The What, When and Wear

So many parties, so little time! Oh, yes, it is that time of the year again. The holiday season is here and our social calendars are filling up fast. And, what if this holiday season he pops the question? Our two local engaged couples are not letting that daunting challenge of what to wear sneak up on them. So ladies, wrap yourselves in this season’s hottest party fashions and accessories from Blair’s Landing and The Little Shop of Hers. Your date can complement your style by visiting Bingham’s in Columbia for the latest men’s designer attire. For a black tie event, weddings included, be sure to dress to impress with tuxedos from Janine’s Flowers and Blair’s Landing. No matter where your destination takes you this season, you are sure to stand out in the crowd with any of these looks! For an evening to be remembered, top off the glamour with something special and take a romantic ride with Miracle Carriage Company. Let the parties begin! Cheers! And if it’s a proposal, congratulations! •
