, education and research for breast cancer.
Communication works for those who work at it.

Welcome to Think Splendid, the blog of Splendid Communications! We are an online media consultancy serving the wedding and event industries. We help companies discover and maximize their online voice in order to effectively increase their brand presence and add to their bottom line.
We like to think of social media as a return to old-fashioned roots of real conversations rather than a high-tech race to keep up with the next big thing. While the tools will always evolve, the need to communicate effectively and deepen relationships will remain.
Splendid Communications subscribes to the view that the world is a bakery that produces fresh opportunities each day and not a fixed pie where each person has to fight for the last crumb. Because of this, we encourage you to get involved, leave comments and ask questions so that we can help you navigate the online world. We love hearing from you and we invite you to Think Splendid.
