Bridal Fashion Debut

To kickstart to 2009, I decided to participate in the Bridal Fashion Debut which was held on January 10th & 11th at the Phoenix Convention Center.

It turned out to be a really amazing show and I am really glad I was there!

One of the florists that I work with is always so generous to provide me with decorations for my booth and because she does this for me as a favor, I typically just work around whatever she has available at the time and it always comes together really nicely.

But this time I got a bee in my bonnet (who says that anymore?) and decided to go to Fabric Depot to select some fabric and make my own booth decorations. So, I picked out a really pretty floral fabric and some bead trim (see a close-up picture below) and made a valance and table runner out of it. Then I selected some Mossy green satin fabric and made some panels out it. And Voila! It made for a really pretty little display.

Of course, I still borrowed an arrangement and table drape from the florist (Thanks Karen!) and rented some fruitwood Chivari chairs from Tri-Rentals (Thanks Shelly!) to finish it off. I think it looked really pretty and it was very affordable!

Once again, my sister Sara (that's her in the picture) helped me in my booth and here is a picture of how it turned out:

I met some fantastic new vendors and enjoyed getting to see the vendors I already know. I also met some really amazing couples and I am really excited about seeing them again in the initial consultations we scheduled.

So, overall it was a great success!
