I had a blast meeting with all of the lovely brides at the Who's Who In "I Do" Bridal Show earlier this week. For those of you who weren't able to make it out to the show, below are some photos of our unique reception styled booth. The theme was a romantic elegance with an ivory, gold and blushing pink color scheme. Satin fabrics and rich accents were all pulled together to create this beautiful look. A special thanks to Ken Marino of Fabulous Flowers for creating our gorgeous centerpiece. Painted Curly Willow and hanging crystals are definitely a popular trend that I am currently seeing in the world of weddings. Add some hanging votives to really complete the look! We are also honored to be voted as a Who's Who In "I Do" Event Designer at the Awards Gala that followed the bridal show. Looking forward to another year of beautiful weddings!
