Media, Quattro Systems, and a lot of the catering and hall people, and our new friend Sam over at Thread & Film – but that doesn’t mean we don’t love you all and hope you have a fantastic season.  We were able to snag a few shots for Trista over at Rose’s Bouquets, and of the installation put together by A Party Apart, The Bride To Be, and Lillian Rose.  As you can see – the trend this season is for a slightly more subtle color palette and we can’t wait to see what our brides come up with.

Wayne Bridal Extravaganza 2010 {ft. wayne bridal show and indiana bridal show} http://happinestphoto.com/blog/2010/02/22/ft-wayne-bridal-extravaganza-2010/ http://happinestphoto.com/blog/2010/02/22/ft-wayne-bridal-extravaganza-2010/#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 20:04:16 +0000 admin http://happinestphoto.com/blog/?p=857 We were excited to participate in the Bridal Extravaganza at the Grand Wayne Center in downtown Ft. Wayne again this year.  We always enjoy getting to meet new brides and other vendors.  This year we got out our old booth and it seems to have warped since last year… so my amazing hubby built us a brand new booth only 2 days before the show, and while it was a lot of work,  it was well worth it.  We enjoyed meeting so many of you!  If you saw us there, enjoyed seeing our work, or if we could answer any questions for you please don’t hesitate to shoot us an e-mail or call for a chat!  Happy wedding planning to you!

Kari Geary is a flower fashionista— or at least that’s what I think.  She is so incredibly talented at putting together unexpected elements in beautiful combinations that are so interesting and fresh!  We love her and her beautiful work with flowers!  If you missed seeing her this weekend at the show put her on the list of vendors to consider, she and her work are fabulous!

The Bride to Be is an amazing little boutique right here in Ft. Wayne.  The first time I went in the shop I went home to bemoan to my husband about how I might need to buy another wedding dress, of course I would marry him all over again, but a new dress— they have the yummiest!  Two fabulous sisters  Kate and Sarah, run the place.  They have a great eye for picking out classic gown with a fashion forward flair, plus we love that they are located in our neck of the woods, so don’t hesitate to set up an appointment at this swank little shop– you won’t be disappointed!

A Party Apart is one of those names I’m sure you’ve heard around town.  Kelly Geiser is an event planner for Party Apart and her work is beautiful.  If you want something unique I wouldn’t hesitate to call Kelly.  Here’s their display at this years bridal show— all that yummy candlelit glass- I love it!

Trista is one of those vendors we see over and over again.  She is so sweet and always goes above and beyond on wedding days. She’s incredibly flexible and will work with you to get you just what you’re looking for.  Don’t hesitate to give her a call.   Here are a few of her beautiful bouquets from the bridal show!  I love the use of dusty miller!
