cake | Elegance and Elevé

This past spring I was asked to be a part of an event at the San Diego County Fair, titled “My Big Fair Wedding,” an all day bridal show, complete with 15 real life weddings happening throughout the day. What an event!! It was the first time in my career I helped work on something for several months, and really had an overwhelming sense of pride and joy by the events end. I met a lot of great vendors through MBFW, and we have continued to do work together since. each vendor was given a booth just like at a Bridal Show, where they could showcase their individual talents. Florists, Wedding Planners, Hair and Make up Teams, Caterers, DJs, Officiants. As for Elevé, we had a booth with a few cakes on display, as well as several thousand mini cupcake samples, and some of our “Sweetest business cards you’ll ever get.”

The week before MBFW, the event was promoted on San Diego Living News- Elevé’s first time on television! A great accomplishment. Click here for the video

With 15 weddings spread out throughout the day, each came with their own personal touches. Some couples came alone and others with an entire bridal party! For someone who was newly obsessed with weddings, 15 in one day was better than Christmas. 15 dresses. 15 styles. 15 different couples completely in love. I was enchanted.

The lace on the top of this dress is just gorgeous- it was my favorite of the day. Simple, elegant, looked comfortable.

Of course there were some amazing floral arrangements at the event, showcasing different styles. One part of weddings I still can’t pick a favorite on- I love all styles of flowers!! Big bouquets, small bouquets, succulents, feathers, bling. Here are some of my favorites from the day:

Here are some pictures from the Elevé desserts booth:

At first I was concerned because after all the work I had put into the event, I wasn’t getting a big response. Until slowly but surely, I started getting emails from clients and vendors alike who were interested in doing work with me. And there started my big fair DOOR OPENING wedding venture!

Until Next time!
