Welcome to Midorea! It's a pity you missed out on the event, but there's a wedding this summer and there are most likely gonna be some really pretty items for it!
Welcome! :3 I wouldn't worry too much about the event, I myself only caught the last day of it so I only got 5/8 items. ^^; Once you play around the battle system a little and make a few posts you'll earn enough gold to start buying the things that you want, one missed event won't matter. =]
