Wedding Crashers 2012

We've already given a little love to this awesome event on our inspiration blog, but it's only fitting we bring it to our wedding blog too!

Here's Danielle's recap on our Wedding Crashers experience.

THIS PAST SUNDAY, JES AND I HAD THE PLEASURE OF REPRESENTING THE PARLOUR BROOKLYN AT WEDDING CRASHERS. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T KNOW, IT’S A FANTASTIC WEDDING FAIR HELD AT THE GREEN BUILDING IN GOWANUS.

       

                               
                                              SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LOCATION.


THERE WERE OVER FORTY VENDORS THERE FROM ALL OVER BROOKLYN HELPING HAPPY COUPLES PLAN THEIR SPECIAL DAY. 
OUR TABLE WAS SIMPLE AND ELEGANT, AND IN A PRIME LOCATION. RIGHT IN BETWEEN THE GOOD PEOPLE OF HERB N PEACH, AN AWESOME CATERING COMPANY WITH DELICIOUS FOOD, AND THE LOVELY LADIES OF BY BROOKLYN, A SHOP IN CARROLL GARDENS SELLING ALL KINDS OF BROOKLYN MADE GOODS. 
WE ALSO GOT TO MEET, AND DEVELOP TOTAL MUTUAL GIRL CRUSHES ON THE WONDERFUL LADIES OF TINSEL & TWINE, A BROOKLYN BASED EVENT DESIGN SHOP. I WAS IMMEDIATELY DRAWN TO THEIR LOVELY SENSE OF STYLE, AS WELL AS THEIR FABULOUS HAIR AND MAKEUP (OBVI). WE EVEN GOT A SHOUT OUT ON THEIR BLOG! TAKE A GANDER. AND PLEASE LOOK TO THEM FOR ALL OF YOUR PARTY PLANNING NEEDS…I KNOW I WILL.

ON TOP OF PROMOTING ALL OF THE GIRLS HERE AT THE SALON, WE ALSO BROUGHT ALONG SOME OF OUR DEAR FRIEND ASHLEY RUPRECHT OF FAETH MILLINERY’S CUSTOM MADEFASCINATORS. WE MANAGED TO HAND OUT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HER CARDS, WHICH WAS NOT A DIFFICULT TASK. THEY WERE A HIT!
                         

NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WAS A WONDERFUL EVENT THAT I WAS PROUD TO BE A PART OF. BROOKLYN IS SUCH A GREAT PLACE. IT’S ALMOST OVERWHELMING THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY THERE IS BETWEEN SMALLER BUSINESSES. EVERYONE WANTS TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT. IT WAS A DAY FULL OF FRIENDS, FOOD, A FEW FANCY COCKTAILS, AND OF COURSE, SILLY PHOTOS…

                                                       10:00 AM, FEELIN’ PRETTY.
                             

                                                    3:00 PM, FEELIN’ TIRED.
                       
                            
WE WERE A GOOD TEAM, MATCHING HAIR AND DRESSES.

Photos from our 2nd Annual Wedding Event

A few Sundays ago, we invited some talented Brooklyn Based ladies in the wedding industry to have some cocktails and noshes and chat up some newly engaged brides to be.


Our signature cocktail, the Blushing Bride was exquisite, but Amy and Laura of Radish went above and beyond with their selection of small bites.


An impromptu collaboration happened when Nackie, Jessa and Ashley went to work on salon friend, Kate's look for the day. Nackie whipped together a stunning 40s inspired up do, Jessa did a complimentary pin up style make up application, and Ashley topped her off with one of her magnificent custom fascinators.


Sarah from Bedford & Co filled the space with gorgeous flowers, while Jenna of Love, Jenna made some beautiful signs for everyone with her signature calligraphy. The best neighbors ever, In God We Trust, were on hand with their commitment jewelry line. And rounding out our group, last but certainly not least, Sara Wight took tons of awesome photos you're looking at that really captured the spirit
