Wedding Planning Fun

I have a couple of friends who are getting married next year as well and we all went to a Bridal Extravaganza at Hotel ZaZa a couple of weeks ago and it was reallllly nice ! I love this hotel and though I have never stayed here, I have been to several parties here, Happy Hours & the Sunday Brunch. It is quite a swanky little spot and we spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon there.

They had a lot of vendors and though I am only looking for a few that can help me here since I am having a destination wedding, it was totally worth my time.They had Butlers walking around passing out Hors d'ouevres and unlimited flutes of Champagne kept finding there way to us, now that's my kind of party !

They had tables set up like actual weddings

Models walking around in wedding dresses...

They have these "concept suites" on the top floor and they had one of them opened up and they were actually giving free chair massages there. I made a new friend named " Brandon" and I will be looking for him at their Spa the next time I am in the area, LOL.



This cocktail was called "The Flirt " and was quite tasty...

Me and my fellow future bride-to-be

After the event was over, me and my friends sat on the Patio for a while. We watched in horror as the workers began to tear down the tables they had set up for the event and toss thousands and thousands of fresh flower arrangements into garbage bags ! I know this is typically what happens after a wedding but it was just crazy to see it. We went into one of the ballrooms and asked if we could take some home & they gladly let us do so as they continued to toss the flowers in the trash !  I had some beautiful fresh flowers for about a week at home.

Thankful: Day 4 Appreciation

I spent most of the day working in the field but stopped in my office for a few hours this afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised to find these sitting on my desk.  I must be honest, I initially thought these were from my man,  LOL, but after reading the card, I discovered they were from my lovely sister. Last month I planned and hosted her 40th Birthday Bash I told you about here, and she just wanted to surprise me and let me know she appreciated all that was done to make the party a success. 

They were beautiful and I got so many compliments on the arrangement.She timed it just right because I am off Friday, so I brought them home to enjoy the extended weekend.

Today I am thankful for being appreciated.

I am thankful for the beautiful flowers.

I am thankful for the smile they brought to my heart.

What are you thankful for today ?
