Spring Expo Season 2012

January 26, 2012

In the past couple of weeks, ADORE has moved office locations, build walls for a new office, painted the new office, moved furniture over…. AND attended two bridal Expo’s.  One Expo was held at the Phillips Center and produced by Jay’s Bridal!   What a great show it was.  So many of you came to see us and we are super excited about working on your 2012 weddings with you!!

We also drove to Lake City to be a part of an expo with some sweet vendors.   What a fun time we had being a part of it and getting to meet some of our new out of town brides!!

Here’s a look at our setups from the last two shows.   Also, we will be announcing the winner of the swarovski crystal necklace soon!!  If you booked a consultation at the show are were eligible!

2012 ADORE Announcement

January 11, 2012

With  new Year brings new adventures!   If you read my “Newsletter” you learned about some of the adventures ADORE Events took part in for 2011.  We can say HAPPY New Year, since it’s still January right?!?

Within the next few weeks I will be in transition out of my current location in the Village Center in Haile and moving to the Creekside Mall.  Our new neighbors will be The Grande Event and Jays Bridal!

In addition to the new location I will be opening a STORE where you can purchase items for your wedding day.  Some of the items will be custom and some you can get right away.  Our goal for you, as my clients, is to create an experience that allows you to look at the items in person without having to guess what you are buying online.

For Planning, if you have a meeting with me this week or next it will be in the current location unless I inform you otherwise.   Once the store is officially open, all meetings and consultations will be in our meeting area in the new store.  In an effort to make sure my clients I plan for are completely taken care of, as this is always the most important to me, you may see my husband Matt in the store from time to time.   He is super sweet and will be mostly in the purchasing department.  I’m excited to have him more a part of ADORE this year!

I WILL continue to be a FULL TIME Planner/Coordinator but after 13 years in the industry I’m excited about this new adventure to add on to what ADORE has already been established as.    I can’t wait to share more with you!!

Thank you all for being a part of the ADORE family and I look forward to offering more services to you!!!

Opening party to be announced in the near future!!  Stay tuned!

2011 ADORE Events Review

In Florida, especially Gainesville, it can end up being a ‘hot’ Christmas instead of a ‘white’ Christmas!  Most of you know the heat I’m talking about!  What is nice about it is we can still go outside and enjoy nature without having to bundle up too tightly.  While taking a couple days off from the end of the year wedding planning, I visited a few places in Gainesville that I thought I’d share.

If you have family in town still, these are great places to visit and enjoy a peaceful afternoon!

Going to see Santa was first on our list!!

In December, The Dock Pond, by NFRMC has a pond lighting.  Beautiful to walk around in the evening and the music is coordinated with the lights going on and off.

The Butterfly Gardens at the Florida Museum of Natural History is a great place to see nature in a butterfly habitat where they are taken care of and admired.  All though I do not have a photo, they have recently added unique small birds to the butterfly Gardens.

Another great place to go is Kanapaha Botanical Gardens!  This is also a beautiful outside venue to get married!  On a daily visit you can walk the paths, take a picnic basket and lay in the sun, or stop in their art gallery.
