One Hot Mama Dives Into The Shark Tank – Philadelphia Wedding and Event Planner – Angela MALICKI events

It’s true, one of our clients, Deidrea Haysel, is taking a huge plunge into the shark tank! Not the shark tank you’re probably thinking of, but ABC’s hit show Shark Tank. Deidra owns Hot Mama Gowns the latest and most fashionable way to dress during maternity.

We have had the honor to plan Deidrea’s viewing party which is happening THISFriday, April 22nd at McKenzie Brew House in Glenn Mills from 6:30-9:30pm. And yes – of course you can come! It’s easy, just RSVP to info@angelamalickievents.com and we will handle the rest! You will be able to view the show which airs at 8pm, there will be a lot of great prizes to win and you will even go home with your very own swag bag full of goodies!

Deidrea came up with the idea of Hot Mama Gowns during her own pregnancy in 2006. She was not thrilled with what she calls the, “itchy, chemical smelling, faded hospital gowns.” Right then and there was when her idea came to life! Deidrea went through many prototypes but eventually came up with a great design, plus the gowns are 100% pure organic cotton. The gowns are absolutely beautiful and range from sizes 2-24, with many styles to choose from. (Too bad neither of us are pregnant, or we would buy some ourselves!)

Delaware’s own, Hot Mama, Deidrea.

Now if you don’t know what Shark Tank is all about, it’s simple. The basic concept is that entrepreneurs put their company or idea out of the line, for the ‘sharks’ to take a bite at. Those ‘sharks’ consist of Mark Cuban, Jeff Foxworthy, real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran, infomercial industry pioneer Kevin Harrington, technology innovator Robert Herjavec, fashion icon Daymond John and financial expert Kevin O’Leary – not an easy crowd to please! The sharks decide whether or not they want to use their contacts and expertise to invest in the company. So on Friday, we will see if Hot Mama Gowns sank or swam with the sharks!

This is going to be a fabulous viewing party you will not want to miss! We are having a amazing group of sponsors including McKenzie Brew House, Kevin York Photography, and The Original Runner Co. Also, a list of companies who donated to our swag boxes can be found on the Hot Mama Blog.

It’s really a no brainer. An awesome venue, hot mamas, prizes, swag boxes, amazing photography by Kevin York, and a chance to party with us!

Hope to see you there!

Marianne and Jared, Part one – Glen Foerd Mansion – Philadelphia Wedding and Event Planner – Angela MALICKI events

What a fabulous wedding that Marianne and Jared had! When I meet with any client at our first meeting, we generally review all thoughts and idea that one has for their event, and this wedding I knew would be like no other! Marianne’s vision of a Victorian themed wedding was fit for Queen. Her inspiration, “The Age of Innocence”, the movie that is. Countless hours of research and the perfect wedding professionals made it a success. It all started with the venue, and one that is near and dear to me, The Glen Foerd Mansion on the Delaware. Next the Dress, and what a dress at that. Marianne’s gown was a couture gown by Atelier Aimee hand made in Italy, adorned with gorgeous purple flowers. Her accessories were right our of a fashion mag. Lace up Booties by Christian Louboutin and jewelry by Atelier Aimee. Marianne’s looked could not have been perfected without the help of the beautiful Claudia Seyler. All these memories were captured by the amazing Marie Labbancz. Marie words can not express your amazing talent. And to the couple, you both were a delight to work with and I will never forget this event!

The invites, I loved them from the beginning. Marianne and Jared’s scroll invitations were hand calli-graphed by the talented Bernard Maisner of NYC. Each one was tea stained to give it that vintage look. The invitation was tucked in a bronze scroll tube and packaged in a gold box with eggplant colored feathers.If his work looks familiar to you, he worked on the movie”The Age of Innocence” – Fate right!

Marianne looks like she stepped out of the Victorian Era. Absolutely Gorgeous!

The table-scape. Where do I begin. We started our table-scape design mid-point through the planning process. Now where do you begin- the florist of course. Britney of Petals Lane was the master mind behind the floral design from the table-scape and the conservatory. We also partnered with Irene Silver over at Party Rentals LTD for the linen selection. The complete look turned out exactly what Marianne and Jared wanted. A room fit for a regal affair. Each table was decorated with tall candelabras, mini bouquets and crystals. The irish linen napkins rolled in bronze rings and completed with peacock feathers. Each table named a different film selected by Marianne.

The conservatory was the hot spot with draping and lighting it was unbelievable look as soon as you walked in. Lighting was provided by Vic and his team from VU Events.The table-scape was slightly different with tall centerpieces and three varieties of flowers. This was no ordinary room. The cake was an absolute work of art. The cake had a lace detail and hand made cameos completed the look. I couldn’t believe that they were edible.

The entertainment. I loved working with this band. Scott Raggsdale, band leader of Raggs and the All Stars were a huge success. Not only did they perform during the reception but a classical trio performed during cocktail hour and a Jazz Trio during dinner. The guests were dancing non stop as soon as they entered the room.

This dance was my favorite. Marianne and Jared danced to a slow Waltz to “Fascination” they were fabulous and absolutely perfect. You both did an amazing job!
