Earlier this month, I posted that I was headed to Indianapolis for the educational conference Eventology. This was the first year for the conference which was the brain child of Katasha Butler, owner of K. Sherrie + Company.
While it was very educational, it was also fun to finally meet colleagues that I was only familiar with on Twitter and other social media. Below are a few pictures.
This is what I saw upon arriving at the Omni Hotel…a lobby full of wedding planners 
A group of us at Harry & Izzy’s for dinner
Some of the ladies hanging out during the networking cocktail event:
Jennifer of A Regal Affair in Texas, Saundra of planning…forever events in Indiana and Terrica of Fabuluxe in Georgia.
Later we headed to the Milk…a lounge that is decorated with all white decor.
The next day it was time to hit the books (so to speak) and learn a few things.

I had a great time and learned a lot. Click here to see the professional pictures that were photographed by the offical Eventology photoprapher, Jennifer Badalamenti of JK Photography.

There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps.

I was given the opportunity to participate in the My Day Bridal Show table top competition. The good news…I was very excited to showcase my design skills. The bad news…I only had a couple of days to come up with a design. Here’s what I came up with on short notice. I am waiting on the professional shots but here are a few I snapped myself.
Rental items were from our friends at Select Event Rentals. Tomorrow I’ll post photos the tables from the other participants.

In case you didn’t know,
Affairs With Elegance also does social events in addition to weddings. After the
I Do Brunch, my team and I had a birthday party to do later Saturday evening. It was for a wonderful lady (and good friend) who was turning 50! Stacey wanted her party to reflect her personality…which I say is sophisticated and classy. She also wanted a monochromatic color scheme of all ivory with accents of gold of course.
Here are a few pictures I snapped prior to the party. They aren’t the best quality but I never claimed to be a great photographer. I will post the professional photos once I receive them.
We provided the menu cards, escort cards and table numbers for Stacey’s party:
The Birthday Cake (created by Mary Elliott):
A few ballroom shots with table linen and chaircovers from Gala Cloths:
Without further ado…The Birthday Girl:
Of course I had to get a picture with her:
I had the best time planning this party with Stacey and a fun time was had by all Saturday night.
