I went to the best bridal showcase EVER!!!

Okay so most of them are like crazy with vendors shamelessly begging for your money.... BUT... I went to the showcase at Flowerfields today.. IT WAS AWESOME!!!

Okay.. So I admit, I have all of my stuff booked. I went to my tasting at the Vanderbilt Mansion and was a little sad that I couldn't taste the cocktail hour stuff, So the Bm told me to got to the showcase at the other Lovin Oven (my catering company) locations.... SO I brought my MOH..Leese... and one of my Bm's and my fh.

They had a cocktail room with amazing food (still only like 1/2 half of what the wedding will have), butler passes Hor D'orves, butler passed wine and champange and dessert drinks, a whole wall with Audreys Bake Shop, a bunch of sheet cakes to sample the different cakes and flavors, pastries, and the CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN.. (The one and only reason FH went to the show!!! )

Anyway.. our drunk butts stayed until the end and my florist (burtons, gave us some boquets.. I mentioned that I already booked them and they gave us more boquets and a centerpiece. I will post the arrangments I got and MOH, Leese will post the other ones and some other cool centerpieces we saw there (from other florists) I think I totally changed my mind to another boquet I saw that was really nice.

Also.. Whatever DJ leese is Booking (can't remember his name) IS AWESOME.. SHe molested him all night long at the tasting and he was soooo funny tonight... He totally gets the personality of our friend group and the whole vibe/theme of the wedding. After everyone was leaving he got some food and came and sat with us and dealt with us girl talking about our boobs and stuff... He WAS HILARIOUS!!!! He is making me 2nd guess my DJ!!!!

Anyway..these are the burtons flowers.. Not what I am getting.. just pretty and FREE

Glad to hear you had a good time. What is it about guys and the darn chocolate fountain? It's an obsession I tell ya! We just added it to ours because FH decided that he 'had to have it or else'...Hmm, wonder what or else would be? Maybe not marry because of the chocolate fountain?

That is odd...although I see we're you're getting married and you guys are probably paying a lot more pp than us, so he's like 'no more money, please!' Trust me, my fi would say the same!

It is an expensive place but only 110 people are coming.. we HOPE!! So it won't be that bad.. I guess the total cost keeps getting to him. He is from TN and they don't do big weddings.. like a few thousand $$ and that's it so I guess I have to have sympathy!

Trish - you are hilarious!

For everyone's info, the DJ is Mark Cord (owner) of Energy Entertainment. His phone number is 516-249-8844. Tell him Lisa sent you. He is great and not cheesey. (And I did NOT molest him at the Vanderbilt! )

Here are some pics that I took of the flowers....
