handpicked bridal event + giveaway II


Lovelies, it's been too long! I've missed you so! 

I have something so lovely to post about today, and love that its getting me to blogging when I have been so busy and in a funk for so long now. But enough about me, lets talk about parties!


The first Handpicked in December 2013, was breathtaking to say the least. Complete with a smores bar, delish drinks, sweet chocolates, hot cocoa bar, THE BEST of the best vendors, fun music, photo booths, and just so much more. I took my mom with me for a girls night out, and we had such a great time.

If you read my blog by now you know I adore weddings, and they hold a special place in my type-A, list making, planner heart. You would also know by now my excitement about this new bridal event that's taking our area by storm. I had the amazing opportunity to attend the first one in December (which was a-mazing) and give away a pair of tickets to one lucky winner.

Myself, mom, and some friends enjoying the photo booth on the way out. 

Just as I was last year I am so super excited for this event because there is nothing like this for future brides in this area. This event is all about bringing you the best of the best vendors, not filling a ballroom with hundreds of vendors to overwhelm you. 

This event is the brain child of the incredibly talented Baci Designer (aka local wedding guru who's been featured on the like of LaurenConrad.com!). I'll let the team at Baci give you the run down on this lovely little event.

Even if you're not engaged it will be a fabulous night with your girls! For $20 you get to eat, drink, dance, mingle, and do something different! 

Anyway here is the extra fun part...

I am GIVING AWAY a pair of tickets! Valued at $40 and a lot of fun! 
The catch? You have to enter over on my Facebook page.

This giveaway will be open for one week, so that if you don't win you have plenty of time to snag your tickets. I should also point out, that the sooner you buy your tickets the better because you get first dibs on booking the complimentary make-up and hair services at the event (which I am sure will fill up quickly).

You can buy your tickets HERE.

Good luck on the giveaway (enter HERE), hope to see you at the event!
