Chic Sweets Teams Up with MMD Events and Limelight Photography for Photoshoot!

Chic Sweets was so honored to be asked to participate in an amazing photoshoot courtesy of MMD Events at the Tampa Marriott Westshore. MMD’s Amanda and Matt Allen are two amazing artists and such a great team! They created a fantastic ceremony site, a chic poolside cocktail lounge and a reception area in the ballroom!

Tampa’s Limelight Photography was there to capture all the magic–the colors were pink, hot pink and gold accents and I was amazed at how the space was able to transform with some great decor elements such as lighting; table settings/linens; chairs; floral, etc. Limelight Photography’s Rebecca and Michael Zoumberos captured everything and I can’t wait to see the final pictures (we will be sure to post them soon).

What made everything extra special was Limelight’s model/bride Sarah Kate who wore her own (fantastic) wedding gown for the shoot!

Thanks to all the wonderful professionals Chic Sweets got to work with:
Wedding Gown: The Dressing Room
Uplights, Flowers, Draping and Design: MMD Events

Sylvia Weinstock, “Queen of Cakes” Event!

Chic Sweets had the honor of providing a candy/dessert table for the Sylvia Weinstock, “Queen of Cakes” luncheon at the beautiful Renaissance Tampa Plaza. Sylvia was a featured guest for Florida West Coast NACE!

Sylvia shared her career highlights, including her famous clients (Ivanka Trump, Cathrine Zeta Jones & Michael Douglas, etc.), and becoming top in her industry.

Sylvia took plenty of questions from the audience, giving us some insights into she got her start, how she has established her business and brand (those trademark glasses), and how she has maintained her business for years!

Gasparilla International Film Festival

Some of Tampa’s best and brightest artists showcased their latest works at The Ritz in Ybor for a silent auction. Many other great prizes, including a trip to Puerto Vallerta, Mexico, were auctioned and raffled off to support the 2010 festival!

The Gasparilla International Film Festival, is one of Florida ‘s largest independent film festivals and is dedicated to advancing film education and community involvement in film in the Tampa Bay area. Nothing beats helping out a great cause and organization!

The night was fantastic and everything looked beautiful-it was definitely a team effort and we look forward to participating again next year!

Butterflies…Butterflies…everywhere…

Well, I am finally getting around to adding a few sneak peak pictures from a recent surprise birthday party Chic Sweets was asked to do. When creating a table, it’s not only important to use a great palatte (love yellow and navy) but also adding different elements which will only serve to complete the look of your table. That includes florals, coordinating linens, candles, great ribbons and of course, a running theme–winter, Halloween, fall and in the case of this table…Butterflies!
