Artistic Soup Photography had the privilege of photographing Kelly’s Bridal Shower this past Sunday, March 14th, 2010.

Sarah created an amazing tropically themed Bridal Shower for her sister Kelly including a cabanna hut, seashells, palm tree cupcakes and Hawaiian skirts.  The party was clearly cherished by all family and friends invited as they laughed, ate well and played bridal shower games for over two hours.

However, there was one family member near and dear to their hearts that was not present. Grandmother, Sue Tolley, who was diagnosed at age 50 with cancer, went into remission after treatment, but died 7 years ago when the cancer came back.  In addition to honoring her this day they also chose to use this celebration to raise money for cancer research.  Sarah chose artist, Stacey Valle of St. Louis to create a unique bracelet to raise funds for the cause.

The bracelets include four wooden discs with stamped lettering then hand-painted and sprayed with several coats of gloss acrylic varnish. Discs are linked with jump rings and chain with toggle clasp. One side of bracelet says CURE and other side says HOPE. Length of bracelet is 8″. Chain links could be removed or added to adjust length. They come in many color combinations of light and dark pink, white and brown.

There are 20 bracelets still available for sale, anyone interested in purchasing a bracelet can contact Sarah directly at sarah11883@sbcglobal.net.  The price point is $10 but you can give as much or as little as you would like.  100% of the proceeds from the sale of the bracelets will be donated to the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Sarah will be sending a check to the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in September, which is the month of her grandma’s birthday.

Having friends and family members who have survived and lost their lives to cancer Artistic Soup Photography was touched by Sarah’s energy and effort in her cause.  We are happy to assist in Sarah’s fundraising efforts.
