Hello there! I’m Melanie with Sun Rental Center -
Being involved in the party and event rental industry for over 20 years, I have faced many challenges, met many fabulous people and witnessed several great and memorable events!!! I love what I do, obviously, 20 years into it! Planning events and seeing everything come together in the end is so gratifying. Coming up with the ideas, putting it all together and having a successful event are what keep me coming back for more!

Hi! I’m Nichole Meyer and I’ve had a little addiction problem for the past six years now. It happens all the time. Suddenly, an idea pops into my head and it’s all I can think about. The next thing I know, I’m buying more crystal. No, not that kind of “crystal,” thank goodness! The type of crystal I’m referring to sparkles like no other and is the finest crystal used in jewelry design – Swarovski Crystal.
I’ve been custom designing jewelry ever since I left my job of ten years in Corporate America to raise my two little girls who are now ages six and three. My whole life I’ve always been a bit obsessed with jewelry. From the time I was a little girl, my mom would drag me into antique stores. While she browsed, I would immediately make a beeline to the vintage jewelry counter. And today, while others are watching award shows and talking about the gowns, my eye immediately goes to the jewels. I literally couldn’t stop thinking about Angelina Jolie’s emerald drop earrings for a week after the 2009 Oscars.
I design all types of jewelry, but the pieces I create for brides and their attendants get me the most excited and inspired. It tickles me to know that on any given weekend, my creations are making their way down the aisle on a beautiful bride, her bridesmaids and flower girls. As I carefully string each bead and fasten each clasp, I love knowing that my jewelry will soon be framing a smiling face that says “I do” and dangling daintily on the wrist that cuts the cake.
I’d argue that jewelry design is one of the most expensive crafts out there. Thank goodness I’ve found hundreds of brides who love and appreciate my work enough to wear it on their big day. Yeah, I’m an addict and a “dealer,” too J
