SME donates Wedding Coordination for Breast Cancer Survivor

On August, 28, 2010, Simply Mumtaz Events was proud to partner with The Spiraled Stem for the wedding of Binh Phan, the winner of The Say ‘I Do’ With a Big ‘Do Contest. This contest was for women who lost their hair to breast cancer treatment. The winning prize was a wedding day package worth over $16,000! Her wedding was held on August 28, 2010 at the San Pedro Doubletree Hotel. The Spiraled Stem Floral Design provided VeriFlora Certified Sustainably Grown Flowers valued at over $2,000. They were absolutely stunning! Breast cancer survivor Binh Phan of Garden Grove, had no family history of breast cancer and was unexpectedly diagnosed in 2008 at the tender age of 21. She was facing rounds of harsh treatments that would surely result in hair loss and other unpleasant side effects. Boyfriend, Dean Blanton not only stood by her, he asked her to be his wife and spend their lives together, through sickness and in health. “Winning this contest means the world to me,” says Binh. I want my husband to see me on our wedding day as the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on, and for the world to see that I have fought, overcome, and am a survivor that won’t be defeated.” Beautiful Linens donated by Wildflower Linens, valued at $1500.
