On Saturday August 7, 2010 I was honoured to help this sweet couple perfect their dream wedding. They were a wonderful couple to work for. The Ceremony was held at 1:30pm at a quiet spot in Confederation Park, North West Calgary. The weather could not have been better. Klaus Ohlhoff did a wonderful job at an intimate ceremony for 70 guests. The Bride and her Bridesmaids were serenaded in by the fabulous Dolche Amaute Duo. Following the ceremony the couple went with Kevin Stenhouse and his Assistant for pictures around Confederation Park and Rundle Ruins. The Reception was held at 5:30pm in the Penthouse of the Fairmont Palliser Hotel. The food and service at the Palliser was above exceptional. Dan McNeil from Hi Tech Productions had the walls uplighted blue to match the decor and the ceiling was cascading with waterfall lights. It was stunning when the sun set while a brief lightning storm hit Downtown. He kept the party going with his excellent selection of music. The couple enjoyed their day to the fullest. I was pleased to help!

Tutu Cute!

Another neat idea for your little Flower Diva is to dress her in a handmade tutu! You can have them made in any color and size for the special sweetie. If you don’t have a Flower girl, why not have one made for each little girl attending your wedding and have it sitting on her seat for the Reception…because they are just too damn fabulous and she can shine with her tutu when the music starts!

Baby Tutu – $20
Baby tutus are made with a 14″ waist and are 7″ in length with yards upon yards of tulle. Baby tutus are great for girls 0 to 6 months.

Ballerina Tutu – $25
Ballerina tutus are made 9″ in length with yards upon yards of tulle. Ballerina tutus are great for girls 6 months and up.

Princess Tutu – $30
Princess tutus are 12″ or 14″ in length with yards upon yards of tulle. You choose the waist size from 12 months to 8 years old.

Knotted Tutu – $35
Knotted tutus are either 9″, 12″ or 14″ in length with yards upon yards of tulle. The ends of the tutu are knotted with a coordinated color of tulle. Great for girls ages 12 months to 8 years old.

Custom Tutu
If you do not see the tutu style, waist size or color combination you want, please make a note with the girls and we can special order your tutu. You can also choose a coordinating satin wrapped waist that ties in a bow. We look forward to working with you to make the perfect tutu for your little one!

Want to add a color to your Bridal Gown but don’t want a sash that screams 2008! Finish your dream gown with a colored crinoline skirt. Make it long enough to peak out as you walk or short enough that only you can reveal it with a simple flip or twirl of a dance. It also makes for a great photo prop. Weddings are a new opportunity to express your unique style and personalities! BE FREE!

I would like to introduce the newest Drama Queen on the block. My little Princess was born on March 8, 2010 weighing 5lbs 4oz! I have recently started taking clients for 2011 and it is already looking like a busy year. I only took on a few clients for this summer as I wanted to focus mainly on being a MOMMY!
