Great Bridal Expo at Fairmont Hotel Dallas 11/8/09 October 30, 2009

WE HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF FREE TICKETS TO THIS EVENT! EMAIL despina@voilalafete.com FOR INFO! 

 

Not that there aren’t enough bridal shows and wedding extravaganzas in Texas, let alone Dallas, but the Great Bridal Expo held at the historic and beautiful Fairmont Dallas Hotel is an excellent opportunity to not only get out and see a slew of Dallas vendors, but a chance to check out the hotel’s event space. The Expo is set to begin November 8 at noon and generally lasts anywhere from five to seven hours depending on crowds.

Here is a short list of featured exhibitors: 

A well known Dallas florist Your Perfect Wedding Day by di Fiori will be on-site to demonstrate and discuss floral arrangements for any Dallas event. This mother/daughter team has event design experience ranging from full-service social affairs to large corporate luncheons.

The Creative Touch: Events by Lauren is a Dallas event planner specializing in not only weddings, but also lavish corporate affairs and business gatherings. Full-service event planning and day-of coordination are available.

Voted Dallas’ Best Winery in 2009, Swirll Winery & Wine Bar will be presenting some fabulous options for off-site wine selections, as well as those for smaller, on-site cocktail events. This swank little wine dive is located in the heart of downtown and has fast become a Dallas restaurant hotspot for both the amateur wine lover and connoisseur alike.

Keith Evans Photography will also be at the Expo exhibiting some of his famous shots. Voted Ft. Worth’s Photographer of the Year in 2008, Keith has a knack for capturing the perfect lighting for both formal or informal shots. He also knows some of the best Dallas venues and outdoor locales for amazing shoots.

MBEG, LLCis a multi-service company specializing in ground Dallas transportation. Whether you’re in need of bus service to and from an event or a corporate car pick-up service, they are known to have some of the best rates for Dallas limo companies.

All these and more will be on-site to promote networking amongst Dallas area vendors. It’s a great opportunity for Dallas meeting planners to seek out some lesser known, well-respected names in the Dallas event industry.

 

Dress Spotlight RIVINI – 2010 collection October 29, 2009

This year’s Rivini collection features understated luxury with an emphasis on classic elements, textures, and lush fabrics like light silk voile, duchesse, and crinkle chiffon; as well as accented trends like jeweled beading and dramatic headware (fun!). Looking back at their runway gowns and the, literally, hundreds to choose from, I’ve selected a few (picking a few is harder than it sounds) faves. Back on planet Earth, not everyone can afford couture or fit perfectly into off-the-rack cuts, so let this be a tool to help create your perfect gown. Enjoy!

Ivanka Trump says “I Do” … October 26, 2009

Ivanka Trump and  New York Observer  publisher Jared Kushner were married Sunday in an extravagant wedding at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ. Ivanka, the daughter of ever-famous real estate magnate and hair mogul, Donald Trump, walked down the aisle wearing a Grace Kelly inspired Vera Wang wedding dress in front of 500+ guests.  The lavish, albeit relatively understated (relatively… she is a Trump, afterall), affair was produced by famed event designer Preston Bailey who, according to Brides.com, spoke of Ivanka’s desire for her wedding to be ”elegant with a comfortable setting that would get the guests involved and have unique moments throughout”. Bailey continues, saying that the visual ”bride’s sense of style was sophisticated, original, very New York, and, like her dad, classic.” “She was very specific about what she likes and doesn’t like.” Must be nice!
