Well, the MML has had a very busy six weeks! We have had back to back weekends of bridal shows galore! From Menifee Lakes, to Ponte Winery, we have made our way from wine country to Newport Coast and the breathtaking Pelican Hill.  All of our shows have been a success; each one just gets better and better! Cannot wait till this weekend at the Beautiful Temecula Creek Inn for the First Annual MML Bridal Showcase! More details on the fan-tabulous Pelican Hill Show:

On March 8th, 2009 at Pelican Hill, an all inclusive upscale event took place which featured their beautiful oceanfront wedding venue and was hosted by the Festival of Brides. Maryann Bradley, owner and producer of the wonderful Festival of Brides, Bridal showcases has a motto: “Luxury, Quality, Integrity, Honesty, and Impeccable Service,” and for 19 years she has incorporated this motto into her upscale bridal events for the Los Angeles and Orange County areas and they are invitation only shows. The Marry Me Lounge was one of the invitee’s along with our Temecula neighbor’s, Ponte Winery, Deylete’s Catering ( The Castle) and Tasteful Cakes of Corona. We definitely had an Inland Empire presence that is for sure!
 
Pelican Hill had spectacular ballrooms, a Haute Couture Bridal Fashion Show by Erin Cole Bridal and a special guest appearance by renowned couture designer Rita Rivini. Live music provided by the Wayne Foster Orchestra and plenty of wonderful DJ’s. The food was indescribable! They passed out delectable hors d’oeuvres; including, chunky lamb chops, scrumptious shrimp skewers, Dungeness crab spoons with wine and champagne to wash it all down! Oh, I forgot the awesome tomato bisque.

 
Our booth was in the La Cappella Ballroom, snuggled between two picture windows that capture the drama of its setting so as to look onto the Pacific Ocean. We had Shawn Adams, the Creative Director with Ambiance Designs, design our space both, with the vision of the Marry Me Lounge and by his mission to bring attention, imagination and originality to each of his design concepts by focusing on individuality and interest to every detail. Allison with Temecula Creek Inn joined us at our booth to feature picturesque settings and ideal venues; such as, the Stone House, Creek side Guest House and Temet on the Greens, which can accommodate every aspect of the wedding experience for the destination bride.

 

Displayed on the Marry Me Lounge table, was a dessert bar by Decadence Fine Chocolates and The Polka Dot Apron.  Decadence Fine Chocolates had yummy Oreo dipped cookies and seasonal candy presented in large life size champagne and martini glasses (the new IN thing).  The Polka Dot Apron, a new vendor in our store, supplied their popular and all the rage dessert bars in lemon and chocolate caramel flavors (everyone LOVED them). Additionally, they exhibited their new Favor Cakes which are super cute and very clever.
 
We had a great turn out of brides who were very interested in what we are all about! We thank you all for your support and coming to our booth!
