IndyBride2B.com!
Earlier this year, a brand new website emerged in the Indy bridal marketplace called IndyBride2B.com! We were approached by the Founder about being a Contributing Editor for their blog and happily accepted the challenge! 🙂 So far, we’ve covered topics like Tips for a Successful Engagement Session, How to Get the Best Sparkler Effects in Your Photography, What is an Unplugged Wedding, and most recently, The Benefits of Having More than One Photographer at Your Wedding! Make sure you check out those links among the many other awesome, relevant articles posted weekly on their blog. 🙂
Ritz Charles Bridal Experience Night!
Our friends at the Ritz Charles asked if we would like to set up a display table for their Bridal Experience Night on 5/9 and of course, we said, “yes!” 🙂 They do these showcase nights a few times a year for their booked brides where they showcase their venue & a few select, preferred vendors as well as various table set up display options and their cakes & catering. It’s a chance for brides to get new ideas, try their food & experience what the Ritz has to offer first hand. We set up several albums, canvases, an iPad display, magazine features and promotional materials and Wes from Event One DJs added uplighting to our display which really made it pop! (Thanks Wes!!) The Ritz staff created several beautiful table display ideas for their brides, the pink one was my fave, of course! 😉 Wes provided the entertainment, uplighting and photo booth that night, all of which were amazing. I LOVED all of the uplights around the room, I believe it truly makes a huge difference in your photos. (Brides, take note) 🙂 McNamara did a fantastic job on the flowers (thanks Alan for the pink arrangement, it still looks beautiful in our home!) and Oliver’s Twist set up a great display of their custom invitations and paper products that night. The plated dinners that the Ritz set aside for us to photograph looked SO yummy and you could tell that their couples really enjoyed the event. 🙂

Mill Top Bridal Show Open House!
On 4/6 we participated in Mill Top’s Bridal Show/Open House with some of our favorite vendors! It was a really great show and an opportunity for brides to come check out the new venue space in Noblesville. Wedding planners were asked to transform each room into an amazing set up for a wedding or reception, so brides could really get a feel for what could be done with the space. I have to say, our friends ROCKED IT OUT!! Deborah & Cassie outdid themselves, as usual, and Angie did an amazing job on the flowers & decor! Jamee Bryant did a fabulous job on the candy buffet, Kathy Hershberger provided beautiful music & Thomas Caterers did an amazing job on the food! Everyone was just in awe of the space!! Great job team!! Can’t wait to work with all of you again on more upcoming events this year! 🙂

I’m soooo excited to announce that our newly redesigned website is now LIVE!! John at InspireMedia did SUCH an amazing job on it, he’s awesome!! 🙂 It was such a huge project to take on, but it was so worth it…the new site features include: animated drop down navigation, flash based slideshows, page transition animation, full screen images and some of my favorite music set to the custom photo galleries. I think my two favorite galleries are “Bling” and “Pets” you’ve GOT to check them out!! 🙂 We hope you all enjoy the new website and find it easier to navigate and full of ideas! XOXO
