For those of you who don't already know, I'm on the Board of Directors for the North Carolina chapter of a wonderful organization called Wish Upon a Wedding. Wish Upon a Wedding is a non-profit organization which provides weddings and vow renewals to couples facing life-threatening illnesses and seriously life-altering circumstances.

 

On August 7th, at the Marriott Raleigh City Center, we will host our first ever Wish Upon a Cake event to raise funds for the organization, all while having a really great time! This sweet event will feature cake artists from the Triangle area and beyond who'll be competing for the title of Best Cake, and as an attendee, you'll have the opportunity to taste their sweet creations and scout out a bakery for your next event.

There are several ways to get involved, so be sure to choose the link that best fits you and become a part of Wish Upon a Cake:

If you'd like to attend to see and taste these sweet treats, get your tickets here.

If you're a cake artist or student baker and would like to participate in the event, register here.

If you're a business or individual and would like to sponsor the event, sign up here.

Be sure to follow Wish Upon a Wedding NC on Facebook for more updates. We look forward to seeing you at Wish Upon a Cake!

This weekend was a great one, and I'm glad to say I feel refreshed and rejuvenated and glad to be back at the blog. Last week was one of those 60-hour work weeks filled with lots of editing, lots of email, and lots of planning for the upcoming Wish Upon a Wedding NC Launch Party. I'm not complaining folks... I LOVE my job, but I was definitely happy to have an extra fun weekend.

To sum it up, I won a free ticket from Adorama to attend WPPI-U in Atlanta next week (duh. winning.). Josh and I got to go to our dear friends' wedding at the Red Barn at Tanglewood and eat, drink, and dance the night away (congratulations Bridget & Ryan). Then, to top it all off, we spent Sunday recovering relaxing, enjoying the Pioneer Woman's tomato soup, and watching Modern Family sweep the Emmy's. Seriously y'all, we love that show. And I was pumped to find out that Phil Dunphy is a fellow Penn State alum (we are...).

BUT, perhaps my favorite part of this weekend was that my first sample album from KISS Wedding Books arrived, and i've decided it is just simply luscious. And it arrives with this super cute dust cover, too...

I ordered this sample as the exact size that is included with our Vogue Wedding Collection. A 10x10 100% full-grain leather album available to you in seven colors ranging from your basic black to hot pink (this one's Sultry Blue), seen here beside the iPhone for scaling purposes.

This album includes 10-spreads (that's 20 pages) of wedding goodness, all on 2mm hard substrate pages.

All albums are custom designed by yours truly using SWAT Designer. You may recongnize the images in this album from Krissie and Kali's Greensboro wedding earlier this year. We're also excited to announce that their wedding day images will be featured in the Spring/Summer 2012 issue of The Knot NC that will be released at the end of this year.

Sealed with a KISS. 

If you'd like to see our beautiful KISS book in person, get in touch to set up your wedding consultation. And if you're a photographer, be sure to check out KISS Wedding Books and the SWAT Designer. They will make your life so much easier, and their turnaround times and customer service are excellent.

Happy Monday everyone!
