Cinderella Carriage Cake Centerpiece

Posted by Nicole Pinto on Saturday, August 28, 2010, In : Event Decoration Ideas 
Cinderella Fantasy's decorations look like Cinderella carriages and you can place your cake inside. They can be decorated with lights and flowers. What a dramatic setting! It could add the perfect touch to a fairytale themed wedding or party. Of course, you could have a carriage ride outside and go inside to find another carriage waiting.

We have a wedding coming up on September 5th, 2010 for Priscilla and Kyle. We're very excited about their wedding. The color theme of the wedding is purple, silver and zebra stripes! Of course, I ran out to go get zebra striped ribbon to make swags for this. :)

Daddy & Daughter Dinner at Chik-Fil-A

Posted by Nicole Pinto on Tuesday, August 17, 2010, In : Promotion 
Chik-Fil-A in Oakleaf Town Center was having a Daddy & Daughter Dinner on Friday February 12, 2010. I just love how they have community events to bring everyone together. This event was set up so that other Chik-Fil-A's in the area could get ideas on their own events. So, this event is for every daddy to bring his daughter for a night of food and fun. We were asked to come and so was a limo company called Dynasty Limo. We would both be giving rides to the little girls and their fathers. The u...

We were contacted by Freddy in January for a wedding on January 30, 2010. Freddy was very nice and excited to arrange a surprise carriage ride for his daughter Candace and her soon-to-be-husband Zach. Surprise? Sure, we're in. We enjoy surprises as much as anyone else. So, Freddy laid out his plans to us. He wanted us to pick up the bride and groom after their ceremony and take them over to the reception venue. The location? Jacksonville Beach, Florida! Oh, yes, we were excited and hurried to...

Christmas Rides at Oakleaf Town Center

Posted by Nicole Pinto on Sunday, August 8, 2010, In : Holidays 
In December 2009, we gave horse-drawn carriage rides to celebrate the Christmas and the holidays. We did these at Oakleaf Town Center in Jacksonville, FL. We all had a great time singing christmas carols and enjoying the cooler weather. We met so many wonderful people. Here's a clip of Sonic and myself driving the carriage.



As you can see, we wrapped the carriage up to look like a present and we wore Santa hats. Even Sonic had a Santa hat.



The best part was lighting the carriage up at night. Th...
