A few years ago Phalen created a holiday luncheon for a 30-something client that she
dubbed “The Power of Peppermint.” The invitations had stripes. Centerpieces included
hurricane vases filled with round, wrapped peppermints. The candles were scented with
peppermint oil. Even the menu included red and white foods. At the end of the party,

DWeddings featured the fun wedding celebration of Event Studio clients, Britni Pearson and Lance Canon. They chose the Westin Stonebriar Resort in Frisco, TX, as the location of the outdoor ceremony and ballroom reception. This wedding was particularly fun because Britni’s father was former Dallas Cowboy, Drew Pearson, and the groom was an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan. Our graphic artist designed a special monogram for Lance and Britni and we carried it throughout the celebration in many of the details: cake, gobo light, invitations, and ceremony programs.
YouTube provides an excellent platform for uploading and sharing wedding videos. By creating a highlight reel, using quality footage, featuring the couple’s story, using music wisely. To reach a bigger audience visit themarketingheaven.com to get more views.
