Cynthia Rowley Launches New Bridesmaid Collection

Our friends at Bella Bridesmaid just announced they are providing dress fittings at the launch party for Cynthia Rowley’s new bridesmaids collection!

There will be passed champagne,  models showcasing the new collection and of course, your favorite Bella girls on hand to answer questions and assist with fittings, if necessary. The dresses are really wonderful.  You may even want one for yourself (think bridal shower or rehearsal dinner!).

Please RSVP to chicagoevents@cynthiarowley.com and mention Bella Bridesmaid if you plan to attend.

Beautiful use of a Ribbon Broach

As some of you may recall, we gave away a beautiful Ribbon Broach a few months ago as part of our “While Drinking a Glass of Champagne” interview with Susan from The Left Bank Jewelry and Shoes.  It just so happened, that the lucky winner had a broach themed wedding!  Sarah got married in downtown Chicago and was extremely creative with her use of broaches.

It was so thoughtful of Sarah to send me a picture her beautiful bridal bouquet with the broach attached.  I really love all of their pictures, so if you want to see more check out her photographer, Janie Lucille Yoder’s blog. I think you will be happy you did!

Thank you Sarah for sharing these beautiful images with us. You were a radiant bride!

If you are interested in volunteering for this event your help is appreciated and needed!

Here is a tiny excerpt from their website:

Our mission is to grant wishes, including memory-making events, for metastatic breast cancer patients, while continuing to support, educate and increase resource awareness.

We at Making Memories are dedicated to providing a spark of joy into the lives of women and men who are losing their battle against breast cancer. The tragedy of this illness is not merely the physical and emotional burden, but also the enormous financial strain it places on a family.  When insurance benefits are exhausted and mounting medical expenses deplete bank accounts, there is often little or no money left for special memory-making moments, set apart from the everyday sadness and turmoil of “saying goodbye.”

It is the driving force of our Foundation to make a wish come true for these brave fighters. The wishes and memory-making events we bestow, allows the individual and their family the opportunity to put aside the realities of this illness, if only for a time, while basking in the joy of one another’s presence.  Our sincere desire is for every terminally ill breast cancer patient to pass from this world, comforted in the knowledge of having left one final beautiful memory for his or her family.
