Merry Monday: Bridal Party Field Day

 

 

What a better way for the bridal party to get to know each other and get over the pre wedding jitters than a field day before rehearsal dinner? Perfect for out of town bridal party members who may not know everyone. Plan events for the party so everyone has a chance to meet in a fun and relaxed setting. After the games are over, have everyone wash up and they'll be ready for rehearsal and a great wedding day! Tug of war anyone?

Wedding Wednesday: Notre Dame Trees

Ok, so this isn't exactly a wedding... but we were dying to share these trees and decor we designed and last week on the campus of Notre Dame. Be sure to check out the fabulous gift ideas offered at all Hammes Notre Dame Bookstores -Main Bookstore, The Varsity Shop at Purcell Pavilion , and The Hockey Shop at Compton Family Ice Arena.

  

nutcrackers... yes nutcrackers! a  must have collectors item.

Loved the vibrant colors we chose for each location...

The Hockey Tree

Being a former (high school) basketball player myself... this one is a nod to the ND lady Irish 

(I have a fondness for Skyler Diggins and love to watch her play!) Of course this is also the Men's Basketball tree!

Notre Dame Football...have you heard they're 10-0!

And we couldn't forget baseball and softball...

Go check it out! Great gift ideas... so make your list, check it twice and head to ND to shop!

Oh, and we're not done yet... we'll be on Eddy Street the week of November 26th to finish the Holiday Happenings Display and add some finishing touches to their holiday decor too! So be sure to mark your calendars for Dec. 1 for a visit to Eddy Street Commons!

Merry Monday: Inspired to learn...

Looking for a great new kids' bookstore filled with inspiring books and gifts?!... look no further- 

We had the joy of re-designing the Read&Things Jr. bookstore at Granger Commons.

A great new kids bookstore filled with inspiring books and toys for kids - babies to elementary school age. Go check it out. Open daily.

Wedding Wednesday: Ashley & Eric, August 25, 2012

Above all Ashely and Eric wanted a wedding that was fun! Ashley and her mother own a candy store and wanted to incorporate candy into their wedding and what is more fun than candy?! We had such a fun time creating this event!

The ceremony was held at the Hilton Garden Inn Outdoor Courtyard. 

Following the ceremony the reception was held in the ballrooms at the Hilton Garden Inn. 

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Ryan!

Merry Monday: Meet the Wedding Party

How fun is this idea from The knot? Post a photo of each member of the bridal party and tell how you met, why you chose them, and other fun facts. Then display them in a fun way at the reception. Would also be fun to have at the bridal shower!

Merry Monday!

Wedding Wednesday: Lighting

Wanted to share with you some photos of a wedding  we did a few months ago, to show what an impact lighting has on the overall feel of the event. 

Love the way the lighting really brought the whole room to life! We work with our go-to lighting company to achieve the overall atmosphere of the event! 

Venue: Century Center
