What do you get when you combine a 3 piece string trio, several vendor tables, food samples and gorgeous ladies modeling the latest bridal dresses?  A fantastic Bridal Fair !!!

That’s exactly what took place at this afternoon’s Bridal Fair held by Park Place Banquet Facility located at 406 W. Woodstock Street in Crystal Lake.   Brides-to-be were greeted by the beautiful sounds of chamber music and a room filled with ideas and choices of services and products for their special day.  Vendors were carefully chosen and included local businesses providing cakes, chocolates, massage, travel, hotel accommodation, bus services and formal wear.  Businesses of particular interest to many of the people who attended were:

Kiera’s Confections:  www.kieraconfections.com

Country Inn and Suites:  www.countryinns.com

That’s a Wrap! Creations:  www.ThatsAWrapCreations.com

Coach USA Company:  www.vangalderbus.com

Gipper Formal Wear:  www.gipperpromandpageant.com

And yes, Scrapping on the Spot was also there!  It was great talking to all of the Brides-to-Be and the family and friends that came with them.  All were very interested in the bridal shower services we provide and loved the fact that we could customize a scrapbook, take the photographs and complete their scrapbook during their shower.  Brides also found great interest in the handcrafted gifts they could give to their bridal party and families — all done to match their wedding design and theme.

We love telling people’s stories through their eyes and helping them preserve their moments in time…. and we’d love to help tell yours!

If ever there were a most adorable couple in the world, Lauren and David would certainly qualify for the title.  They will be exchanging vows next month and the excitement really began to show during their wedding shower this afternoon.  It was held in one of the lovely upstairs banquet rooms at the Makray  Memorial Golf Club in Barrington, Illinois, with spectacular views of the golf greens from its private balcony.

Scrapping on the Spot created an event scrapbook to capture their day using the bridal colors of black, lime green and white.  The room was decorated with beautiful white and lime green daisies, gift boxes of homemade chocolate fudge tied with lime green bows and a variety of accents that made the room come alive with color and celebration.  It was such an enjoyable afternoon with an abundance of smiles from all who attended.

Congratulations Lauren & David — here’s wishing you a future that is full of love and happiness !
