Yesterday, China and Chris (engagement) were married at Dorothy B. Oven Park. Family flew in from Paris, France to enjoy this special occasion. Mr. Fleck’s face said it all when he saw his “China Doll” for the first time in her dress. The wedding featured a traditional French wedding cake called a croquembouche ( be sure to check out the ring shot in the slideshow ). For their honeymoon, China and Chris are skiing in Montana. Enjoy a few images from the wedding and check back in a few weeks for the slideshow.

The Tallahassee Association of Wedding Professionals is proud to announce that on March 1st, 2009, TAWP will introduce Tallahassee to a new kind of bridal experience.  Tallahassee’s leaders in the wedding industry ( yours truly included ) are hosting a boutique style bridal expo at the Tallahassee Leon County Civic Center.  This unique expo gives brides a chance not only to gather information about local vendors, but also gain knowledge and experience about the entire wedding planning process!  Unlike other bridal shows, only TAWP certified vendors will be exhibiting at the Expo, so brides will only be presented with top quality vendors.

Each vendor will have a showroom to show brides examples of their work, to give brides the opportunity to stroll through a mall like atmosphere and chat with vendors they are interested in.  With the large format booths, not only will vendors have more area to show what they do, but brides will have a better opportunity to truly “shop”!

Brides will also have an opportunity to learn from local professionals.  TAWP vendors in each category from planners to photographers and travel agents will be presenting informational programs in the center area– teaching couples what to look for in vendors, what questions to ask and what some common mistakes might be.  So, girls, feel free to bring along the fiance, mom, sister or bridesmaid– they can get a mini-course in wedding planning while you shop the aisles!

Brides will also have an opportunity to win doorprizes– from free gifts to discounts on services, the doorprizes are a huge bonus!  Brides tickets are only $9, with each accompanying ticket at only $5!  Doors open at 1:00pm and the show ends at 4:00pm with a bridal fashion show.  Pre-registered brides will also receive FREE parking, so be sure to register online at TAWPExpoRegistration!

WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that Lewis Johnson Photography has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™!

In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means Lewis Johnson Photography is one of the very best Photographers.

Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.

“We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”

We would like to thank our past brides (and grooms ) for speaking on our behalf and helping us win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!

Also we would like to congratulate our fellow Tallahassee Association of Wedding Professional Members (TAWP), on their awards as well.  ( Missy Gunnels Flowers, Myra Jean’s Cakes and Tiki’s Tasties )
