We are super excited to announce our 3rd annual new year party, but this time it’s a Leap Year Party! But not just any party, it’s a Remix Party, taking familiar things and giving it a new spin! It’s going to be an epic party that comes every 4 years! And you are all invited! Get your tickets now!

We’re also bringing back the most anticipated Design Challenge for Wedding Professionals for the third time in a row! This year, the teams will be designing for a cause. A portion of the entry fee will go towards emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies via Shelterbox. All the attendees will be voting on their favorite table with their dollar (included in the ticket sale). If you’re ready to take the challenge, contact Lucia at lucia@utterlyengaged.com for application and details. Hurry, space is limited!

The event is also the perfect way to promote your business to the best in the wedding, events and blogging industry. If you’re interested in sponsorship opportunities, please email Henny at henny@utterlyengaged.com for more information.

Partnered :: Spring Flings with Vera

Vera Wang has introduced 2 new additions for Spring 2012 to her already fabulous menagerie of White by Vera Wang bridesmaid dresses at David’s Bridal. With a reasonable price point you won’t get any objections from your bridesmaids.

The first dress is a little satin number with a strap on one side and a pretty, sophisticated bow on the other. It is simple and sophisticated and comes in shades to compliment every spring color palette.

The second creation is made with layers of soft netting and has a sweet yet sexy illusion neckline and a satin sash to accentuate the waist! It’s available in Charcoal (pictured) and Ebony for an understated and modern wedding palette.

Pair them with one of Vera’s gorgeous shoes and your bridesmaids would love you for your discerning taste! If you are loving these flirty spring looks, you can try them on in person at David’s Bridal!

Happy Almost Spring!

A Modern Chinese Haute Couture

Happy Lunar New Year! In honor of my Chinese heritage, I wanted to share this modern take on the traditional Chinese Cheong-sam (or Qi Pao) dress by NE-TIGER, one of China’s fastest-growing fashion houses. Inspired by the Tang Dynasty, he updated a traditional design and turned it into something so beautiful and new. I love the silhouette of the blue dress and all the unique Chinese details he’s infused in his designs. Bold, striking and beautiful!
