My My .... How a Day Can Change!

My My, how a day can change.  One minute I was steaming a dress and the next I was planning a wedding reception.......for that evening!   This couple was eloping and had the ceremony planned, but wanted more than just the ceremony.  Our thought......just because it was short notice did not mean it should be anything less than fantastic!  So we kicked it into high gear, placed a few phone calls, pulled a few strings, assembled a top-notch team, and Voila....a beautiful, personal wedding reception for 2!  The Bride had her dress, but we had her come to the studio early so the style team we assembled could help her get ready.  We called Plonk (one of our favorite places....great food, great wine, incredible staff and owners) to arrange for a table for 2 and how wonderful it was when the couple walked in and the  place erupted in cheers and applause.  The Kelly Roberti Trio provided the  music for the first dance and a petite wedding cake from Elle's Belles was just perfect for this little event.  We believe every wedding, whether planned over a year or planned in a few hours, should be incrdible, and we loved playing a part in making this couple's day something special and beautiful.

Springhill Pavilion in the Winter

Springhill Pavilion is such an incredible venue.  Steeped in history and dripping with character, the Pavilion is nestled in at the end of the road with Ross Peak rising up behind it and incredible Gallatin Valley views stretched out in front.  We have planned and attended some truly magnificent weddings at Springhill.  I was lucky enough to go on a site visit a few days ago and as spectacular as the scenery is during the season, it is magical during the winter.  I love the Pavilion and all it has to offer.amazing views, its rich history, its magical setting, but for me, what makes it really special are the owners, Chum and Sally.  Not only are they just great people, but the pride they have in the Pavilion is wonderful.  The Pavilion has provided the community and much of the valley a location for its special events for the last 130 plus years, and is still going strong. We would like to thank Chum and Sally for continuing the tradition and letting the Pavilion play such an important role in so many people's lives.

Please Help Support Project Healing Waters

We did a wedding for a wonderful couple this past July 4th. The Groom, an Army Ranger, is a Purple Heart Recipient for injuries he received in combat. The sacrifices he, along with many of his guests have made, were a reminder of the costs of the freedom we enjoy.  Today, we recieved the following email from the bride and thought it was important to pass it along so Project Healing Waters, a wonderful non-profit that works with wounded vets, can get the recognition it deserves.  Please take a moment to vote and to support those who have given so much on behalf of our country.

"In recognition their work with veterans and their presence on GuideStar, PROJECT HEALING WATERS FLY FISHING has been selected to participate in a weekly voting competition on Toyota USA’s Facebook page.  http://www.facebook.com/toyota?sk=app_114219605347571   PHWFF will be up against three other nonprofit organizations and the one with the most votes at the end of the week will receive $10,000.00 plus be featured on NBC’s Sunday Night Football during the Toyota Halftime advertisement."

You can vote every day from November 2 through November 8.
