I recently had the opportunity to attend a bridal showcase hosted by the newly renovated Madison Beach Hotel. Guests were treated to “Blushing Bride” cocktails and delicious hors d’oeuvres while meeting with select vendors chosen to work with the hotel. This is me, pictured below, next to my table chock full of timeless photo albums, fine art canvases and a few elegant and vintage frames from The Organic Bloom that I offer in my packages.
Much like a bride-to-be and her family, I got to taste test foods and meet with these creative and highly sought after vendors to see what they were all about. It was so much fun and I couldn’t wait to bring them to you via the blog! The photos below introduce you to Everthine Bridal Boutique and Ambiance Luxe Wedding Designs. Chelsea (from Everthine) and Erica (from Ambiance) were so sweet and they both have a great eye for detail! I was so sad to miss Everthine’s recent Grand Opening soiree, but I am going to be stopping by to swoon over all the gorgeous dresses very soon! Ambiance (you’ve definitely heard of their work before) recently rebranded so take a minute to look at their new site design and please consider them for your event planning!
This vintage decor reminds me of my very elegant Grandmother (Vera), and the fabrics, lace and china make me want to get married all over again but hire these ladies to style me and take charge of all the details!!
I was thrilled to finally meet the fabulous Josie from Beneath The Gown, and I quickly snapped a photo of this bridal robe and “something blue” that she had on display! Don’t you just see yourself wearing this pre-wedding… and on the honeymoon, while having breakfast in bed?! Changing topics, the savory and sweet details below also come from the master chefs at the hotel, from Take The Cake in Guilford, and Given Fine Chocolates & Indulgences in Madison. All of them absolutely delish!
If you are looking for a shoreline venue for your wedding, corporate party or event, The Madison Beach Hotel comes complete with a swanky bar area, one ballroom (making it private and intimate), a bridal suite for prep, hotel rooms for guests, and it overlooks the Long Island Sound during sunset! Here’s a peek at some of the creative floral displays and table decor by Bakes & Baldwin Floral Company in the ballroom with up-lighting provided by Rob Alberti Event Services.
A very big thank you to Beth from the Madison Beach Hotel for her wonderful work on this event and for being one of the kindest in the industry to work with. It was so nice to meet all of the new vendors mentioned here, there were many others (friends and colleagues) that we know well, but I wanted to introduce my clients to a few new people to help with their searches. Cheers to all of the brides and grooms-to-be that came out to say hello to Afterglow Photos, and we hope you have found your perfect vendor matches for 2012 and beyond!
