Congratulations to all the newly engaged couples!

It is an honor for me to be a part of your special day. I want it to be the way you have dreamed so my fee includes a planning meeting in my home so you can hear the music and we can work together to choose music with significance and beauty.

I am a full service harpist, meaning you get my experience, education, repertoire, attention, and consideration in planning the music for your wedding. With over 20 years of professional experience, I have the musical ability and knowledge to help you create the music of your dreams to match the wedding of your dreams.

Harp music is a great choice for weddings and receptions because it can provide a variety of music and set a variety of atmospheres. For your ceremony, your guests will enter to the elegant postlude and be swept up in the dramatic fanfare of the processional music. They can be delighted by the thoughtful entertainment you have provided that will welcome them with familiar, romantic music.

As guests are leaving they will remember the cheerfulness of the music and look forward to the reception that is awaiting them. For your reception, harp music is a wonderful backdrop for cocktails and dinner. Guests can enjoy the music, and yet still visit with their table-mates, or greet the happy couple. My repertoire is large enough to accommodate all musical tastes and can add that something special to your special day.

All Summer Bridal Show attendees will receive a coupon worth $20 off your wedding fee.

Malinda Elliott
www.malindaelliott.pureromance.com

As a society, we spend so much time maintaining our homes, our cars, even our lawns - but ask yourself honestly, when was the last time you maintained your relationship? Pure Romance empowers women by providing them with a wide range of playful ways to strengthen communication and increase intimacy since many women find it difficult to talk about sexuality with their doctors, families, and sometimes with their partners. A Pure Romance Girls' night with your closest and most trusted friends is the perfect way to make you feel 100% comfortable. No matter how personal your questions, I am trained to give you accurate information and I am committed to helping you enhance the quality of your relationships and intimate life. I specialize in romance enhancing products: beauty and bath items, novelties, and I have a wide variety of bedroom accessories. Look in your bridal gift bag for a $10.00 Pure Romance gift certificate!

Holy Cow, Cupcakes!
A Cupcakery by Karen

Let’s be clear, cupcakes are not mini-cakes, they are something else entirely! At Holy Cow, Cupcakes! with over 20 tantalizing flavors, we can prove it! Our cupcakes are baked fresh to every order and made in small batches to provide the best flavor and texture possible. Our cupcakes are made with the finest ingredients and we use local resources where available. These ingredients include: fresh sweet cream, whole milk (from cows using no antibiotics), pure Madagascar vanilla, Belgian chocolate, locally grown produce, and organically grown citrus. All Holy Cow, Cupcakes! are iced by hand and topped with a wide variety of sprinkles or sugar decorations and be customized to any monogram. All of our cupcakes go from oven to customer while never being frozen.

My Mom, Dad and Grandmothers are the inspiration from which Holy Cow, Cupcakes! bloomed. I was propped up against a kitchen counter to help before I could say my ABCs. My husband and I began Holy Cow, Cupcakes!, Carmel’s first cupcakery, as a homage to them. I hope to continue their legacy with the making of simple, delicious cupcakes that are a part of your lives as they have been part of mine.

Over 100 RSVPs!

YAY! I just realized that we now have over 100 brides that have already RSVP'd for the show and the cool thing is that there's still 42 days until the show. :) We have a few spots left for some last minute vendors to sign on so if you're a vendor who has held out, I wouldn't wait any longer! ;)

Only 13 more spaces left!

Just a quick note to let you all know that we only have 13 booth spaces left for the Summer Bridal Show, and the "Wedding Coordination" category is now filled and on a waiting list. Don't wait, sign up for your space today!

Booth spaces are 1/2 gone!

We just opened up the booth registrations to the public last night and by morning, they were half filled already! Woo-hoo! :) We only have room for 1 more event planner and 1 more invitation vendor and then those two categories are filled up. We also only have 1 more indoor space left that we will have to reserve for the caterer so we will only be accepting booth reservations for outdoor spaces from here on out. We are very limited with indoor space for this show since they have more inventory during the summer than they do during the holiday show. If you are a vendor who is considering participating in this show, don't wait any longer, SIGN UP NOW!

Selling out fast!!

WOW! We just launched the Summer Bridal Show website yesterday and there was a special link emailed to our previous vendors to give them the first opportunity to reserve their booth space again (since they've supported our past shows) and within 24 hours, we've already filled up 1/3 of our booth spaces available! The special link will transfer to the regular SummerBridalShow.com domain name on Monday and be opened to the public for booth reservations (assuming we don't sell out before then!) so if you've previously participated in one of our shows and you're thinking of signing up for this one, don't delay!

We'll begin showcasing each vendor once the site goes live to the general public so keep checking out the blog for updates! :)
