Hey everyone- thanks so much for all the emails about my bridal expo. I really had fun doing it and thought about doing it again because I loved the reaction to my work and display, but I am booked for this year and have several booked for next year, so I think I will just let wom go around.

Like I said, I LOVED the day- it was great. Too many brides though and so many vendors so little time.

Is that real brick? Answer: Nope. They are the faux brick panels you can find at Home Depot or Lowes. They are 4x8 feet. I didn't like the red color (didn't go with my overall vision or "brand" and so I painted the red parts to be a more nuetral and brown.)

Yes, I had a frame built to attach the panels to them. My FIL is a super duper handy man and he built it for me.

The side shelves are actually from Ikea and we cut them to fit in like they were built ins.

That is crown moulding on the top as well as baseboards along the bottom.

I used an area rug that fit nicely within my booth to add some warmth and I had lights mountain to shine on the images.

The brown things on the bottom of the shelf are actually my marketing pieces- 5x7 brown metallic envelopes that contained a business card, a 5x7 double sided press printed card with an image on one side and info on the other. And a 4x5 press printed card with an image and a special - (they get the show- it DVD at no charge if they mention the card )

Some of the images were on canvas- some were just mounted prints that I then attached a 4 inch deep piece of foam to the back to make them stick out from the wall.

I think that is all the questions asked. Sorry I couldn't email each of you seperately, but I am packing to leave for an engagement session in San Diego I just LOVE the beach!

Tawyna,

I'm excited to see kelli's pictures:)

Bridal Expo

LOL @ the BOOB Table!! I think it is hilarious that there are plastic surgeons at a bridal show.... I have never seen that here in Canada! Too funny

It was the best thing- kept me entertained all day

so did you get a good response from the show? i have heard good and bad about the Bridal Fashion Debut.

Tawnya is a sweetheart... thank you thank you thank you.
It would be cool to see if anyone else maes one like this and what their version looks like etc.
Thank you again!

I would say yes- and no... I am not sure.

I booked two that day and then about 7 or 8 since then...so a total of 9. But I am not sure what is average. One or two of those that did book weren't at the show, but when they googled photographers, the shows website came up and I paid extra for a listing there.

It was fun more than anything, but that is because I could use my creativeness with setting up the booth.
