Weddings

With summer right around the corner, do you know what that means?! Does a long white dress, lacey veil and perfect golden circles ring a bell?  Summer is the most common season for weddings and  when most florists and bridal shops are the busiest.  If you have any good suggestions for businesses that provide services that are wedding related whether you offer catering, floral arrangements, or have a special venue please let us know. On the other hand, if you are an owner of such business you can follow or friend us on either our Twitter or Facebook.  In addition to our facebook and twitter accounts.  We starting a Pinterest account solely to feature local Lafayette wedding related businesses.  In our Pinterest, we want to be posting up pictures from our local vendors products as well as those of past experiences that the public would like to share with us.  We are looking forward to share you pictures as well as your services!

Father's Day Weekend

Have you gotten your dad his present for this weekend?  If you have absolutely no clue what I am referring to, it's Father's Day!  If you are forgetful like I am, no worries, there are some fun local activities that you could take Dad or the family to.  For starters, the Taste Of Tippecanoe is this Saturday June 16, 2012!  At the Taste, you will be able to enjoy good music and nice weather.  Also, there will be samples of food from many local restaurants.  All ages are welcome to this event!

In addition to this special weekend, the Historic Centennial Hollyshock Festival will be held at the corner of 6th and Brown Street form 11 am to 2 pm.  This event will have complimenatary food and beverages.  There will also be activities for kids to do as well as walking tours.  Therefore, if you are in town and have no plans then stop by both places and enjoy! 

Most importantly, to all the fathers out there hope all of you have a great weekend!

Weekend Activities

Lately we have had some gorgeous weather that is perfect for outdoor activities!  Why not get out and enjoy it before the seasons change and it's winter once again.  A great way to enjoy the outdoor and weather is to take a hike or a jog at one of our many local parks that provide beautiful scenery. Whether you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere like that of the Clegg Botananical Gardens which over looks Wildcat Creek and is home to all sorts of flowers, grasses and plants. If you need something a little more upbeat or family oriented, your best options are either Happy Hallow Park or Armstrong Park.  Both parks provide playgrounds and trails that are perfect for those who like to multi task, take a nice jog or walk and take the kids to have some play time.  If you are one of our future guests, keep in mind Munger Park, which is perfect for a morning jog, is only two miles away from our property.  Keep in mind most parks close at dusk, so take advantage of these long summer days and enjoy the lovely outdoors.

Well it's the first day of June and June always reminds me of new beginnings like weddings.   So, we thought we would focus today on weddings.  Congratulations to those who have a wedding this month, celebrated an engagement, and especially those who have anniversaries. 

We would like to hear about who in the area provided great wedding related services.  Do you know of a great photographer you would recommend, or maybe the wedding planner was the best ever,  who made that memorable wedding cake.  We invite you join us on your favorite social media site and share your pictures and recommendations.http://www.facebook.com/mobileprotection#!/courtyard.lafayette
