Photo shoot with KT Merry Photography

As some of you know I had some pictures taken by KT Merry photography last week. I have to admit at first I was stressing over this photo shoot but she made me feel comfortable so quickly. Katie made it so much fun. We laughed and talked through the whole thing.

If you or your groom do not feel comfortable in front of a camera it is a great idea to do an engagement session prior to your wedding day. Spend some time having fun with your photographer before your special day. You will get to know him or her better and by the time your wedding day arrives all the shyness is gone.

My pictures are featured on her website in the blog section. Take a look and see what she has to say. I thank KT Merry for the pictures. Next time I will bring the wine and cheese!!

Rent a cabin in the woods

My friend Michelle and her family own these beautiful homes in North Carolina in the middle of all the ski resorts. The homes are located on the area of Boone, Foscoe and Seven Devils. She is making these homes available for vacationers and all the friends and partners of International Event Design. If you are interested in renting one of these homes for a winter vacation contact us and we will provide you all the contact information.

Cupcakes for favors

Lola's Cupcakery will soon to be on Las Olas. I fell in love with their beautiful presentation at the Brides.com event at the Palms. They place these great cupcakes in these gorgeous individual boxes that make a great alternative to the usual wedding favors that almost always end up in the garbage. Needless to say the cupcakes are delicious as well. They come in over 20 flavors, such as: Red Velvet, Key Lime, Rocky Road, even Margarita! Let me also add that they are affordable.... with a dozen starting at $39! Also if you are looking for a great present to give a fellow partner or friend why not send them cupcakes!!! I am sure they will love the gesture.

Fundraiser for Miami Children's Hospital

International Event Design has been asked to put together a fundraiser for Miami Children's Hospital on behalf of MDI Sports. MDI Sports provides year around sports league programs for the children in our community. Their company also conducts basketball tournaments in Miami Dade County and Broward for adults. The event will take place on April 3rd and 4th in 2009. We are proud to have been given the opportunity to participate in such a worthy cause. The proceeds of this event will be used to support the ECMO program at Miami Children's Hospital and assist them to continue to provide the best pediatric care in South Florida.

International Event Design and Permanent Shows

I was invited to a meeting with the CEO of Permanent Shows yesterday afternoon. We discussed how International Event Design could work with their company in managing their events. Permanent Shows is an event production company that handles TV, film and video production. They also manage big events such as concerts, comedy shows, theoretical plays, fashion shows, corporate events and elite weddings. Since they are involved with TV and film they are also a talent management company, which manages actors, musicians, directors and producers.

I have been offered to take on the position of Director of Events for Permanent Shows. I am taking this offer into consideration and will notify them shortly of my decision.
