When someone emails you, asking if you want to cover an event at arguably the nicest and newest event center in town, you drop everything to do it. That’s what happened Wednesday night when I was invited to Casa Real. I was told the event had turned into a decorator’s showcase and believe me, they didn’t disappoint.

I took so many pictures that I’ll have to break this up into a few posts. I’ll be back next week with some tips and trends and drool-worthy event shots that would be perfect for a wedding you may be planning or any party, really. So for now, enjoy this preview eye candy and check back next week for when I gather up some tips and save the very best photos for last.

Welcome to Casa Real!

Scallops anyone?

A chic place for guests to rest.

LOVE the dress in the forefront, although the one on the left is more like the one I wore.

Oh, the flowers… what can you say? So pretty! You’ve got the traditional flowers displayed in a modern way. This is a clue into what a local event designer says is the next big design idea.

Okay, fine you want a teaser into the grand Casa Real transformation? Here you go…

Have a great weekend!
