Taking this show on the road
With most of the year's engagements occurring between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day, it is no wonder that there is a "bridal show season" to reach out to these brides. Bridal shows are a great way for brides to see what her area's vendors have to offer and these events come in all shapes and sizes. We have exhibited at three recent events and are scheduled for two more in the coming month. Here are a few photos and some details...
The following weekend, it was off to The Patriot Center in Fairfax for the Washington Bridal Showcase. With over 1200 brides in attendance, a show of this magnitude requires calling in all the troops! Our sister, Margaret, flew in from Rhode Island and my daughter, Sophia, also helped in the booth. Theresa, our beloved floral artist even stopped by. I'm sure she breathed a sigh of relief when she made her way out of the convention center and back into her quiet floral art studio!
The next stop was at The Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton, Virginia for an open house/tasting with R&R Catering. Not sure what to expect when one pulls onto the grounds of what used to be Lorton Prison, turns out I was overwhelmed by the beauty! They have transformed the property into a vibrant arts community. It would be a wonderfully unique wedding or event venue. The food was amazing as were the decor and floral designs by Bergeron's Flowers. Check out the photos.
On January 22nd, we participated in The Washingtonian Unveiled Bridal Event at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in DC. One of the perks of being selected for the Washingtonian Best Wedding Vendor list is that you are invited to exhibit at this luxury bridal event. Bill and Anne Holland, of Holland Photo Arts, were the photographers for the show and their blog shows how the vendors pulled out all the stops to make this an over the top event.
