Heart + Soul Wedding Event... and a surprise proposal!

You know that feeling when you just know something's going to be awesome? That tingly jolt in your stomach that tells ya, "Heck yeah!"? That excitement as you watch preparations come to life? Yep, that was Heart + Soul. It was such an amazing event to be a part of because the energy was infectious (well, which is easy when Roger and Kurt of Astro DJs are running the show!) and the vibe was fun.

Great eats came from Chef by Design and East Beach Catering. Great sweets from Cake Delights and Just Cupcakes. Great setups by The Attic at Waterman's and Aqua at Kings Creek Marina. Great eye candy from Maya Couture, Leslie Hartig Floral Design, and Bluebird's Garage. Great ambiance by Lighting Professors and Radiant. And of course, great coordination by Sunkissed Events & Designs and Roost Flowers & Design.

But that's not the only super awesome thing that happened... we had a real surprise proposal! A mega-brownie-point winner named Joe decided that Heart + Soul would be one fabulous spot to propose to his girlfriend, Mandy. Heck yeah he wins major brownie points! We wedding vendors live for this kinda stuff (which makes us in the perfect industry, of course). :) You're sure to be a little choked up as we were!

In the little Bit of Ivory corner, I have to give major shout out thanks to some incredible ladies who helped me that night and who made everything run super smooth. My two past brides Dreama and Amanda-- thank you for your continued support over the years; I love you two! My second shooter Stephanie and my go-to-setup gal Sarah-- you two are the best, and your help was appreciated! And of course, Kisha of Terebinth for being so wonderful with her amazing macarons (seriously, everyone made happy remarks/sounds after eating one!)! :)

So finally, without further ado, I'll let the photos talk... a curated, interactive wedding event in Hampton Roads at the MOCA with some very fabulous vendor friends with the similar vision of having a grand ole time with engaged couples.









































And now get ready!



















So within my space, I had some interactivity with some speech bubbles... and I asked attendees to tell me what their happiness was (because of course, the Jane Austen quote of "Know your own happiness.") :) And so, Pickles Barrington played her part and chose her winners at home!




Heart + Soul : An Interactive Wedding Event

Up until a few months ago, I was super jealous of my UK friends. And no, it wasn't because of their claim to Jane Austen or Percy Pigs... though that's already common knowledge with me. ;) It was because they toted on about these incredibly unique bridal events. I saw them pop up everywhere on my newsfeeds. The kind where you can have more than 10-minute conversations with couples, where you can laugh and move around an open space, and was a little exclusive in size... overall, it was intimate, totally cool, and personable.

When I received a personal invite from Becky of Roost Flowers and Designs, I kinda had a geek-out moment. The moment where "OHMYGOSH! I'm asked to be part of something awesome!!" or "I finally get to be like my UK buddies! Ha!" :)

So I present to you... a curated, interactive wedding event happening here in Hampton Roads at MOCA with some very fabulous vendor friends with the similar vision of having a grand ole time with engaged couples. It'll be set up like a mock wedding (ahh, kinda like Orchestrated but for brides! haha) There are only 200 tickets available to help set the tone for the personable atmosphere, so anyone interested needs to snap one up soon! And when you snap one up, let me know! I wanna meet you! :)
