Thomas Fogarty Showcase

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

About a week ago I attended a wonderful event at Fogarty Winery. Thirty couples were invited to sample yummy food from Melon’s catering, view beautiful table set-ups by Amy Burke, and even get a free dance lesson! A highlight of the afternoon was seeing the difference in pricing for different table designs. So often we see beautiful set ups in magazines but have no idea what they cost. Thanks to Amy Burke and Kelly from Hartmann Rentals the pricing was explained in detail. Here are a some photographs from the beautiful event -

Wedding Inspiration – Remembering what this is all about

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Some times we get so carried away with planning the wedding that we forget what it is really about. Love. A deep love between two people. So, take a moment and a deep breath. Go give your special someone a kiss, a phone call, or even a text and tell them “I love you”.

Take a moment to remember what this is all about

Bridal bouquets come in every size, shape and color. Aside from the flowers you chose, how can you further personalize your bouquet. Here are a few ideas:
