CONGRATS Simply Love Studio!! Keep up the good work!!

Simply Love Studio is located at 128 North Broadway in downtown Lexington, KY.

Contact LeAnn, the studio manager at leann@simplylovestudio.com

What you need:

• Dowels or long wooden skewers
• 3/4 yard of ribbon in your wedding colors (we used narrow satin ribbon but seam binding ribbon is inexpensive and works great!)

Step #1: Cut the ribbon to about 3/4 yard.

Step #2 Tie the strands on the dowel. Use as many as you like. More ribbon offers more impact.

Don’t forget to stop by Simply Love Studio next Wednesday at 6:00 pm for the next night in the Bride’s Night Out series!

For more information contact LeAnn at leann@simplylovestudio.com.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We had Trish Hartlage, a Sandals specialist give a presentation about each individual resort that Sandals has to offer. They are all very different and by the end of the night, I believe that all of our couples had a better understanding of which resort fit their style and personality better. Everyone seemed a little less confused when they left here, which is always our goal.

However, the couples not only received tons of information and advice about Sandals, but food and drinks as well!

Naked Pizza, the newest pizza place in town which uses all natural ingredients, sponsored pizza for all of our guests. It was absolutely delicious. We kept the leftovers and ate them for lunch today:-)

Plus, we had two fabulous bartenders from Event Tenders, LLC: Parham and Susan. Parham created his own speciality drinks for our event and named them after different Sandals resorts. They were absolutely fabulous and the biggest hit of the night!! (If you are looking for a bartender for your event… these guys are definitely the way to go!)

If you did miss our Sandals Night and are needing help booking your honeymoon, whether it be to Sandals or anywhere else in the world, we are here to help!! Just email me at mallory@alwaysplanned.com and we will set up an appointment for you to come in and we will have you on your way to somewhere wonderful in no time!!!

Our awesome bartenders and Rayna!!!

We hope to see you there!!!
