Mixing and Mingling at the Blog Fete Mix and Mingle

We've been sharing mix and mingle photos and details for a little over a week and now it's time for some fun pics and candid shots! The mix and mingle portion of the event gives all the attendees, sponsors and presenters time to get to know one another while sipping wine and enjoying the vendor booths.  These photos captured by the event photographer, Renee Nicole Design & Photography, are some of our favorites. Renee was able to showcase what truly happens when 30 talented bloggers unite for an evening of mixing and mingling.

Blog Fete Mix and Mingle Craft Booth

This year Blog Fete had a wonderful variety of mix and mingle booth vendors.  Make sure to check out all of last weeks highlight posts. We were honored to have a craft table join in on Friday's event and it was such a hit! My sweet friend and Blog Fete team member Carmen of The Flair Exchange and one of my all time fave peeps Dina of Deliciously Darling joined forces to offer a jewelry craft station.  Being that Dina had her hands on this one it was of course glitter filled (even the hammer was gold glitter). These crafty ladies created a stunning display for our attendees. 

Each attendee was able to pick a length, customize a charm and add some bling to a necklace. Some attendees made multiple necklaces because it was just too cool of a craft to not take advantage of! Dina made Melissa a custom Blog Fete necklace for display purposes and it's a beauty. This is such an awesome do-it-yourself accessory.

Much thanks again to our event photographer Renee Nicole Design & Photography for capturing photos of the displays. Thanks also to Candy Crush Shop for the amazing gold linens which you'll see a little more of this week.

Blog Fete Mix and Mingle Booth Sponsor: Stella and Dot

I was thrilled to have Stella and Dot at our mix and mingle event.  Not only is their jewelry eye candy but our rep for the evening showed us some of the newest items. One of the necklaces can be worn a ton of ways and I can't wait to get my hands on that one!  It was an evening filled with style, wine and chit chat.  I'm beginning to think we should have the mix and mingle be a two day event.  Thank you to our sweet rep, Callan for showcasing Stella & Dot accessories with the 2013 attendees.

A special thank you to our event photographer, Renee Nicole Photography for capturing the stunning jewelry details.
