Pink Friday Coming Up Roses

Please join us Friday October 24th for "Coming Up Roses"

I’ve never seen a rose I didn’t love. From the first blossom of spring, gently swaying in the breeze, to an intricately stitched needlepoint, rich in history, I love them all.
Roses represent so many wonderful things and are often used to celebrate special milestones such as weddings, births and anniversaries. Roses have also been used throughout the centuries in estate and cottage gardens, home décor and fashion. Milliners used silk roses to embellish the finest hats, while seamstresses stitches the richest brocade drapes adorned with roses. Throughout the years, famous artists have studied and painted every aspect of the rose. Antique lithographs and post cards from the 1800s grace our homes today with their everlasting beauty while roses continue to gracefully fit every lifestyle and décor. If you have a soft spot for roses, won’t you please join us for PINK FRIDAY at Make Mine Pink on Friday October 24th. The boutiques at Make Mine Pink are pleased to present “Coming up Roses.”

Wedding Before And After

What a dramatic transformation! I thought you might enjoy taking a peek at our past wedding. Take a large gymnasium, a few thousand yards of tulle, organza and silk, thousands of twinkle lights, hundreds of flowers and a Bella Day Production design team and an amazing transformation takes place!

Our dramatic before and after pics show you just what can be done to what some might consider to be a less desirable wedding venue. A church or school gym, or even a National Guard Armory often rents for a fraction of the cost of other wedding venues.

So if your wedding budget is a bit tight, don’t give up on your dream wedding, with an open mind and a good designer anything is possible! What a dramatic transformation!

Holy Cow…We Won!

We were so blessed this past weekend to be the winners of the Business Recognition Award at the Make Mine Pink Retreat in Williamsburg VA! Each participant had to do a display that represented their business in a 2' x 3' space. Our theme was "Growing Our Business". We wanted to do something that represented the journey we’ve taken with since launching our site. We used stepping stones, charms, and banners with words on them to represent our experience and growth. Here's a pic of our little display! The amazing prize is free marketing and advertising for our business! Again, we are truly blessed!
All of the displays were truly amazing! All of these women are so talented! Watch our blog this week for other pics of the fabulous displays etc. from the retreat.
