Occasions Expo

On yesterday I attended the Occasions Expo at the Georgia World Congress Center .  Unlike a bridal show, the Occasions Expo highlighted events of all kind.  There were planners, caterers, stationery designers, floral designers, linen companies, event rentals, and even a portable cigar lounge ( I can't wait to use this at one of my events!!!).  Check out a few of my snaps below.   

 

Bling into Spring Promotion

Just for the brides and grooms, we have a  spectacular promotion through the end of March.  Not getting married, refer a friend or two :-).

Happy Planning!

Heart over Heels Recap

Whoo-sah! Yes, you read that right!  As much as I love to plan a good event, I'm just as excited when it's all said and done.  Heart over Heels was such a success and we are very grateful for it.  I have to give a special thank you to the vendors who showcased their fabulous products and services including, Fire N Ice Boutique , Blue Stilletto, Trendie Tops, Urban Blu3, Beverly Johnson of Mary Kay, DoSol Jewelry, Lashes by AJ, and Stephanie Spieth of Beijo Bags.  The guests enjoyed yummy rum and red velvet flavored cupcakes from Jadey Cakes, while mingling to the sounds of Mr. E! The Motivator.  Lastly, thank you to the many ladies who attended our event.  We know that you love a good Girls Nite Out just as much as we do :-).  Although the focus of the event was "sipping and shopping", Heart over Heels served as a great platform for women entrepreneurs to connect and inspire others to go after their dreams too.  Check out a few pics from the event below.

Happy Planning!
