My First and Best Wedding Fair


The Independent Wedding Association's Wedding Fair on November 14th was a big party, not your typical wedding fair! From all of the fun vendors, live music, food, cakes and sweets, visiting brides and grooms and the Varsity Theater as the venue, it felt like a huge party! I am so lucky to call this "work time". I was thrilled to chat with many brides and help them begin the process of making their weddings so "them", not what everyone says you should do or expect.

Here are some pictures to give you an idea of what to expect from the next fair, happening at the Campus Club in February...more to come on that soon.

To entertain our brides and grooms at the fair and give them some ideas for their own party we had a pretend wedding, I even got misty eyed and it was fake, I'm such a softy for weddings. I guess that's why I'm in this biz.

I had fun creating circus inspired floral designs for the fake wedding and a table scape perfect for a summer fete' including cotton candy dessert cups. Did I have fun? YES!












For the Mother of the Bride,
a little black purse with a rose and feathers,
instead of the typical corsage on dress or wrist.
