WOMEN of Influence Gala

1 Reply

Over this past weekend, I was invited to attend the WOMEN of Influence Gala in my hometown. It is a night where we recognize different women in our community for being leaders, entrepreneurs and influencers. Last year I was honoured to receive the 2012 Young Women of Influence Award. They keep this award a total surprise, and I was shocked to say the least. I presented the award to the 2013 recipient this year, and her reaction was priceless too! It’s fun when you get to dress up to attend an event, and where we are getting close to the Holiday season, I decided to wear this sequins high low dress. Here are some pictures of me before leaving the house, and a few from the event itself!

The following pictures from the gala were taken by Kim Harris Photography:
Congratulations to all of the award recipients! It was an excellent evening!

November Wedding Inspiration

3 Replies

When I was engaged (and even before), I had a file on my computer where I kept all of my wedding inspiration. Similar to Pinterest, but it was my personal inspiration document that ended up being over 100 pages long! When I look back on it now, I realize that I was prepared to get married in any given month. I had wedding inspiration saved up for Christmas, Spring, Country, Glam, Summer and even NYE! So, instead of just letting those ideas sit on my computer, I have decided to start a new series where every month I will share these ideas with all of you!

So, let’s start with November! If I had to get married all over again, and the date was in November, this is what I would do! Not very many couples choose November to get married, but I think it could be beautiful (and so different!). I would keep the colors fairly neutral and add pops of deep raspberry and mauve. I’d also accent with blush to add a girly and romantic feel. The theme would be very nature inspired, with little berries in the flowers, branches in the decor and wooden pieces used throughout the day. Check out some of my inspiration below!
