Mondays with Mindy: Wedding Planner Celebration

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of being invited to Carla David's Wedding Planner Celebration. What an inspiring way to set off the new year!!

Part of the Up-Do's For I Do's Team from Left to Right: Caitlin, Mindy & Dana

Just a few creative designs from Carla

Getting Carla David all dolled up to be the perfect hostess of the evening!

Setting up in the Ballroom at McLean Gardens in DC

The Up-Do's Team applied eyelashes for the Wedding Planners

Carla David after her Up-Do's makeover. Ready to start the party!!

Say Cheese! Paper Props and Life Love Images snapped away with fun and exciting ways to document the event

Brideside not only presented, but displayed beautiful bridesmaids dresses from their online collection experience.

The room was filled with floral and candle arrangements by Romance of Flowers. The perfect ambiance for the evening! 

So many sweet treats from Baklava Couture Catering were passed throughout the evening. The Chocolate cream cones were to die for!! 

Had to catch up with our friends Colleen O'Neil and Evelyn Alas!  

We "inked" our thumbs for this awesome tree and leave guest book!

Blinging in the new year with these flashy favors

Sadly, we missed snapping photos with Amie Burkholder of Bronzed Berry and the boys from Absolute Entertainment

Special Thanks to Carla David for inviting Up-Do's For I Do's to this Fabulous Event!

Bridal Show: Baltimore Bridal Show August 2012

A 12 hour day couldn't start any better than this! Thank you SVL for getting me through hours 1-4.

 Car is packed and ready to go to the Baltimore Bridal Show at the gorgeous Marriott Waterfront in Baltimore!

 

 Ironing? Steaming? Wasting time?

 Suspended mirrors? Check!

 Very happy to report that brides loved having eyelashes added onto their bridal show look!

 Look carefully below! I spy Ashley and Steffani!
