What up Weddingbee! Long time no blog!
This past Saturday, I met up with Miss Peacock and Miss Jasmine for the Chicago Social Brides’ An Evening of Luxury event at the so-new-it’s-not-even-done Trump Towers (seriously, I think the building is only halfway up, but the lower half is apparently open for business). We weren’t quite sure what to expect, but we forked over the hefty entrance fees ($60 for the first ticket and $25 for 2 additional tickets) and valet fees ($23/car!) to see what it was all about. We were enticed with the promise of a “luxury swag bag”, but were bummed to hear that only the holder of the $60 ticket was able to receive the goodies. Ah well, at least our admission fees benefited the Y-Me Illinois organization.
This event was quite different from the traditional bridal show. There were no vendor tables on display. They only featured one venue (Trump Towers, obviously), one floral design company, and one DJ/Media company. We walked around, sipped champagne, noshed on food, watched a Vera Wang fashion show, and met a few Weddingbee readers!

Peacock, Emerald and Jasmine (half a glass of champagne and I’m already flushed)

I’m a sucker for desserts… I didn’t bother with the crudites and hummus…

Some fab floral designs by Heffernan Morgan, so very Platinum Weddings!

Clearly Vera was really feeling the poofy flower this season, although I’m not sure I agree.
