What are we doing this week?

Feb 10 | Bridal Show Happenings | by Cynthia
_________________________________________________________________________

We held our first Preferred Bridal Show of the season yesterday at the Ames Quality Inn & Suites.  We had a great show with wonderful brides, friends and family visiting with Premier vendors in a relaxed, yet super fun atmosphere.  We gave out lots of prizes, ate some delicious cupcakes from Scratch Cupcakery and sampled yummy goodies from Lidderdale Catering.  All in all, a great day meeting hundreds of Brides planning their weddings.

Bridal Shows can be very exciting times for Brides and Grooms.  Who, What, When and Where can often times be decided in a single visit.  Finding those vendors that think outside the box [we had a company called Urban Storks attend and they were super busy!] are ones that we love to showcase.  A wedding is more than  a cake and a dress.  It is lifestyle, it is introducing personal style and above all, it encompasses the love that you have for each other, friends and family.

Our next show is this Sunday in Iowa City.  We would love to have you join us!

 

Our last Bridal Show of the Season!

Our last Bridal Show of the season finds us in Council Bluffs this coming Sunday from Noon - 3:00 pm. Going West will be a lot of fun since we are holding this show in the gorgeous Bayliss Park Hall, right in the heart of downtown Council Bluffs. 

Bayliss is multi-leved to give couples choices when planning their weddings.  Holding a ceremony in front of the downstairs fireplace would be romantic and dreamy while an upstairs Reception and Dancing would be the perfect end to a fabulous event.
Come visit the vintage gang as we transform cupcakes into a beautiful dessert buffet, give you some great table ideas and visit with you about your rental needs.

Fashion, food and lots of prize give-aways!  We would love to have you join us!

A New Week - a New Bridal Show to get ready for!

We had a great time at Honey Creek Resort State Park yesterday.  The vendors that came were true professionals and we loved visiting with them to learn about what they do and why they love weddings so much!  If you missed the show, no worries!  We have the gang all lined up for you here.

Our next show is at the Diamond Jo Casino in Dubuque THIS Sunday from Noon - 3 pm.  Dubuque is a great town to visit, so make it a day trip to do a little shopping, a little casino action and visit the show to win great prizes, attend the Pure Bridal Trunk Show with the most amazing fashions! and so much more.  We have your sweet tooth covered with a dessert buffet with Scratch Cupcakery as well as a hot chocolate & cookie bar with Food Love, Iowa's newest foodie company.  If that isn't enough, here is more information.

Preferred Bridal Shows | Ames

Yesterday was The Preferred Bridal Show in Ames at the Quality Inn & Suites. We had an amazing time with over 350 attendees that braved the chilly weather, some of Iowa's most talented vendors, and gorgeous decor provided by Special Events, LLC and cynwhd b. designs.  Everyone was treated to sinful desserts and beverages from Scratch Cupcakery, Dutch Oven Bakery and  Food Love, Iowa's newest Foodie Company.

Pure Bridal treated us to a gorgeous fashion show.  They even gave one lucky lady a free wedding gown! We are so excited for her and know she will look fabulous on her wedding day!

A big thank you goes out to all of the wonderful vendors [click here to see who came] and brides that came out to the show!

Our next Preferred Bridal Show will be at Jasper Winery on Sunday, October 27 from 12-3. You may find more information and details here! We hope you will join us!
