Professional Membership

In January, Cocoa & Fig became a professional member of the Twin City Bridal Association. With this membership, we entered into a wonderful group of wedding professionals. I encourage you to use their site when choosing reception sites, florists, photographers and bridal attire. And while you're there, check out our section: Cocoa & Fig on Twin City Bridal. We agree to abide by their code of ethics, which is pretty cool. Check it out below.
