Cake, anyone?

Sunday/TOMORROW :) there's a bridal show in Bowling Green, KY, Bridal Fest 2011. While this isn't necessarily a local event, it is going to feature some local vendors. Two of our top cake decorators, Covered with Icing and Yaya'a Cake Shoppe, will both have booths at the show.

The best thing about a cake booth has to be the cake! Covered with Icing will be bringing Pink Champagne cake (HUGE hit at the Clarksville bridal show), Spice cake, Traditional White and Chocolate Cappuccino! Brides should "stop by my booth to sign in for a chance at drawing for a gift certificate towards $50 off their cake order and see some new color trends for 2011."
-Heather Noble, Covered with Icing



Yaya'a Cake Shoppe will be bringing mini cupcakes (adorable!), featuring a variety of flavors. "I am taking chocolate cupcakes filled with chocolate ganache, Strawberry with cream cheese icing, Red velvet with cream cheese icing, white cake filled with raspberry and lemon with lemon filling and butter cream icing."
-Gayle Howard, Yaya's Cake Shoppe

So, my Clarksville Brides, if you do make it to Bowling Green this Sunday, January 23rd (again, TOMORROW), don't forget to stop by Covered with Icing and Yaya's Cake Shoppe's booths to help support our local vendors!

*ATTENTION BRIDES*

Mention ClarksvilleBrides.com or that you were at the 2011 Clarksville Brides Weddings & Event Showcase and receive a 10% early bird discount off your wedding photography package from Bethany Ann Photography! This special promotion is valid only through February 9 so book now!

Bethany recently revamped her website, aka photo journal, with a new layout, new logo and TONS of new photos. She updates her site frequently so there's always something new to view.
"It’s a one stop shop for visitors. Whether you are looking for wedding images, family images, or pricing information, you can click around to your hearts content. And if you want to book a session or wedding, the contact information is always present at the top of the screen." -BethanyAnnPhotography.com

My favorite thing about Bethany's site has to be how personal it is. She doesn't just say "Here are some photos from John & Jane's wedding." She talks about what happened that day - her favorite moments, funny stories, and why she took certain photographs.

"I feel like I’m interacting with those who come to my site. I know that’s kind of weird, but it’s true. I feel like I’m just talking to all my friends out there on the Internet about life, as well as all the awesome weddings and photo sessions I photograph. :) Sure, I could just post photos and not say ANYTHING about the session, but that gets old. I want people to know about the amazing people in the photos, as well as viewing all the fun we had." -BethanyAnnPhotography.com

So remember brides, book by February 9 AND mention ClarksvilleBrides.com or being at the bridal show and receive your 10% early bird discount. Spread the word!

Model & Mingle!

Monday night, we attended the Model & Mingle (or Sip & Stare, as my hand model Blaire so affectionately named it) event at Beachaven Vineyards & Winery.



Hosted by Michele Gayler and other Stella & Dot consultants, the event was filled with wonderful wine, delicious food (loved the dainty cupcakes!) and an exciting array of the latest jewelry from Stella & Dot.




"Thanks to all the area stylists who put it on and to everyone who came!! The spring/summer line is definitely a hit!!"
