a great event...

Hello! So sorry... We hadn't followed up since our fantastic event this past weekend at the Brides Against Breast Cancer Event! It was a great turn out... Lots of brides getting fabulous deals on bridal dresses and the educational sessions were great too! :O)

As you know, our presentation was on color and inspirations. We covered the importance of selecting colors for your wedding you absolutely love as well as showing our fabulous inspirations - award winning table top designs and how we came up with our design concepts.
It was such a pleasure connecting with couples during our panel q & a discussion and answering questions specific to their wedding!

Remember... In designing for your special day, pick colors you absolutely love and keep in mind, your pictures "live on forever."Have lots of fun with the broad spectrum of colors and various textures!

Please contact us if you need assistance with your wedding designs and concepts. We'd love to help you.

Happy designing!
