It was so fun to be a part of Detour Winery‘s first bridal show last Sunday! It was wonderful catching up with my Frederick area wedding vendor friends and meeting new ones! They had a great turnout especially for it being the first bridal show! I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with several lovely couples.
Detour Winery is a new wedding venue in Frederick County just a few minutes from where I live. It’s tucked back in the beautiful country-side where my favorite view of the Blue Ridge Mountains can be found — just up the hill at my grandfather’s home. It’s a KILLER view! I’ll take photos sometime this spring and share. Thanks so much Detour Winery folks for inviting me to be a part of your first bridal show, I wish you all much success and hope to work with you soon!
Thanks to Doug Via Photography for snapping this image of me with my camera. It’s not too often that I remember to document myself at an event! I’m ecstatic with how my display turned out by the way! It was so fun showcasing more of who I am and my style along with my work.
If you haven’t had the pleasure of trying Detour’s wines yet, my suggestions are the sweets and dessert wines. But that’s just my personal taste. :) Alpine Frost is a favorite!
All of the guests were able to have a wine tasting specially hosted by the owner, Dan.
Meet Mrs. Cindy and her wonderful assistant Charlie of Cinful Cuisine! This lady is super-special! Not only is she a wonderful cook/baker, but such a professional and all-around sweet heart! I’ve had the pleasure of working with her in the past and hope for many more weddings together. She has a true gift of making her clients feel like family.
If you’re planning your honeymoon or just a yearly family vacation Lisa Shockney of Bay Winds Travel is your gal! She knows all the ins and outs of travel and luxurious accommodations. Travel is one of many areas you don’t want to neglect hiring a professional for! Believe me, I’ve heard horror stories! When my family (or just my husband and I) plan our first destination vacation you can bet I’ll trust her to take care of us! Lshockney@baywindstravel.com
Shew-sical Entertainment provided the background music and announcing during the show. I always enjoy their classical twist on popular songs. It makes for excellent background music that most people recognize!
It was a pleasure to meet the staff of Celebrations Catering for the first time! They’re just moving into a location in Thurmont, so be on the lookout! They had beautiful displays showcasing their rentals and very yummy fresh food. I guess it’s no surprise that I loved their rustic burlap table-scape. :)
Another new group I met were the ladies representing The Organized Bride. They were so sweet. And gosh, isn’t the designer who created all of these gorgeous pieces talented?! My heart beats a little faster when I see beautiful graphic designs and paper products. :) Seriously swooning over the lace pieces!
This is Heidi and her mom, representing for Suzanne’s Bridal and Formals. It was nice to meet you, Heidi! Turns out she went to high school with my husband. Small world!

Kelly Hahn Photography (it was so nice to meet you!), and some shots of guests perusing the booths.
I am IN LOVE with the display from The Flower Shop Koon’s Florist! Their designs are so elegant and romantic. I wanted to feature every detail shot I had of their booth.
And last but not least, a little sneak peek into the details of my rustic vintage themed booth. I had so much fun with this! And it was really easy to set up and take down, which is definitely a plus!
