We are delighted to report that our work was recently featured on Style Me Pretty (one of THE wedding blogs to follow) in a post about a bridal shower coordinated by Dooby Design Group.  Aisha, the genius behind Dooby Design, asked us to photograph this event several weeks ago, but we weren’t allowed to post until the Style Me Pretty readers got the first peak.  Now that their post has gone live, I can finally share some delicious details from this event.  For more information and detail, please check out the Style Me Pretty post.

Aisha chose a bright and cheerful color combination for this event and everything coordinated beautifully.  The highlight of the room though, was undoubtedly the exquisitely arranged candy bar.  Before we get to that, note the cute signage used throughout.  Dooby Design also provided similar signage (there must be a prettier, fluffier term for that, but I’m a tomboy) for our open house event this past May.

After we left, I confessed to Andy that I was dying to sample the blue twizzlers, but of course, I didn’t dare.  Andy immediately was like “OMG, me too!”.   We then spent 5 minutes trying to guess what flavor they could have been.  Blue raspberry?  I hope so.

Dooby Design Group is located in Ypsilanti, MI and can be reached at (734) 786-1620.  Tell ‘em we sent you!  :)

At any rate, it affords me the opportunity, finally, to gush about our open house we had last week at The Event Studio.

We were absolutely in awe of all the wonderful people who came out, despite the rain, and visited last Thursday. It truly went beyond all expectations and we were amazed. I can’t get too much farther into this post without expressing our heartfelt thanks to Lindsey Nartker, who was the brains behind the entire operation. Lindsey transformed the studio, which is already pretty awesome looking, into an even more magical looking space.

We were helped along with some of Lindsey’s favorite vendors, including Dooby Design Group, which was responsible for the fabulous signage and the menus featured on the table above. Outside, two tents were erected at the last minute (booo, rain!) to protect the yummy desserts area. Our friends at Motor City Cafe provided a selection of mouth-watering Italian desserts, and we also had a frost-your-own-cupcake station by Sweet & Savory Bakeshop. As if that wasn’t enough there was also a smores station set up with these adorable cast iron marshmallow toasters, and tucked into the hallway inside was a candy bar.

Another special thanks goes out to New Creations by Kate, for providing the flowers that decorated the entire space, indoors and out.

It was great to catch up with some of our clients who were kind enough to join us. There number of visitors we had was overwhelming, so I sincerely apologize that we didn’t get to talk to some of you as much as we wanted (Meredith!). It really meant a lot of to us that so many people turned out and we’d like to thank everyone who was there. At times it’s hard to believe this is all really happening to us. I didn’t by any stretch of imagination envision us having a studio space any time soon, so if I looked like a deer in the headlights, it’s only because at times this seems so surreal to me. We feel so fortunate to have made such great friends with other local vendors and look forward to meeting more people, prospective clients and vendors alike, as we get busier.

Overall the night was a HUGE success and we were so pleased with everything. Thanks again to wedding planner extrodinaire Lindsey, who started off with a great vision and made it a reality.

Are you getting hungry yet?

I really like how their logo tied together with their wine, menus, and signage outside – everything is really nicely coordinated.

Motor City Cafe is located at 1949 W Maple Rd. in Troy, MI.  They are actually just a few minutes from our studio and we dropped in a second time about 2 weeks after we were there for the grand opening.  We definitely recommend this place.  Think of it as an upscale Coney – nicer decor and atmosphere, and along with some expected favorites you can also find some delicious Italian dishes on the menu.  I’m Italian, and therefore have pretty high expectations for Italian food, and this place gets my seal of approval.  Andy was talking about the Shrimp Leonardo for like 3 days after the Grand Opening. 

The staff and owners are absolutely awesome and make everyone feel like family!

Thank you to everyone at Motor City Cafe, especially Rose.  We will definitely be back and wish you success!
