Grand Opening

September 9, 2010

The grand opening went great. It was so good to see so many friends come by to celebrate.

 

Festival Sounds was kind enough to provide music for the night.

The beautiful floral was done by Bloomers

There were cupcakes, sundae’s and drinks
and delicious savory foods from Katering Koncepts.

All served in the great pastry and ice cream cases.

Thank you to everyone who came  for making the grand opening such a success.

This changes for me every week. So this week if my husband agreed to do it again I would want a dusty pink, navy blue, light blue wedding with white, ivory, and gray on the beach and I would defintley have a pancake bar! (Pancake bar not necessarily on the beach. Sand+Pancakes=not so tasty.)

What is your favorite thing about being a wedding planner:
My favorite part about being a wedding planner is when the bride and groom come and give you a big huge when they see their wedding. Making someones big day special is one of the best parts.
