June Luncheon :: Getting in the Mind of Brides

Wednesdays luncheon was a great time for over 100 ISES Indiana members & guests to get together and talk weddings. With a panel of brides from throughout Indiana answering candid questions everyone wanted to know. For instance, Who were the first vendors you selected for your wedding? and What are your top 3 most important details for your wedding? There were surprise answers for sure!

The meeting was sponsored by several ISES Indiana members and they included:
Cake Zen, Chair Covers & Linens, Eventfull Planning, Indianapolis Marriott - Downtown, JP Parker Florals, KB Design, Molly Connor Photography & Party Time Rental.

The beautiful space was designed to have a parisian boudoir feel with unique antique centerpieces amongst the elegant florals. Hand held mirror menu cards with accents of sky blue, gold and burgundy helped continue the theme throughout. The cocktail/networking time was divided from the ceremony/luncheon time, so all guests were surprised upon entrance. A mock wedding entrance then kicked of the event with the ISES Indiana Board of Directors introduced as the bridal party would be, then all of our brides from the panel entered to Canon in D and a description of what their special day was about. As guests and members listened to the panel and the questions geared to the sweet treats, music started again-How Sweet It Is (by James Taylor)-and the delicious Créme Brûlée Cake was served! A great way to wrap up another wonderful event!

Thank you to all you came!
Your ISES Indiana Board of Directors
