so i know i took a short hiatus from blogging, and an apology is definitely in order – i’m sorry!!!

however, it was for good reason!  i spent much of last week preparing and finalizing plans for the first ever sip & see, which was a fabulous time!  what a nice way to spend a sunday; visiting with couples in various stages of their wedding planning and getting to toss around ideas and listen to the things they were most looking forward to in their upcoming celebrations!  and although we got a tiny sprinkle of rain, the happy couples still came out to enjoy themselves, sip on champagne and sparkling cider, munch on appetizers, watch some wedding video, flip through photos, sample airbrush makeup, take a look at invites, sample cake, listen to music, smell some flowers and just soak in the overall fun and relaxing environment that was created on sunday.

 after touching base with all of the wonderful vendors who participated with me in this great, successful event, we all agree that another will HAVE to take place!  

thank you to all of the attendees for coming and taking part in our event!  and thank you to all of the other vendors for your hard work and efforts; this was an awesome group to work with!   yas and deshun of dapper images . . . vynce of music phreek . . .  jesse of lighting phreek . . . tina and tuan of everlasting video . . . leigh of posies . . . ann of flirt makeup . . . nicole of paper scissors print . . . renee from the french gourmet . . . thank you, thank you, thank you!  you are all such great people and talents, and i look forward to future sip & sees and weddings and events together!  and an extra thank you to yas and deshun for so generously opening their beautiful home to us all for this event!

i would also like to give a shout-out to my new helper, monica, who totally rocked it!  she worked her rear off at the sip & see to help us all stay on track and chatting up the attendees.  thank you monica!!!
