When longtime and seasoned wedding events creative, Kensington Flowers and Events Inc come calling, you go!
And so began the May inaugural DMV Wedding and Events vendor Showcase at the Signature Blue event center in Beltsville, MD orchestrated by the very seasoned Paulina 'Nana' Kodua of Kensington Flowers and Events, and her dear friend, Tina Ajari Bello of Elite Party Rental and Events.
The goal as stated by Nana was both "a one-stop-shop for vendors that will make your event take off with class, attention to detail, and utmost satisfaction" and an excellent opportunity for collaboration amongst event creatives in the DC, Maryland and Virginia area. Although I had a previous engagement that day, my friend and sister Chuigo, call her Chu-Chu, stood in for me and didn't disappoint. I stopped long enough to capture a few images as vendors were setting up.
Enjoy.
Oh this cake, this cake, this cake... I actually smelled the sugar as I stood next to it. Had to zoom in for the details.
God bless women ... from our head to toe. Unquie pieces to complement any attire.
Party rentals ... what's your pleasure
Custom gifts, hand selected, just for you and your guests. Leave the planning to the experts.
Right there ... got it! She's always on POINT!

I missed staying long enough to get one of those bling-bling shawls I love from this mother-daughter and aunt team.
You should have seen the original authentic saris on display.
