Jump Start Your Heart 2nd Annual Valentine Gala






I've been very busy lately, and haven't had nearly as much time as I wish I had to blog. But I've been busy with what I like to call a "party with a purpose". This one was so fun, and I came on board a bit late. I am going to attach the link to a great, local non-profit organization, Jump Start Your Heart or, JSYH. Last Saturday, which was the eve of Valentines Day, was the 2nd annual fundraiser. The photographer for the event, Baton Rouge photographer, Darryl Bell, was so kind to get back to me so quickly with a few pictures to post. The Gala was held at the Old State Capital, one of my favorite aspects of my job is being able to work at so many different, beautiful and creative venues. And so far, the Old State Capital is on my very short list of "favorite venues". There are many wonderful and talented florists in Baton Rouge, but I am so partial to Broadmoor Village Florist on Florida Boulevard in Baton Rouge. The ladies over there are so easy to work with. I went to them at the last minute looking for Hydrangeas to decorate the ballroom, and as usual - they came through for me (on the day before Valentines Day of course - "Love Them". Thank you all so much!!!) The staff and volunteers at the Old State Capital are also an absolute delight to work with! If you are ever looking for a great place to have a party or reception - you should check it out.
