Party at The Phoenix

elegant wedding centerpiece with peach Phalaenopsis orchids, Star Blush spray roses, contorted filbert branches, Nephthytis, philodendron, fluffy ruffle fern, and ivy in a silver compote by Floral Verde LLC Cincinnati, OH I brought this centerpiece of Phalaenopsis orchids and blush spray roses to the vendor appreciation night at The Phoenix last night. My good friend, Courtenay Lambert was kind enough to introduce me to some of the best vendors in Cincinnati. Laura at Leppert Photography is sweet, and incredibly talented to boot. Check out one of her recent weddings here. Ileana at Sugar Realm has a background in architecture, and creates exquisite cakes. Finally, Glen Goodwin at Goodwin Lighting can transform a venue with his lighting (no kidding). I’ve added links to their websites on the right side of my blog. Please check them out.

NACE Tabletop Wow 2010

In April I participated in the NACE (National Association of Catering Executives) Tabletop Wow 2010. Liz at The Parsonage was sweet enough to invite me to join her all-star group. The theme was the movies, and our movie was Moulin Rouge.
