Exciting news!

I am excited to finally announce some exciting news for jem cakes! I have teamed up with three other fabulous ladies to do a mock wedding! We'll be featuring cakes and desserts (of course!), hair, make-up, styling, event planning and photography. This beautiful event will be held at the breathtaking Nature Pointe in the mountains east of Albuquerque.

Michelle Halusco approached me with this great idea of a mock wedding to help all of us newbies launch and broaden our businesses. Michelle is one talented lady working her magic in hair and makeup as owner of Femme Chic. Michelle will be providing hair and makeup for the bride and wedding party. We can hardly wait to see what she comes up with!

Soon after I initially met with Michelle, I immediately thought of calling Holly Siebert who does wedding planning and coordination at Nature Pointe. This multitasking lady is also starting up her wedding and event planning business at Save the Date New Mexico. Not only does Holly have amazing taste, ideas and styling, she also has an awesome connection to Nature Pointe where she's busy on the weekends running their weddings.

Nature Pointe is a gated community just outside of Albuquerque in the beautiful east mountains. The wedding will be held on the breathtaking patios and the reception will take place within the banquet room amidst wood vigas and a stone fireplace. They have graciously donated their venue and all that comes with it for our use.! This beautiful spot is the perfect place to showcase all our talents!

Holly and I have also been working fervently on decorations and styling for the shoot. We are really striving for unique and beautiful decorations to help make this a very memorable event.

This amazing event will all be captured by the talented Saada Howard of SHtography. She'll be following our every move, coordinating shots and snapping that perfect picture to showcase all our efforts. We're so excited to see what her amazing talent captures!

We have been fortunate enough to have some great sponsors come forward too. Brides by Demetrios will be supplying the brides maids dresses and accessories. Mr. Tux will help our male models look as dapper as ever. Nicole's Boutique will be outfitting our bride for the wedding with accessories. They'll also be providing a dress for a little engagement shoot we have planned.

Last, but not least, jem cakes will be providing a plethora of yummy desserts. We have a special engagement shoot with some 'save the date' goodness. The big show will be the wedding dessert table! We're talking cakes, donuts, macaroons, oh my! I'm so excited!

We have less than a week until 'the BIG day'! I am bursting at the seams with excitement to see all our ideas come to fruition! Stay tuned to see pictures of the finished product!
