Veils & Vino

.

We hosted the 2nd annual Veils & Vino at Moorea Beach Club located at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Veils and Vino was an intimate Bridal affair to showcase all that Mandalay Bay has to offer for weddings. Chet Buchannan of the Morning Zoo on 98.5 was the Master of Ceremonies and was great at keeping everyone engaged. The weather was beautiful, the food and wine was amazing and everyone had a great time.
One of the highlights of the event was the fashion show that showcased the latest trends in bridal attire. At the endo of the show we tossed 5 bouquets in to the crowd of excited ladies, each bouquet was labeled with a prize, one of them being an engagement photo session compliments of Cashman Photo.
Thank you to everyone that participated in this successful event!

Wedding Day Shoes

.
.
Most brides spend weeks or even months trying to find the perfect wedding dress and accessories. Some brides even have their dresses made for them by a custom tailor. Most brides often forget their wedding shoes until the last minute, which is understandable considering all of the other things you have to do on your list. But ladies please don't forget your feet! Many mistakenly believe that no one will see their shoes. Not so! Exotic shoes can make great photo ops. Also remember that your shoes do not have to be white just like your dress, some of my favorite wedding photos have brides wearing hot pink or animal print shoes.
As you may consider custom wedding dress, the bride should also consider custom-made wedding shoes. Having your wedding shoes custom made for you means that you can choose your perfect heel height, material, style, such as feathers, pearls, crystals and flowers of any decoration.  Arbie Goodfellow is a custom shoe designer based out of Michigan. As you can see from the photos below she creates gorgeous shoes for weddings or any special occasion. My favorite little detail is the embellishments on the bottom.  Arbie handpicks all of her ribbons and embellishments during her travels through Europe.
I have selected some of my favorites from her website; however there are tons of shoes and other accessories. Please visit Arbie’s website at http://www.arbiegoodfellow.com I hope you enjoy looking at these art pieces as much as I do.
