Business
Listen to how Asim and Henna Khan built their wedding store, weddingfavorites.com over 16 years ago. Their business idea is focused on the modern and contemporary look to wedding favorites as their market separator because they both enjoyed arts, crafts and planning for their weddings. They used a drop-ship model to start out with items that they didn't have capacity, hand made some products like velum envelopes and get some supplies and customize it before shipping to the customer.
