escort cards

Escort cards should be displayed in alphabetical order by last name. That makes it easy for guests to find their card. If you were to place the cards in order by table number, guests will take forever to find their card because the only thing they know is their name. (They don’t know their table number, hence the reason for the escort card in the first place.)

So, when you have finished your seating assignments and are packing the cards for your wedding planner, help us out and make sure they are in order by last name!

Carine’s Bridal at Mervis

Carine brought some beautiful gowns (and a beautiful model) to the Mervis event we did two weekends ago. Every time the model changed, I found myself loving the latest dress even more so than the one before.  Carine really has a stunning selection of gowns and accessories.  Images from Rodney Bailey.

You have probably heard the news – the girls at Hitched have started a blog! From Hello to Hitched will offer advice not only on gowns and attire, but wedding advice in general.  Carin and Julia, the owners of Hitched, hear so many stories and ideas from brides walking into their store. So, they are going to share that information with us!  Image from Hitched.

“Garden of Good and Evil”

Urban Market Tasting

Last month I attended an event hosted by Occasions at a new venue, The American Pharmaceutical Building. While they are not allowing weddings yet, word is they soon will be. Regardless, the view of the city is amazing.

The Urban Market Tasting was a chance for the Occasions’ chefs to work with local farmers.  Not only was the menu interactive and fun, but it was AMAZING!  Tom Van Veen documented the whole evening and did a great job, as always!
