Things to Know about Trophy Cupcakes, Rosanna, From the Gown Up, and Cynderellie’s Closet

Have a good time here, now. Trophy Cupcake’s Party Room is open—and don’t miss the adjacent Party Store.
1. The Trophy Cupcakes location in Wallingford now has a party room directly across the hall from its sweets counter. If you’re looking to gather up to 50 of your favorite people to celebrate certain soon-to-be married folk, you should consider doing so inside the sweet old schoolhouse that is the neighborhood’s center. And if you’re just looking for inspiration, the Party Room can fill that request as well. At an opening party for the L-shaped joint last week, founder Jennifer Shea told me they plan to deck the place out in all manner of on-trend and inventive themes; in an effort to unveil the area’s most sought-after specialty decor, they’ll also host installations by local artisans like Patricia Minish and Curtis Steiner (both of whom were in attendance). Worth stopping by to take a look for sure. And don’t miss the Party Store, adjacent to the celebration space. Cake pedestals, vintage toppers, DIY how-tos, and more make up a party girl’s dream spree. I’m told you should direct questions regarding the Party Room to party (@) trophycupcakes.com
2. It’s that time of year again: the bi-annual Rosanna dishware sale is just a few days away. Many of our city’s top event designers and rental houses stock key pieces from the local designer’s party-ready lines; if you’re looking to DIY certain elements of the big day, or just trick out a pre-wedding party table, head to 6755 E Marginal Way S, Seattle, 98108, on Friday June 3 from 12 to 6 or Saturday June 5 from 9 to 3. And then, of course, you’ll want to keep your mind open to ideas for wedding party gifts, the coming holiday season, and more. All sales final; no checks, cards are only accepted for $50 and over sales, cash makes for the quickest transactions. Shop smart, people.
3. Racks of sample gowns are priced to move tomorrow, June 2, from 6 to 9 in Snohomish. From the Gown Up and Cynderellie’s Closet present past-season wedding dresses starting as low as $99. A portion of sales will go to local charities. The proceedings start at 6 with a fall fashion show; drinks and dessert follow. At 7, the sample gowns start flying off the racks. Where, you ask? The Antheia Ballroom, 213 Ave D, Snohomish, 98290. Call 360-563-9900 for more information.
