Local celebrity, Monte Durham, recently hosted a Wedding Planners Mingle Event which took place at Salon MONTE, followed by a reception at Hummingbird. Makeup artist to clients such as Michelle Obama and Meryl Streep, Carl Ray, worked his magic on the models before they stepped into stunning gowns by Zoya's Atelier and were accessorized by the talented jewelry artist, Mindy Lam. Of course, no Monte Durham event is complete without bubbles! Guests enjoyed their evening sipping on champagne, discussing fashion and taking pictures with the beautiful models. Monte Durham told VIP, "It was an evening where fashion met style and beauty met glamour!" To make the evening even more special, The Angel Wings artwork by Mary Edwards was on display. The wings have been showcased at various local businesses throughout the month of Ocobter in an effort to raise breast cancer awareness.
