PeaPod: The Knot Party

Thursday, November 18 brought the biggest day of my year with The Knot Party. I am blessed enough to work for a very talented event designer who was picked to plan this years Texas event. Needless to say, it. was. amazing!! And with a theme like Club Havana, it was also a blast!I can't imagine anyone having more fun on a job. There was dancing, amazing food and drinks, and crazy-fun stations like Foto Favor, a gourmet popcorn bar by Le Popcorn, and even our own pipe cleaner rings!

How crazy is this cake?

One of the new specialties from the PeaPod Group are these awesome pipe cleaner rings. We spent part of the night hand making these for the guests. Everyone loved them!

The PeaPod girls!!! This group is really such an awesome collection of people with lots of different talents and skills. I am a very lucky girl.

My Awesome Job

Around the end of May, I was lucky enough to snag an internship as an event assistant with a company called PeaPod. Marla, the master mind behind it all, took me in and is bent on educating about every part of the event industry and I couldn't be more thankful.

This fall and the next year are going to bring a lot of awesome events that I will, amazingly, be involved with.

Some of the favorites right now are:

1. Project Husband. Lisa Linehan is one talented woman who has decided she wants to get married this coming February. All she has to do is find the groom. The PeaPod Group is signed up to be the event planners and designers for Lisa's upcoming wedding. It's awesome to see that Lisa is making things happen for herself!

2. The Knot Party. That's right people. The Knot. I am so stoked about this party! It's happening very soon this fall and it is going to be over the top. I'll be sure to post a recap of this event on here.

3. General office awesome-ness. As an Marla's assistant, it is my primary job to make her life easier and to make the office a more efficient and wonderful place to rock-it-out. I'm still getting initiated into the PeaPod Group work environment and I'm loving it so far.

So here's to an awesome future with some amazing people!

Another round at the Dallas Bridal Show

The Dallas Bridal Show is a huge expo held twice a year. I actually have a post from the one in January where they had a "Million Dollar Wedding Cake" on display.

Well this time, I went as a vendor. I may not have mentioned this, but for the past few months I have been working as an intern and then an Event Assistant for the PeaPod Group. Marla, the President and CEO, is one of the most amazing women I've ever met and I am extremely lucky to be working with her and the whole group.

PeaPod was actually the official planner for the Dallas Bridal Show which meant that we had 6 booth spaces for just us. Take a look at the awesome stuff we filled it up with.

A kick-butt "decadence bar". You should have seen this thing. And isn't that mirrored table so glamourous?

*love this lounge furniture!

My first experience working a bridal show was amazing. I met a lot of brides and I'm hoping there is one in there who will want me to help with their special day.
