TreBella Events

Happy Friday!  What a way to wrap up the week.  TreBella Events was featured by the Hilton Garden Inn of Solomons Island, MD at the local Calvert County Chamber of Commerce Business Expo yesterday. 

What is the Chamber? ”  The Chamber is a vital, dynamic organization with over 700 members and representatives.  Collectively, it represents nearly 9,600 employees working together to develop a productive climate in Calvert County in which to conduct business.” (Source:  www.calvertchamber.org)  Each year the Chamber hosts Business Expos to promote business and networking. 

Some photos of our tablescape are shown below:

It was such an honor to work with the Hilton Garden Inn.  This is a new hotel, 3 years young.  They are located in Solomons Island.  The hotel features approximately 100 guest rooms with suites.  The banquet facilities hosts 3,600 sq. ft.  which can accommodate a wedding reception of up to 130 guests.  This is a beautiful space for a wedding reception and/or rehearsal dinner.  The Assistant General Manager is skilled at ice sculpting.  He scuplted the amazing “Fish & Coral” ice sculpture shown above.  This location would also be ideal for a Destination Weekend Wedding  Event.  As Solomons Island offers many activities, loads of culture, and entertainment.  Please contact Beverly Brown, Director of Sales, for more information.  She can be reached on 410-326-0303.

Happy Planning!

Hello there… So the DC Chapter hosted a Launch Party for Wish Upon A Wedding this past Sunday.  So many guests, wedding professionals, and friends attended this event to celebrate and learn about this wonderful organization.  

“As the World’s first nonprofit wedding wish granting organization, Wish Upon a Wedding provides weddings at destinations across the United States for individuals facing life-threatening illness.  It is a chance for couples to enjoy a very special day, without any thoughts of existing health issues, while surrounded by their closest family and friends.”  (www.wishuponawedding.org)

So many vendors donated their services and talents to make this event come to life.  Enjoy a few photos!!!

Lighting was provided by Da Vinci’s Florist located in Silver Spring, MD.

 This floral arrangment was designed by Intrigue Design & Decor located in Annapolis, MD.

Stationery was provided by Carla David Designs located in Fulton, MD.

The “Sugar Rush” station was the highlight of the event.  Many planners donated colorful candy to fill the vases.  Several bakers shared their talents and showcased skills with the beautiful and tasty treats.  Bakers that donated to the Sugar Rush table are noted as follows: 

Anita’s Wedding Cakes of Lexington Park, MD

Penny Chocolates & Gelato of Fairfax, VA

Kute Kakes by Von of Baltimore, MD

Patisserie Poupon of Washington, DC

Flour & Iced Cakes and Confections of Richmond, VA.

Linen rentals were provided by Rentals to Remember of Annapolis, MD. 

Other local vendors who donated products and services were JP Ink of Sunderland,MD, Hilton Garden Inn of Solomons Island, MD, and Jax Photography of Chesapeake Beach, MD.  It was so wonderful to raise awarness and assist in making others happy.

In service,

You may ask, “How can I help?”.  This organization needs donations in the form of money to purchase items, decorations, etc.  Professionals in the the wedding industry, including TreBella Events, have offered their time and resources to assist with ceremonies as they arise in local areas. 

Come out and celebrate with us!

Hello all… We are pleased to announce that TreBella Events was the winner for this year’s annual Association of Bridal Consultant’s MD/DC Chapter’s Tablescape Competition!!!
        The Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) is the oldest and largest training organization for wedding professionals in the world with currently over 4,000 members located in all 50 states and in 27 countries. Since 1955 ABC’s goals have been to raise professional standards in the wedding industry and to make brides happy. These goals have helped ABC members stand out for their high standards and thereby prosper along the way. (Courtesy of www.bridalassn.com)

The focus of the design was on the Bride and Groom.  We have come across some couples who don’t want to sit at a long head table or at a “Sweetheart Table”.  They want to sit in a round table alongside their guests.  With this in mind, we wanted to create a lavish and magical “Bridal Table” for the Bride and Groom  to be able to sit amongnst their guests in a round table, but yet still stand out  and make a magnificent statement.  Over 100 members, guests, and judges voted our table as the winner.  We are so thankful!!!

Special thanks to Rentals to Remember for providing the chiavari chairs and linens!

Hello World!  TreBella Events has finally joined the blogging community.  How exciting!  Blogging is such a fun and personal way of communicating.  I could not-not be a part of it.  So here we go! 

TreBella Events’ blogs will be a place to come for new ideas, design trends, etiquette advice, tables-capes, and so much more.  You will also see updated pictures from the Web site’s Gallery page.  The blog will provide more details such as vendors used and the thoughts behind the design concepts.   I hope that you enjoy the posts. 

In my first post I had to share a venue that I visited for the first time – The Spirit of Baltimore Cruise Ship.

I am a member of the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC).  

“ABC is  the oldest and largest organization exclusively serving wedding professionals, and we have been training wedding coordinators since 1955.” www.bridalassn.com 

ABC holds quarterly meetings at different venues for the planners to visit and experience different/new locales.  The Summer Quarterly Dinner Meeting of the Maryland Chapter was held on this cruise ship. 

Just to give you some insight on a trend, some brides are opting for an intimate wedding that includes 20-40 people.    A private ceremony would be held on the top deck dockside with the  captain  dressed in his formal white uniform and serving as the officiant.  The ceremony would last for approx. 20 min.  The wedding reception would continue on the dining deck with the wedding cake, champagne toasts, etc. included.  

Please note, there are Spirit Cruise ships in Washington DC.  Visit the www.spiritcruises.com website for more information.

There are similar ceremonies available on Charters in Annapolis, MD. www.watermarkcruises.com

Until we speak again…
