Wedding Shows, Giveaways, and More
You’re popular. Everyone says so. They all want you at their events, in their spaces, around their tables, booths, and lounge seats. If you’ve got time to stop by the following shows and exhibits, I can guarantee the planners, florists, stylists, caterers, and other assorted designers, artisans, and dream-makers will be very happy to see you.
Where: Paper Zone in SoDo
What: Wedding Extravaganza, in which area vendors and you mix and mingle inside the stationery-and-more store and discuss ideas for all manner of wedding and reception celebrations. Guests include: Mike’s Amazing Cakes, Goodtimes Karaoke and Entertainment, La Vie Photography, Junebug Weddings, the Wine Outlet, and Celeste Cooning (pictured to the left).
When: Saturday February 19 from 11 to 3

A Stella Dot stylist will be at Swink Style Bar to help you think about your wedding-day look.

Your job is just to wander happily through and talk with folks like Pink Blossom Events, Panache Events, La Belle Reve, Paper Fling, Vintage Proverbs 3:56 and others.
