Friday Favorites: Bridal Fashion Week *Saturday Morning Edition

Happy Fri... uh, Saturday! Life happens, and before you know it, 20 days pass without a blog post! To get back into the swing of things, here's a Friday Favorites, one day late. Bridal Fashion Week was a great time, surely for folks attending runway shows and galas, but also for the common Instagram follower. Here are some of my favorite Instagram pics from #BridalFashionWeek!

Refined Wedding Showcase!

It's hard to believe that the Refined Wedding Showcase was already a week ago! A friend and I drove 5 hours last Sunday to Events at Refinery where we had the chance to meet Randy Fenoli! Before his hour-long presentation, there was a bunch of cool stuff to look at. Fun DJs, prop rentals, a pole dance instructor doing demos, etc. AND there was cake! 

There were dresses galore! 
Then there was Randy! His presentation was hilarious, informative, and inspiring. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone talk for an hour straight with that much energy. As if that wasn't enough, he followed his presentation with a lip synced rendition of Pharrell's 'Happy'. And then he met with every person who came to the showcase. Not only for a quick "Hi" and photo op; he spent time really talking, listening, and laughing with people. I spoke with him for about five minutes and presented him with the cross stitched "Hello Beautiful" I made for him. He was so sweet! He even asked if it was OK for him to change the frame it was in so it would match his apartment. 



He mentioned during his presentation that he was staying at the same hotel as us, but we didn't actually think we'd see him. As we were checking out the next morning, though, we saw him in the lobby. He was such a good sport. It was an AWESOME ending to a very fun weekend!
