We are so thrilled to finally see the Elegant Bride Summer 09 spread featuring our wedding for Hillary Rich and Will Herring.

Here are some of Liz Banfield’s (our wonderful photographer) favorite shots:

Here are some of Soiree’s favorite that weren’t included:

Her hair was one of the freshest so far, with the half front braid, and mega bun.

Clockwise from top left: after dinner lounge detail; custom silly string which we used for the bride and groom departure; overall shot of the super sleek after dinner lounge

Clockwise from left: antique Rolls Royce and hand made paper flowers made for a stylish departure; guests were able to take home extra wedding cake; we bought inexpensive and comfy Chinese slippers for dancing

Top: Drayton Hall Plantation house lit at night along with the dinner tent; bottom: detail shot of the lounge bar

We had a custom entrance tent made as guests entered for cocktail hour

Engage 09!

Tara in the Grand Cayman’s right now for the big Engage 09! Summit. I can’t wait to hear all of the juicy details and learn about all of the industry hot topics. I know that Abby Larson of Style Me Pretty is there, so hopefully I’ll get some good blogging tips.

I did just hear from her that she won a trip for 4 to the Cayman Islands- sounds like a Soiree retreat is on the horizon!!!!!!!!

Save the Tatas…

Our favorite make up guru, Leslie Moore of Moore Make-Up, has recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I’ve known Leslie for years and am so thankful to get to work with her too. She’s an amazing gal, and I know that she will beat this… Follow her journey at her blog, Warriors Wear Pink (http://www.warriorswearpink.blogspot.com).

I love the natural radiant look she gave our bride, Carter Samis.
