In honor of the 10th anniversary of Mark Ingram’s bridal atelier, I wanted to do something special to celebrate Mark and his close industry friends and family. The party was inspired by Mark's atelier, so we adorned it with measuring tape garland, button-shaped hors d’oeuvres, and bridal dress illustrations. The night was filled with cool jazz music by Rhythm Collective, tasty food by Callahan Catering, and sweet toasts to the man himself. However, I think his mother put it the best when she said that Mark is just “authentically fabulous” and we all could not be happier to celebrate his success.
