Hello!!!

Well this is my first post, so I just thought I would give you a little insight into the world of Cara. I grew up in Fishers and graduated from Hamilton Southeastern High School. After high school I attended Ball State University where I was a proud Chi Omega. The summer after my sophomore year I visited an animal shelter and came home with a puppy that I named Tyson. He has been stuck following me around ever since!!! After graduating from Ball State in three years, I became the manager of a campus bar and grill named the Locker Room. If any of my friends had a party or event I was always the one asked to plan it, and I had so much fun getting every detail right. Four and half years and five moves after the visit to that animal shelter, I decided it was time for Tyson and I to move back to the Indy area. Once back in Indy I started working for CIB Bank. That winter I saw the wedding planning class offered through IUPUI and new that I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I loved the class, and knew I wanted to get more involved. Since my mom has a background in floral design and has been doing flowers for weddings, it seemed to be the perfect opportunity to start Wild Orchid Events. As for me, I really enjoy taking Tyson on walks, decorating, and catching up on the latest celebrity gossip. I am a sucker for puppies and babies, and LOVE the color pink. On the weekends, if I am not coordinating a wedding or special event you can find me hanging out with my friends. I love experiencing new things: foods, drinks, places, people, events, etc. I think giving the perfect gift, card or surpise and seeing the look on that person's face is the best feeling in the world. Being able to create the perfect moment for someone gives me that same feeling; and I am lucky enough to call that my job. Now you know a little more about my world. This blog will be full of things that will be beneficial to brides and event hosts, my interests, and anything fun or random I feel like passing along. Love makes the world go round; keep on making it!
