Umm, Umm, Good
.jpg)
One of our favorite things to do is NETWORK! And taste testing goes hand-in-hand with networking and getting to know our local vendors and other professionals in this fabulous and creative industry. Mark and Kurt from Las Vegas Cheesecakes, a local Grand Rapids cheesecake shop, invited us out to taste some of their popular cakes, and we fell in love. Sherrie of ele3 is quite the homemade cheesecake baker herself, and she was totally impressed! They have certain menu items that are best sellers, but they are not opposed to thinking outside of the box either, give them a call, or go in to purchase a cheesecake, umm, umm, good!

Lotus Photographic
The 3 of us met with Karrn Frost of Lotus Photographic yesterday for the first time, although we have seen her work previously, and blog stalk her just like everyone else, it was truly a pleasure, and more importantly, we got to share our thoughts and feelings on the green movement, and how important it is to all of us. Her work speaks for itself, but for those brides who are not sold on the whole "green" thing, she will definitely help change your mind.

Cascade Winery
Last Tuesday ele3 had the opportunity to connect with Cascade Winery, located right on East Beltline in Grand Rapids.
The afternoon proved to be very informative, through the exchange of different business ideas and discussion on why we love doing what we do! The winery offers a variety of services for all types of customers.
Cascade Winery is a cozy, intimate place for tasting or bottling your own wine, but they offer some special treats as well, like their pasta and wine night cooked by Bob himself, or their chocolate, cheese and wine night. If you and your fiance are looking for a low key night out, do try Cascade Winery.
Another fun feature that the winery offers, is custom label printing for your own wine! To the bride that is a wine connoisseur, or to the bride that likes the idea of it, custom labeled wine is a great gift for your wedding party, or to serve at your wedding.
What we love most is that the winery is located right in Grand Rapids, brides please remember this is a great way to support your local community and another simple way to add a "green" element to your wedding. The winery offers a variety of different wines, a few personal favorites are the raspberry chocolate dessert wine, and the cooking wine flavored with jalapenos!

Falling In Love With Green
Even in the midst of your wedding bliss there is always an opportunity to help the enviroment you live in, even while registering for your wedding gifts! I highly suggest if you would like to decrease your carbon footprint, look into registering on All Green Wedding. This is a wonderful website that encourages brides to support their local community. The concept of All Green Wedding is that the bride registers with stores that All Green Wedding has listed online and the couple's gifts are actually monies that they can spend at stores within their local community. All Green Wedding has an array of merchants they are affiliated with on their website, it is a definitely worth checking into. Besides, what is better than being able to shop and help your local community AND your environment all at the same time? Our blushing bride will be falling in love with All Green Wedding before she can even say "I do"!

Destination Wedding Anyone?
One of the ladies of ele3 had the opportunity to travel to the beautiful Grand Cayman, B.W.I. last week. During her relaxing and rejuvenating stay, she was able to meet with the very lovely Amanda Jay from the Westin Casuarina Resort and Spa. Located on the pristine seven mile beach, the hotel has everything and more for your destination wedding. We highly recommend checking it out, and if destination weddings don't suit your fancy, then it is a perfect location for your honeymoon.
