I took some photos of the event on my Iphone, so you will have to forgive the lack of quality in the following images….

Starting at No. 110 East Main Street…

I started my tour at the Beauty Library… what an adorable space!  Fresh and full of so many fun things for a bride to look at and try.

Here’s the woman behind the Beauty Library, Jennie Fresa herself!  She was showing me her new treatment room where she is going to offer one simple and comprehensive and exclusive service, the Fassage. Combining a facial, massage, and a pedicure, what more can a girl ask for?

This adorable space separates the Beauty Library from True Event.  LOVED this tablecloth provided by Rentals Unlimited.

In the next room is the studio space for True Event. With a very vibrant wash of yellow throughout the details of the room, you can see the past work of True Event as well as some of Sarah’s daily inspirations…

Had to get a group photo with Sarah True accompanied by Justin and Mary Marantz (members of the myKPW family) and Kristen from Sugarbelle in Glastonbury… what a fabulous group of wedding professionals who all came out on a Sunday to support the Wedding Row!!

Then to No. 104 East Main Street….

I am now realizing I didn’t get very good images of Christine Toner’s space for Stonington design+paperie… sorry Christine!  This image does show, however, that there were a LOT of people at this event and everyone was enjoying bits of food and drink wherever they went!

This space is also where brides can schedule appointments to select their bridesmaids dresses…. loved the depth of purples in this display!

Here, Beth Chapman of the White Dress by the shore is visiting with Kristen of Sugarbelle and her sister-in-law who is actually a bride to be herself!

Although I didn’t have one of these since I was driving 3 hours home, people were sipping these left and right so Perfect Parties was doing a fabulous job with the food and drinks for the event!

Couldn’t resist taking this shot- that’s so myKPW aqua!!  LOL

The reception area at the White Dress by the shore, with a fabulous floral arrangements by Hana floral design.

Now, in between the two studio spaces was a fabulous Sperry Tent and inside the tent were some very fantastic vendors and guests….

Chamard Vineyards was gracious enough to offer wine to everyone and I heard they had a rockin’ Halloween Party the night before….

One of my favorite parts of this event was the fabulous music by Loukoum!  They were actually playing music from the move, Amelie, which I was blown away by!  Nothing like a bit of old French music on a fall afternoon in New England! You can listen and learn more about this group at Divina Strings.

Another fabulous example of Hana floral design’s work… what fun!

Perfect Parties showed off some of their beautiful wedding cakes in the tent and their desserts they were serving as I left were incredible!

Okay, I’m going to get in trouble for posting this image I bet… but I had to give a shout out to DD Nickel and Lindsay Maurath of Fresh Lime Events.  We met for lunch before coming to the Wedding Row and DD was so kind enough to do both Lindsay’s and my makeup.  I said “Hot Mess” right before I took this, hence the laughing shot… LOL

The husband and wife duo of Ryan Designs in Rhode Island… check out their event rental options… great new company! Their website will be launching soon, check out their FB fan page in the meantime!

Now, to finish this post, I have to give a direct shout out Geoff Gordon of Photo Booth Planet.  I just met Geoff at A Thyme to Cook’s 25th anniversary party two weeks ago and he was showing everyone his fantastic photo booth at the Wedding Row all afternoon.  I didn’t know you can select color, black and white, and even sephia tone for your images… here are some samples including the hilarious Bruce Plotkin of Bruce Plotkin Photography (member of myKPW) and Linda Sample of A Thyme to Cook (member of myKPW)

Some of these vendors have already joined myKPW, some are joining as we speak, and some are just fabulous and we wanted to mention them to you.  We are all about supporting our wedding community, and we are SO happy for the Wedding Row and were glad we got in the car and drove the 3 hours to see everything at their open house.  Thanks so much ladies!
