March 25th Bridal Show Recap 03/28/2012

We had a blast meeting with all of the lovely brides at the Who's Who In "I Do" Bridal Show this past Sunday. 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 Spring Fling with an ivory, chocolate, and blushing pink color scheme. Satin fabrics and color coordinated chargers and plates were pulled together to create the backdrop. A lovely decorated birdcage and mini birdcage placecard holders were used to complete the Spring Fling look.  This setup works wonderful for brides who are looking to try something different from the traditional look of floral centerpieces. 

A special thanks to Petite Cupcakes & Events for providing the matching pastel cupcake tower. The cupcakes that we had on display were Southern Wedding and Strawberry Champagne - visit www.petite-cupcakes.com to check out the many other tasty flavors that Petite Cupcakes & Events offers.

Pink butterflies were attached sporadically to the outside of the cage while a lovely birdie hung over an assortment of potpourri inside the birdcage.

Votives are a great way to brighten any table setup.

I just love these custom wedding cake plates offered by Paloma's Nest. Each plate is customized with the couple's names and optional wedding date. An adorable bird or heart motif is also available if you want to add a little extra beauty to the plate. 

Not only can these plates be used while cutting the cake, but they also make for wonderful photo props! You can even cherish these lovely keepsakes long after the wedding by pulling them out for anniversaries and other special celebrations. Paloma's Nest also suggests using the plates as decorative armoire or wall pieces. Definitely a lot of ways to put these exquisite plates to use!
