2013 WEDDING WALK TACOMA... CHECK!

Like any grand event, so much time and effort goes into one day, and like that... it's all over. I had a wonderful time working with Gina Lillie of A Greater Plan Weddings and Events Consulting and meeting other amazing vendors that, like me, are living the entrepreneurial dream. Here are a few photo collages of our collaborative work.

To get an idea of how this design evolved... Google the artist, Alexander Calder prints and then William W. Philip Hall, U of W Tacoma. Using the contemporary style of the artist and architectural elements of the venue, this is what I designed to compliment Gina's vision for the event space.

TOUR OF HOMES

It dawned on me yesterday that Wedding Walk Tacoma is like Tour of Homes. You know what I'm talking about, don't you? Did you ever go to one as a kid, or around Christmastime? You get to see all these amazing homes all decorated with beautiful things. THAT'S exactly what Wedding Walk Tacoma is like, but you get to taste delicious food from various caterers, sample amazing cakes from local bakers, admire floral arrangements like no others, and meet the talented event planners that pulled it all together in five different homes... oh, I mean venues! Be sure to swing by this Sunday, February 24th between Noon and 5pm. Purchase your passports for Wedding Walk Tacoma at William W. Philip Hall at U of W Tacoma, stroll through the five venues filled with local talent, and then end your evening with dinner on the Tacoma waterfront. Sounds like a fun-filled day to me. We hope to see you there.

WEDDING WALK TACOMA

A little Monday morning reminder as I scurry around the studio finalizing paper details... Wedding Walk Tacoma is Sunday, February 24th 12:00 - 5:00 pm. It's a must attend event for those who are planning a special event in 2013. Be it a College Graduation, Wedding Weekend, 50th Anniversary or Company Party... there are dozens of local vendors ready to show you their talents! Tickets are on sale now. Swing by and say hi... Originals is debuting wedding stationery with Team A Greater Plan at U of W Tacoma / William W. Philip Hall.

WEDDING WALK TACOMA 2013

Bridal shows aren't what they used to be, Wedding Walk Your City is different! Rather than sending bridal couples up and down isles and isles of vendors sitting at tables, Wedding Walk Your City chooses a number of venues (in select cities), and within each venue an event planner presents their talents by decorating the space using other fabulous vendors, i.e. linen rentals, florists, caterers, cake designers, musicians, photographers, and yes... stationery designers like me!

Above are photos from Wedding Walk Port Orchard that I participated in last winter. The bridal couples experienced the design talents of Gina Lillie, A Greater Plan Events & Consulting  at Gold Mountain Golf Club. I designed a wedding stationery suite that included: Save The Dates, Wedding Invitations, Ceremony Programs, Escort Cards, Place Cards, Table Numbers, Menus, Signature Cocktail Sign and, well, I think that covers it!

It's a wonderful concept and must-see event for bridal couples and business people alike. If you know a couple that's getting married or a business professional that plans a lot of corporate events in the Seattle/Tacoma area... please, please, please tell them about this incredible opportunity to network with local professionals and see for themselves the amazing talent in one fun-filled afternoon.
