Happy New Year!

Can you believe it is now 2011?  I could ask where the time has gone but I simply don't think any of us would have the answer!

2010 was simply and incredible year!!  We moved into our new showroom, did an enormous number of events, traveled to our first destination wedding in Mexico, enjoyed a truly big fat Scottish wedding, celebrated at a 4 day Indian wedding (oh my goodness the FOOD!!), launched our new candy buffets, and won a couple of awards (thanks to all of you) but BEST of all we got the opportunity to meet so many truly wonderful people and experience all types of weddings in new locations.

2010 introduced us to brides who wanted rich dramatic colours and themes and we were thrilled to be able to give that to them.

We also did more decor work for corporate events and galas.  This type of work is a lot of fun as we get the opportunity to work with colour on a larger scale.

Occasionally we worked with LED lighting  - which is something that is becoming more popular as it comes in a variety of colours and more importantly gives of little or no heat.

Halls especially like the no heat aspect. But I love the soft glow effect that LED gives off.

We did up these trees for a bride this fall who wanted something soft and romantic during the day but which would also transform the room into more of a nightclub look at night.  We were only able to achieve this look by using LED lighting.

One of the highlights of 2010 was our involvement with the Relay for Life Masquerade Gala which was held this November at Whitby's Heydonshore Pavilion. 

This event is close to my heart as it raises money for all types of cancer.  Having lost my own parents to different types of cancer - having so many of my fellow vendors donate their time, services or simply just buy tickets and attend - meant the world to me. 

Over $7000.00 was raised from this event alone and our goal is to double that at next years gala.

The talented Kathryn Rogers and her team planned a truly memorable evening which was enjoyed by all and I along with the In-Style Team will be on board once again to help with next years gala.

With so many memorable events it will be hard to say goodbye to 2010 but with all of the new decor options we have available I am truly looking forward to 2011  - it is going to be an amazing year!
