Hello Bellah Blog Readers!

This past weekend was Easter. While most families were celebrating it together or just relaxing during one of the biggest holiday weekends of the year, us at Bellah were hard at work. Every year we put on Columbia Kids Fashion Weekend! This is a huge event in Columbia, and this year was no different except for the fact that it fell on Easter Weekend.

It kicked off on Saturday with what was supposed to be a photoshoot and Easter Egg Hunt at Maxcy Gregg Park….But as you already know, Saturday was a rainy and cold day to be outside. So what we did instead was have Easter baskets prepared for the 30+ kids that were a part of this past fashion weekend and handed them out later that evening. They had rehearsal so it worked out in everyone’s favor. Rehearsal was a blast and the kids were attentive and ready to participate. After rehearsal they had a fitting with a few of our designers.

Donna Anderson (owner of both Bellah Modeling Agency and Columbia Kids Fsahion Weekend) and myself had our work cut out for us that night. That’s right, we personally set up the venue and decorated the place (except for the balloon arches, we had someone else for that). We also went, picked out, and picked up the Marshall’s line that walked down the runway the next night.

Sunday, the hosts of our show, Jazzy and Jayla (Kid Bellah Models) had a hair appointment so our morning started out early at 7am. After that, it was off to the venue for us so that I could do their makeup, my own makeup, and finish the last touches before kids arrived (mainly me taking z-racks out of my car). Put overall the morning went by quick and it was fun. The doors opened at 4pm and the show started at 5pm. The show had a great designer lineup:

Audri J’s

Marshall’s

Star Wree

and LAW.

The host of our show kept the energy high and the act was refreshing. Bellah Live also covered the event and interviewed parent, spectators, staff, and vendors. Over all the show was a blast and even working the show was fun. There was never a dull moment the entire night and it was fantastic. Shout out to all the volunteers who helped the show run smoothly and shout out to Style by Naida for the z-racks, and Peliclaude for the Tree decorations! Look out for photos and videos of the night to be post all over Columbia Kids Fashion Weekend social media sites!
