St. Martin's- Fundraiser

This was my second event at St. Martin's Parish Hall. The first was a wedding. This past weekend we set up for a fundraiser for a new Nigerian Heritage school here in Regina. The theme was brown and gold. Here is a very good example of how much of a difference chaircovers can make. I apologize for the less than stellar pictures, but I think you will ge the point!

What's new at mint

So it's been a while since my last post..sorry for the neglect! I have been busy meeting with 2010 brides and wow am I excited about these weddings. My first of the year will be in February in Carlyle.. we are going to transform the hall there into a beautiful modern tropical oasis right in the middle of the prairies! May we will be at the Hotel Sask doing a cherry blossom themed event. We have some great manzanita branches we will be using as centerpieces..stay tuned for pictures.. June we have two weddings.. one at the Regina Inn and the other is a big one at the Turvey. I am super stoked to be trying some fresh new ideas for ceiling decor at this one..Then in July we are heading back out to Katepwa for a vintagy/nature inspired celebration. I am super excited about this one as my own wedding was under a big white tent at Katepwa just over a year ago!

As for other events...we are doing a sparkly snowflake inspired candy buffet at a New Year's wedding.

**This week Mint, in partnership with A Touch of Elegance, will be supplying and installing hundreds of chaircovers in support of our local Crimestoppers organization. They are hosting thier 25th gala celebration at the Casino Regina Showlounge on Wednesday November 18th. Tickets are still available by calling 545-5232.

Speaking of which we are now connected with a great local linen and chaircover company, A Touch of Elegance. Their prices are some of the best in the city and their color and fabric selection is by far the best! Contact me for more info!

What a beautiful fall wedding. A nice sunny day, a beautiful bride and handsome groom and a reception at the Performing Arts Centre....maybe my new fave venue. If you are looking for a venue for your event this is a great place to consider. Number one- staff is AMAZING and will bend over backwards for you. Number two- great atmosphere. Number three- non profit group benefits from your booking. How can you go wrong? Anyways here are a few more pics from the evening.

What a great wedding.. a great big wedding with nearly 300 guests! The venue-White City Hall. The colours- Red and Brown. The bride has a sweet tooth so she decided to have a veerrrry yummy candy buffet...a beautiful cake and cupcakes made by Cakes by Carrie. There was no dinner just an amazing late lunch kicked up a notch with shrimp platters and some seriously yummy homemade buns and desserts. It truly was a wedding with something for everyone. What a pleasure to have met these two and to have been part of their special day. Thanks guys:)

Love it

There was a yummy candy buffet...a beautiful cake by Carrie and the bride and groom looked AMAZING! Pictures to come soon.

Thanks so much to Kerri for sending me these pics from her June wedding. We did the centerpieces for this amazing wedding and the pew bows. here is some of what we did.

sorry for the absence

WOW!! what a crazy past two months. there hasn't been much going on here on the blog because I have been busy learning how to be a mom to my new beautiful daughter Maryn. I apologize for the lack of updates but all we really have been doing around here is changing diapers and cuddling!

September is a busy month! We have three weddings and they all promise to be very different and super exciting. stay tuned for pics of that. I also plan to post picture of all of my rentals with prices and particulars like measurements to make things easier as you try to source out items for your event.

thanks for your patience! here is our little love.

Webster-Martin Wedding

We had our first big wedding project this weekend (June 20) at the Turvey Center. What a fresh colour scheme! It was the perfect fit for us to design the centerpieces. You can see the centerpieces at the bottom of the blog. They are the lime ones! The room was gorgeous, with all white linens and chair covers, green sashes and the great draping they always have at the Turvey! Stay tuned for pictures of the big event! Congrats you two!

babies babies babies!
