Indie Wed at Room 1520

Posted on July 26, 2011 by Greatest Expectations

We had such a great time at Indie Wed last Thursday! Room 1520 did an amazing job and all of the vendors really out did themselves! Check out some fun pictures we took

Love the truffle cake from our friends at Truffle Truffle!

It was so fun to see Michelle from Bleeding Heart Bakery … The display was stunning and tasty!!

Our friend Chef Ginna was at the Salted Caramel table … Wonderful!

Figs and Ginger has a really unique take on things … I love the creativeness!

We had the most fun with the Busy Beaver Button Co. Seriously … You have to check them out!

Lastly I adore this custom wedding gown from Dame Couture … It is hard to tell but the top was pale blue!

Customized Wedding Veils

Posted on August 3, 2010 by Greatest Expectations

There is something extra special about your wedding veil. Whether you want something simple and short, cathedral length, birdcage or just a really fantastic hair piece (yes, in some situations that can be the whole veil), your veil makes a statement about who you are and what type of wedding you plan to have.

One of my favorite new products is the Custom Monogrammed Veil by Kristina Eaton. This is a totally unique item and perfect for the bride who loves to see her Monogram everywhere (ok, you will not be able to see it as it trails behind you but everyone else will and you’ll have the pictures to remember it by).

You can check out Kristina’s beautiful handiwork at a trunk show hosted at The Dress by Nicole, August 12-14. Receive a 10% discount if you place your order during the trunk show!
