Exclusive FFA Leadership Center Bridal/Event Consultant




Wow, I just received word that I have been named the exclusive bridal/event consultant for the Indiana State FFA Leadership Center! What a great place for a wedding or gathering!!! Working with the FFA Center will be so much fun for me, since I am a ten year member of 4H and I have helped Southwestern High School's FFA program with their 'Flowers on the Farm' garden tour.
The FFA program is such an outstanding experience for young people both from rural and metro areas. In fact, one of the largest FFA chapters is in Chicago! FFA instills, leadership and knowledge for today and tomorrow.
Now, you DO NOT have to be a member of FFA to use the facilities. The grounds there are gorgeous with rolling hills, the perfect meadow for an outdoor wedding and a glimmering 5 1/2 acre lake. The center also offers two banquet facilities. They can accommodate 350 in the larger banquet facility and as many as needed outdoors. This venue is located on State Road 252, just east of Trafalgar. If you drive like me, it is about 30 minutes from downtown Indy. For more info, go to www.inidanaffacenter.com.

Art of the Table






It was such an honor and pleasure to be selected as this year's Day of Event Coordinator for the Indiana chapter of Association of Bridal Consultants "Art of the Table". Art of the Table is the largest annual event the ABC chapter hosts. In memory of ABC member, Betty Jackson, Art of the Table showcases the many talents of the very best bridal consultants, floral designers and decorators in our state. Proceeds from the event go to the American Cancer Society, Hamilton County Food Pantry and Indiana Chapter of ABC Scholarship Fund.
This year their were a record number of 27 tables, all with a different themes. We were awed with a record attendance of almost 500 guests! This is almost double from last year!! Talk about ideas! There were tables from classic to contemporary and fab to fun. All of the tables were detailed with beautiful linens, flowers, stationery and table ware.
I formed a group and we provided two tables. It was so much fun! One table was Wedding in Paris and the other was Birthday Bash.
Morgan Matters shot pictures of Jen Swathwood and I walking the most awesome standard poodles up and down the Broadripple Canal! We used these shots for place cards on our Parisian table. The dogs were gorgeous and so sweet! I really felt like I was in Paris! Our other table was decorated in a bright palette of mandarin orange, sunflower yellow, robin blue and meadow green. Floral cupcakes were carefully placed on our cupckae tree with all kinds of candy accents. It was such a fun table.
Thanks go to the members of my very valuable and talented group which include: Claudia from Charles Mayer and Co., Jen from Card Ink, Anna from Outstanding Occasions by Anna, Morgan from Morgan Matters Photography and Tiffany from Flowers by Tiffany. Working as a team we developed a theme and tried to delight viewers with beauty and fun.
Special thanks go to the Indianapolis Star and writer Julie Saetre for providing great coverage for me and the Indianapolis Musuem of Art for their great hospitality. Thank you to Anthony Wilson of On3 Photography for the awesome pictures.
If you have never attended Art of the Table, make sure to save the date for next year.
