TSE 2010 Wedding Lunch







During our trip to New Orleans for this year’s Special Event 2010 our team had the opportunity to attend the annual Wedding Luncheon with Keynote Speaker Darcy Miller, Senior Vice President and Weddings Editorial Director for Martha Stewart Living. Darcy oversees every aspect of the weddings brand across all Martha Stewart. She recently wrote a book on scrapbooking and will actually be on Martha’s show this week talking about scrapbooking.

The Wedding Lunch theme was the Painted Landscape; the room was divided into three different natural worlds. The first world, Deep in the Woodlands, lined the perimeter of the room, tables fit for a forest, with deep tones of bark brown, eggplant purple, and moss green.



The Second landscape was a mead

ow filled with red blossoming tulips, which lined the center of the tables surrounded by candlelight.

The last landscape, which literally streamed through the middle of the room, consisted of waves of purple and blue floral connecting the tables to one another creating a beautiful

river.

Here are a few photos from the Wedding Lunch, which was held at The Hilton Riverside Hotel New Orleans

New Furniture Available




Wanted to share some of the new furniture Merry Me has for rental. These pieces are great for lounge atmospheres and very versatile as well. All in white vinyl for a very modern look. We've got the accessories to coordinate as well. We can't wait to use these for upcoming events! Did you know we also have a variety of vintage chandeliers? Great for that glamorous Hollywood soiree. Go check out these and other rentals we offer at Brides A la Mode in Granger. A great resource for Brides {and Grooms}!

Merry Me Gives Back









We had a great time yesterday working together as a team in a different sort of way. This year, Merry Me was able to give to the Christmas Offering at Granger Community Church in order to buy 75 tons of food to be distributed throughout Michiana. Despite the cold weather, this event warmed our hearts. Shelley made orange and purple scarves for us all to designate us as the Merry Me team. Lauren came to help; Rich joined his wife, Ami; Donny came with his fiance, Chanell; my husband, kids and parents all came out to unload trucks. We were a team, joined with others to distribute boxes of food and personal care items straight to the doorstep of those in need. What a great day! It feels good to give back. Blessed to be a blessing...

Carlisle| Lee Wedding 01.02.10





Here are some shots from this couple's simple winter wedding. The ceremony was held at the Marriott Ballroom, downtown South Bend. The reception venue: The Century Center Great Hall. We wish them lots of love and happiness as they begin their new life together. This is the couple I blogged about earlier 'opportunity, not obligation'. The event had great focus on the vows and commitment they were making to one another. We enjoyed being part of this with them! Blessings to you both as you begin your mission in Uganda!
