Here is what brides had to say…

“I thought I knew so much about weddings, and coming made me realize how much I didn’t.”

“Really enjoyed the day – felt pampered. Classy, informative event. Would definitely recommend to friends.”

“Keep the numbers small like today. It feels more personal, and vendors have more time to spend with individuals.”

“It was a fantastic day! Love the space, vendors, speakers and food! Thank you!!!”

“Really had a great time… learned a lot in the breakouts.”

We would love to have you at this interactive, innovative wedding conference!

I also want to show you some of what we did last year! We had such a wonderful time. There is always a warm welcome from Hill City Bride and it’s wonderful staff.

We also have fun gift bags filled with things and programs to help guide you through the day.

Brides also get to wear something fun to set them apart.

What makes Bliss set apart is its informative, fun and interactive workshops. You will learn a lot AND have fun!

Oh, and don’t forget… we have door prizes!

The Idea Bar is filled with ideas to get brides thinking about little touches for their wedding.

Our vendors are friendly and are ready to chat with you and find out your wedding needs. They always have such beautiful booths!

There is also an assortment of delicious food to eat. Yum!

Brides have a great time learning with others, whether it is their mom, future mother-in-law, sisters, bridesmaids or friends. Even a brave groom shows up every once in a while.

Our annual photo booth will also add to the fun.

And last, but certainly not least… one of our lucky brides will go home with a HONEYMOON!!! What a fun prize! Here is last year’s winner.

Everyday Wedding by Crystal George Studios – Robierre & Christine

Brides, don’t forget that Bliss, a fine wedding fair is coming up soon. Be sure to register here … so fun!!

Our 2012 edition of our wedding publication, clutch, the bride’s guide to have and to hold, was so fun to put together, and the “everyday weddings” are no exception. I wanted to take the time to show you some of the photos that didn’t make it into the print edition, and you will find many more areas of inspiration … including a plethora of bridesmaids all in the same color with different dress styles. Here is what we had to say in our wedding issue about their wedding:

Christine and Robierre had been friends for quite a while, until one day all it took was a look for them to realize that they were both in love with their best friend. There was a slight chill in the spring air as this couple said their nuptials and capped it off with a reception filled with dancing and singing. They both have a quirky sense of humor, and their Kenyan wedding was fun … just like them.

And here is what Christine had to say about her special day:

My husband and I are both Kenyan, and we moved to the US when we were both around 20. His family still lives in Kenya, and mine lives here. It was important for us to incorporate our culture simply because it is who we are. Plus, it is lots of fun! We actually had a mix of cultures since we are both from different ethnic groups and thus slightly different cultures. We also wanted our family in Kenya to feel part of the ceremony and see parts of it (on video) that they recognize.

Enjoy perusing their wedding and as an update, this sweet couple welcomed their first baby in 2012. How exciting!
