What a Weekend

Monday, November 9th, 2009

We had a fantastic time at Shelburn Farms on Saturday and had the opportunity to meet some really great couples (and moms, too)!  The Coach Barn was buzzing with brides and vendors who were taking it all in.  As usual Krista Washburn and her fabulous team put together an event to remember for this year’s Wedding Affair.  The Marie Antoinette theme was complete with dancers in period garb, a spa full of talented make-up artists, a decked-out lounge, delectable food & drinks and a day full of seminars with tips for brides and grooms-to-be.  I was invited to conduct a seminar on “Practical Planing” which is right up my alley!  The tent for the fashion show was a sight to be seen draped with fabric and pink paper peonies hung from the chandeliers.  As always it was a wonderful end to a truly inspired event!

Is it possible that I am already looking forward to next year’s show?!  The New York and Cape Cod/Nantucket brides are in for a treat!

The Wedding Affair, Nov. 7th

Friday, November 6th, 2009

The Wedding Affair at Shelburne Farms is tomorrow, November 7th and the brides who are attending will be blown away by the creative and truly AMAZING details that Krista Washburn and the Vermont Vows crew have in store.  Dave and I will have a booth so stop by and say hi if you are at the Coach Barn.  I will be presenting a seminar on Practical Planning Tips at 5:30 and answering brides’ questions about planning their big day.  It’s one of my favorite days of the year and I am looking forward to it!  I’m off to design…
