St. Louis loved Olia!

Our trip to St. Louis was a success!  Simply Elegant Bridal Boutique carries our line and they are fantastic!  The store is so pretty.  They hosted a trunk show for us on Friday and Saturday - very busy days.  On Sunday they sponsored the ”Unveiled Bridal Show 2012″ at the St. Louis Grand Hotel, such a beautiful space.  Olia’s line was introduced last by the Style Editor of St. Louis Magazine, Jan Leach.  In addition to all these great things our dresses were also featured on Great Day St. Louis Friday morning.  Our gowns were modeled by the beautiful staff of Simply Elegant Bridal Boutique!

Meet another neighbor…Dulce Desserts!

I just stopped in to have their “cupcake of the month”.  Chocolate Peppermint with a truffle center- DELICIOUS- and it was so beautiful I almost didn’t want to eat it…

We have brides stop in all the time raving about this place and now  I see why!  They have a daily selection of cakes, cupcakes, cookies and bite size snacks but they do the most amazing and tasty custom cakes.  From what I hear the Executive Pastry Chef & Owner, Juanita Lane, is simply wonderful to work with- her and her team “translate your dream into sweet deliciousness”.

Check this out.

Here are some of their buttercream cake creations:

Saturday December 17th, hundreds of animal lovers gathered in Edgehill Village to raise money for Bonaparte’s Retreat.   This wonderful organization started by the incredibly talented singer, songwriter and musician, Emmylou Harris, is dedicated to providing nurturing foster care for shelter dogs when their allotted time is up & finding them forever homes.

The event started off with a dog parade:

Before the amazing performances – there was a huge silent auction inside of O.liv Body Bar…

Olia Zavozina donated this crystal belt along with a gift certificate for a mens custom shirt to the silent auction

Then the performances started…they were incredible.  Days like this make me feel lucky to live in Nashville.
