$15 Workshops April and May in Charlton

Hi parents,
We liked the sound of these Charlton workshops if any of you are getting married or involved in weddings. We also thought some of the skills could be applied to baby showers, birthdays, graduations, First Communions, etc. Come on. Haven't you always wanted to learn how to make a proper bow?

Local Bride-to-Be Offers Budget-Friendly Wedding Workshops

A fairytale wedding with all the bells and whistles is a dream come true for most women. So when current economic woes threatened to cut into bride-to-be Dezeree Delanski’s wedding plans, she refused to scale back. Instead she fought back - with creativity. Dezeree discovered a way to keep the impressive details that define a fabulous wedding, and still stay on budget. And now she will share her creative talents in a series of four upcoming budget-friendly workshops.
“I want brides to know they can still have it all, even if money is tight. Many of the finishing touches that are so important to a wedding can easily become do-it-yourself projects without the expense of hiring out,” she said, adding: “Not only will brides save a bundle of money, the projects are a memorable and fun joint effort!”
Dezeree will host a series of unique “Brides on a Budget” workshops on designated Sunday afternoons in April and May at Charlton Mills (the box factory), Route 20 in Charlton. Pre registration is required. Call (508)-248-7976 to reserve a spot!
