Fall wedding events you don't want to miss

The month of October brings two fabulous wedding events in Seattle that you don't want to miss if you are getting hitched...Urban Unveiled which is tomorrow, Thursday, October 14th and Get Hitched Give Hope at the end of the month on Thursday, October 28th.




Urban Unveiled

Urban Unveiled is more than a wedding show; this evening of opulence is a chance to meet and mingle with the Urban Unveiled partners who can take your bridal vision and make it a reality while you enjoy fine wines, nibble on sumptuous cuisine, decadent cakes & other to-die-for desserts at Benaroya Hall in downtown Seattle. Throughout the evening incredible music sets the festive tone, there are give-aways, and an awe-inspiring fashion show by the legendary Luly Yang. The event is the brainchild of friends Jesse and Travis and a fun mention that my officemate Lisa will be a vendor this year.

Get Hitched Give Hope

Seattle's premier bridal giving event, Get Hitched Give Hope is back for its third year. Held at the acclaimed Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Seattle, the event is where you get gorgeous goods for your wedding by giving back. A swanky-cool cocktail party, the kind that gives you an excuse to buy new shoes, amazing appetizers, raffle and silent auction items donated from top wedding professionals. This event is near and dear to my heart as I helped found it with a group of amazing women in the wedding biz.

It seems as though cancer has touched the lives of everyone, in some way. This is why Get Hitched, Give Hope, a non-profit organization have chosen the Making Memories Foundation as their charity to support. 1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer and 1 in 100 breast cancer cases are in men. Over 40,000 men and women will lose their lives to breast cancer this year in America alone; that's 40,000 wishes that we can help to grant. The family's first trip to Disneyworld. A long overdue family reunion. Their goal is to raise $50,000 to grant wishes for stage IV breast cancer patients and their families. The Making Memories Foundation creates the ability to grant personal wishes to patients in their last year. Read more about the foundation.

Here are just a few of the items you can bid on at the event...

wedding photography
delectable desserts
wedding florals
hair and makeup styling
jewelry
wedding videography
a band for your reception

Join the party and toast to this wonderful cause that celebrates life and love and the fabulous spirit of giving. It’s an evening not to be missed, where the most stylish way to give is to get. Do you have your party shoes on yet?

Seattle Green Festival is this weekend

While not wedding specific I wanted to share that there will be a Green Festival this weekend, April 12-13th, at the Convention Center and it sounds like a unique event to catch.

Here is some background on the show..."Named one of the top 10 green cities in the U.S. in 2005 by National Geographic’s The Green Guide, what better place to celebrate an urban community’s vision of green than Seattle? Led by the Office of Sustainability and the Environment, the City of Seattle is proud to co-host the first Green Festival in the Pacific Northwest."


Among the 350 vendors showcasing green living will be 3rd generation owned organic farm I Love Tiny. My hubby is close friends with the owners will be helping out at the show both days. They have the best apples and dried fruits I have tasted so if you stop by the show make sure to check them out!

Panache Pics

Following up the Panache boutique wedding show that I participated in at the Columbia Tower Club to share pics of my booth. I had fun with a Spring floral theme using delicate yellow parrot tulips in wheat grass placed in silver dishes bordered with sea glass. Photos taken by the lovely and talented Tania Shepard of Azzura Photography.

Panache follow up

The Panache wedding show was yesterday and so much fun! I will post pictures soon. My booth theme was "Fresh for Spring" so of course I had to use wheat grass, a favorite staple!

Stay tuned...

Panache wedding show is this Sunday!

A friendly reminder that the Panache boutique wedding show at the Columbia Tower Club is this Sunday, February 17th from Noon-4pm. Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. For more information visit Panache Wedding Show.

Hope to see you there!

Panache Wedding Show

The Columbia Tower Club is hosting its second annual wedding show, Sunday February 17th from Noon-4pm, which I will be participating in. Set on the 75th and 76th floors of the Bank of America Tower, the club is an elegant venue with breathtaking 360 degree views of the Seattle area and Puget Sound waterfront. The club holds a special place in my heart as it is where I first started in the wedding industry. Their strive for upmost attention to guests and extra touches are among the elements that make a wedding at the club unique and memorable.

The wedding show will not only showcase the club but will also include some of Seattle's hottest vendors in photography, design, music, floral, cakes and invitations. Enjoy appetizers and sparkling wine while you mingle with vendors and find inspirations for your wedding. For more information visit Panache Wedding Show.
