In order to stay sane while planning a wedding, every bride needs some quality time with her girlfriends! Here are three fantastic options for “Girl’s Night Out” this week in Seattle…
The Patricia Cameron Fine Art Gallery is featuring a show called The Art of Couture/Deconstructing Happiness; an installation with couture designs by Seattle wedding dress designer Madina Vadache and paintings by Andree Carter, now through June16th. Ohh and ahh over Madina’s stunning designs and find inspiration for your wedding day style!
The super fun and energetic Australian band Architecture in Helsinki is playing a show this Wednesday, June 13th at Neumos on Capitol Hill. I’ll be there dancing my heart out, you should too! Bring your girls and get down.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the original staging, West Side Story is running at the 5th Avenue Theatre, downtown Seattle, through June 19th. If you’ve only seen the movie but never seen this musical live on stage, go now. It is irresistible. The Sharks, the Jets, Maria, Tony, that dancing, that music, “I feel pretty, oh so pretty”… I promise you’ll feel the urge to belt out the songs all the way home. Um, I did.
I got together the other night with the lovely Kelsey from Urban Botanic as she had offered to introduce me to their products and help me create my very own customized scent. It was so much fun! The first step was taking the online personality test to find a starting point. (I’m a “fruity” personality: friendly, committed, hard working and self aware. Nice!) When we got together I was supremely impressed with Kelsey’s know-how. As one little bottle of oil after another came out of her kit we began smelling them all and discussing good combinations. Once I narrowed it down to about three favorites from each scent category the real fun began! We sat and mixed together all kinds of concoctions trying to come up with the one that really grabbed me. My final product was a heavenly blend of equal parts water lily, tomato leaf, and Egyptian musk. I love it, and can’t wait for an excuse to plan an Urban Botanic party for all my girlfriends. I’m not usually a home party kind of girl but this was some seriously addicting fun. Contact Kelsey, [email protected], for ideas on how to create an Urban Botanic get together for your bridal shower or bachelorette party anywhere in the country, or to purchase a DIY oil kit to play with at home.
Best of all, Kelsey is giving away a free personalized parfum spray to one of our Junebug readers! Just send me an e-mail or leave a comment with your contact info describing your all time favorite scents (mine are coffee, anything baking, lemon verbena and the house I grew up in) and the most fun description at the end of next week will win!
