Fun at the Bridal Market

Well the Bridal Market has come and gone!! We were there all day and saw lots of things... The picture below shows what one vendor was offering... a photo booth to rent for your reception!! It was so much fun... they had hats, and glasses for us to use, to add more fun to the pictures!! After the pictures come out, immediately I might add, then one half goes in a book for the bride and groom and the other half to the guest!! What a fun idea!!! Call us if you want more details about the Photo Booth! Look below to see some of the great wedding ideas we showed!

This was our booth... the theme: Black and White with Blue flowers!!! The balloons in the back were glammed up a bit by using REAL ribbon instead of curly ribbon... really cute idea!!

Here is a close up of our new banner and notice, please, the little black and white pots... each pot contains a single blue aggie (agapanthus) flower... to give it a topiary look!!

The bridal bouquet below was inspired by a wedding we saw on the web... the bride's dress is below this picture... it has a black and white stripe sash on it... soooooo cute!!!! Notice the feather detail on the bouquet... nice...

Here 's the dress..... so cute and different!!!

Our centerpiece made with white flowers and Blue Delphinium the container is a garden urn and available as a rental... Gorgeous!!!

More touches of blue... tall cylinder vases with ribbon buckle belts and more Blue Delphinium...

The cutest little flower girl ever!!!! Her Mom was a model in the fashion show and so was she....

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!!! Be sure to check back in soon... Valentine's Day is coming and we will have specials!!!! Have a good day !!! V

Christmas will be here before you know it.... is your blood pressure rising? If so it's time to stop the madness and enjoy the season... How do I do that , you ask? Well first; listen to some Christmas music.... I heard that moan! LOL! Just think about it for a minute, traditional Christmas music is about joy and peace. It is up-lifting and reminds us to love each other, to help each other, and to most of all to believe!! Believe what? How about in God and the wonder that is God (look at a flower or at nature) and in the hope that was given to the world with the birth of Jesus Christ.
At The Basketcase We Believe!!! We believe in the the Wonder and Hope of Christmas!!! We also believe that if you decide to let us help you with any part of your Holiday celebrations that you will enjoy our customer service and our products!!!
