..."Bragging on our Bridal Show"...(Just a little!)






























































We were at the Bridal Show at the fairgrounds in Sunday, and despite the temperatures, it was very well attended. A large variety of vendors offered services from limosines to photography, of course we offered "Sparkle"- Our Bridal Model for the day was Sasha. Thank you Sasha, (and Karenka for loaning us the gown!) I work with the nicest people! She was elegant in Karenka's gown, but I was so busy with guests that I didn't get to snap a picture until after she had changed. Even in her casual attire, she's still beautiful & modeling the green "Celedon" set for us. Millie wore the Sateen set, while she happily explained the opportunity to guests and offered them all the options we have to share. Pretty Priscilla modeled the Shannel set in silver, drop earrings, with her black and white gown, the Hollywood, and a bracelet called Gems, as well as a sparkler of a cocktail ring, she was sure shining. Melissa was a Princess in her gorgeous gown and the Tresure' ensemble. Thanks to both girls for their assistance, all day! Even helping to load up and clean afterward- These are some great kids! Not to mention Mayita, she's also a GEM. Peggy came by with some supplies & to lend support; we have the greatest boss! Ryan left, and surpised us when he returned with three steaming cups of our favorite coffee-He is the nicest son!
Over Millie and Mayela's shoulder in some of the pictures, you can see a poster to explain & draw attention to our charity connection, The Starlight Foundation. I love Park Lane ! The Starlight Bracelet is the piece associated with this benefit, & information can be
found on the Chillciothe Gazette forum, under "Shameless Plugs." Eliza, (Melissa named my mannequin), is modeling my own wedding gown from 20 years ago!
We set a very pretty table, and gave little lavender votive candles and handmade, scented soaps as 'Thank you's to our guests. We had the nicest guests! We played Bridal "Win, lose or draw" with the clues being names of wedding related movies. We covered everything from "Runaway Bride", "My big fat Greek wedding" and "Seven Brides for seven Brothers", even the "Bride of Frankenstein"! Jeriah and Louis were good artists, and so was Alex!
Mayela was also working with us; greeting guests, congratulating the "Brides to be",
and sharing in the enjoyable afternoon activities. Amber got the privilege of trying on Karenka's gorgeous gown, Leah and Sasha "attended" her. I caught her in the mirror in one shot... They played games and gave prizes, it was a lot of fun- Another Congrats to Jamie -she is a brand new bride, herself! Here's the Winner of our drawing for a Gift Certificate: Melissa!
Our Traces Earrings were won by a guest named Jay- Congratulations to both of them!
There's a picture of Chris and Krystal checking the phone, (probably a picture of her pretty hairdo) compliments of the Bridal Show. One of Chris & Arthur who helped us out whereever they were needed. Thanks guys! Glad to have had the opportunity to take part, meet so many
nice people, share our program and learn of others that are available as well. There's also a picture of us, three happy Parklaners, my wonderful friends sure "Sparkle."
If you made it out to the Bridal Show, I'm sure you enjoyed yourself. Gonna want to do this again next year! Thanks Tammy, from T&T Advertising, for the invitation!
You put on a great show!
