I'm packing my bags and heading to The Fair!
The Independent Wedding Fair!
The Independent Wedding Fair!
Many of you probably know me as a floral designer. But I also wear another hat: I'm a proud member of the Independent Wedding Association, a group of Twin Cities-area wedding vendors (photographers, bakers, florists, musicians and more) dedicated to providing great value and warm, personal service.
Sunday, Nov. 14, 12-4pm, we're putting on a very special event at
The Varsity Theater:
The Independent Wedding Fair!
The Varsity Theater:
The Independent Wedding Fair!
In a nutshell, it's a gathering of local vendors who meet future brides and grooms in a no-pressure, highly relaxed environment. The emphasis is on having an event that's both fun and fulfilling for everyone involved; we'll have cake samples, "Ask the Experts" panels, and live music.
This year also marks the debut of the "Not So Real Wedding," a whole wedding (and cocktail hour) condensed into one hour to let you watch wedding vendors work their stuff.
You can learn more and buy tickets here -- please pass this note along to anyone you know who might be looking for an alternative to the "bridal industrial complex" -- we're hoping to share the experience far and wide!

The dedicated vendors at this fair will knock your socks off with their personalities and talents. This fair will not be overwhelming; it will be fun. You can learn to dance, eat cake and chill out on a cushy chair while talking to local vendors about flowers, invitations and fashion in the same afternoon! I can't wait to talk to brides about their engagement stories, the dress and, of course, flowers. Can you tell I'm just a bit excited?
:)
With Best Wishes,
Ashley
