The Perfect Bridal Brunch

 {photography: Jos Riv}

On June 26, 2016 we put on an exclusive and intimate Bridal Brunch for cultural brides embarking on the wedding planning process!

​

The event, held at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge, was an opportunity for the bride-to-be to receive wedding planning tips, tools and guidance from not only us, but also from a panel of past brides who have gone through the process of planning a cultural wedding!

​

This value packed event was also inclusive of a live makeup demo by Makeup by DivaDoll, a fashion show from award-winning bridal designer, Dream Dresses by PMN, an unlimited brunch + mimosa bar, prize giveaways and much more!

Our Cultural Wedding Planning Workshop was the FIRST of its kind! The brunch received so much praise, that we are so excited to share that our second Bridal Brunch will be taking place on Sunday, January 29th, 2017 from 11AM-1PM at the DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport preceding our 2nd Annual Cultural Wedding Show, "Her Big Day: A Cultural Wedding Affair."
Best of all, this year's brunch will be lead by Celebrity Makeup Artist, Glam by Maryam.

Engagement Feature: Meron + Reshad

Bride-to-be: Meron Kassahun

Groom-to-be: Reshad Favors 

Ethnicity of couple: Ethiopian & African American

Tell us how you met one another: Reshad and I saw each other at a friend's engagement party. I had travelled from DC to Florida for the party. Reshad and I spotted each other at the party. We locked eyes for a moment but did not exchange information until after the party. 

How did he pop the question: Reshad planned for us to meet at the cherry blossom festival that takes place each year at the beginning of spring. Previously, I told him how much I loved cherry blossoms and how I wanted to watch them bloom. He figured it would be the perfect opportunity for him to ask for my hand in marriage. After taking in the cherry blossoms for a few hours, I spotted one of my family members. One by one, more of my family started to emerge. I still did not realize what was happening until I turned around and saw Reshad on one knee.

When's the big day: June 17, 2017

What are you looking forward to the most about your wedding: Enjoying the company of all of our close friends and family!

What would you say has been the hardest thing about planning a cultural wedding: Picking cake batter..they're all so good! 

Any tips or advice for the couple planning a wedding right now: Save, save, save! And have a budget. It's also good to have someone that can say no sometimes for me it was Reshad (haha!).
