The Dove Lounge

Ok, brace yourselves . . . I am about to flood you with updates on all the latest happenings with Dove Photography and boy do I have a lot to share! We've been all over the place from Staten Island, to Long Island, Las Vegas to Death Valley in California. So sit back, relax and check out some of the places that captivated & inspired us ;-)

A few weeks ago Scott and I decided to do our first ever Bridal Show Expo at The Crown Plaza Hotel in Secaucus, NJ and while it didn't go perfectly (Scott stayed up all night building two Living Room like adjoining walls that ended up not fitting in the space we were given) we did blow away the competition, if I may say so myself ;-) We designed our (supposed to be 8x10 but in reality 6x8) space to resemble a Lounge, "The Dove Lounge" if you will. We purchased two small leather love seats and brought in a bookshelf that held our monitor display which ran a slideshow of some of our favorite images. We also had a bowl of Dove Chocolates, available to anyone who stopped by, but of course, lol. Most exciting, though was our stunningly beautiful model who wore an amazing gown from Something Special located in Wyckoff, NJ - which by the way offer free alterations. It was a gorgeous ivory embroidered tulle trumpet gown designed by Lazaro with jeweled applique at empire waist and bust and cascading flowers down the back of the skirt with a chapel train which is priced at $4,565. She also wore a beautiful ostrich feathered  by Toni Federic and a Flowered haircomb underneath that by Malis Henderson as well as petite Debra Moreland by Paris earrings, all provided by Something Special. I cannot compliment these three amazing woman - Irene, Lynda and Lisa enough for helping us be so successful at the show and recommending us at their Bridal Boutique. All of them helped Katilyn look breathtaking for the day of the show! So all you brides out there looking for a Wedding Gown that will take you and your husband-to-be breath away, go to Something Special now! They have the best and most caring woman there ready to help you with your every whim and desire :-)

We also received beautiful flowers for our booth from Anna Rose Floral Design  which we prominently displayed between our two love seats as you can see in the images below. And if your wondering about the red rose bouquet that Kaitlyn was holding, well that stunning arrangement was made by Beers Flowers who are located in Ridgewood, NJ. All in all, it was a very good show. We had a constant line of brides, grooms and moms waiting to talk with us, most of whom were inquiring about 2011 so if you are thinking of getting married then ladies, now is the time to book us because we are quickly filling in the 25 slots for 2011 already!
