I find myself very fortunate to be able to do what I love and what makes it even better is knowing that by doing what I love I can also give back to my community. Wish Upon a Wedding allows me to do just that – be a part of an amazing organization geared toward making people’s dreams come true, all while working in the industry I adore! On Sunday I was honored to be a part of setting up and attending our inaugural gala for the Wish Upon a Wedding St. Louis Chapter, the Blissful Wishes Ball. And man oh man, was it a FABULOUS night! So let’s get to it!

That’s Miss Tiffany Bentley-Halkitis hard at work straightening our program of events!Our truly unique and fabulous programs, designed by Paper Frosting!The amazing room decor, designed by St. Louis’ own Rob Schaefer!Yes, that’s the signed Kenny Chesney guitar and then my fave, the MIZZOU helmet!Ah, the Starlight Roof at the Chase! A sight to see!

I can’t speak for everyone, but I definitely had a great time! Between the food, THE WINE, the dancing and the HILARIOUS photobooth (see pics here), it was a night I won’t soon forget!

And thankfully, we are blessed with amazingly generous vendors in St. Louis who all helped to make this event possible! For that, we all cannot thank you enough!
