Bridal Show: CBBC 2013

It's that time of year again. We dive into bridal show season to inspire brides who are usually escorted by their Moms, the grooms or FOB's (father of bride) that get dragged along and the *happy-to-see champagne* bridesmaids.  The first show of the year is held at the stunning Chesapeake Bay Beach Club on Kent Island. The vendors outdid themselves this year and we are happy to share the jaw dropping images if you missed the spectacular show.

 2 Hand Studios had a romantic sweet station on display! Love all the chalk!

Who wouldn't want to eat their wedding meal with this pair of utensils? Found at 2 Hands Studios.


 Mmmmm. More dreamy details from 2 Hands Studios.


We were a little TOO excited that Fiona's was in our room. She personally did my wedding cake 8 years ago. I indulge every year at each bridal show with a bite of my favorite flavors ~ vanilla with raspberry filling. Ah-mazing! 

A few rooms over, Elizabeth Bailey had a perfectly pink room decorated. The white flooring and wall to wall draping was stunning. 


So happy to run into Amy with Crimson and Clover!

 We also ran into Tina at Wicked Willow!

Allison Barnhill Designs and Flower Follies had the perfect palette with glitter included! What a creative and colorful display!

Francesca's Bridal had models in full force prancing around the ballroom. Each dress was more and more breathtaking.  


Our good friends over at Hamilton Photography! 

K&B Bridal had an airy, beach theme displayed.


The sweetest gals at Kimberly Brooke Photography! Very excited for some upcoming collaborations with this duo! 

Shimmery place setting from Party Rentals LTD and Little Bit Heart.

A masterpiece by Peace Of Cake!
  
Happy to run into Stacey with Perfect Wedding Guide!

 JoJo's Cupcakes and Cream had some yummy mini cupcakes on display!

Always happy to be next to our partners in crime ~ Beat 2 Beat DJs! Book both of us and you receive a $100 discount off your DJ package.

Historic Events had a lovely set-up. Guests were certainly swooning over the colors, florals and desserts!



L-R:
Karey (Historic Events), Melissa and Sarah (Intrigue Design and Decor), Ashley (UpDo's For I Do's)
 

With a princess fairytale theme, Intrigue Design and Decor really enhanced the Beach House with a variety of colors and themes!

First up, the 7 dwarfs...apples, brussels sprouts and pomegranates included!


 Next up, the Wicked Queen's quarters. Uplighting provided by Beat 2 Beat DJs. 
Fun sign by The Paper Trousseau.

 
Finally the Happily Ever After! With strands dangling from the ceiling, the visual was unforgettable. The high-top table paired with lucite chiavari bar stools, allowed for a nice contrast in levels with my favorite flowers, hydrangeas flowing all the way to the floor.

 Crystal and mirrors! LOVE!




Sadly we missed snapping shots with Natalie Franke and Amie Decker :( But happy they were there amongst other amazing vendors! 

If you made it this far, thanks for reading! Don't forget to come see us at other great shows over the next month!

Mondays with Mindy: Shows and Expos


A wedding day can take several months to years to plan. These life altering events are becoming more and more elaborate as the years pass. How does a bride (and hopefully groom too) avoid or at least lessen the stress of planning a wedding? Stay organized. Write out a check list of all the details needed for your day and stick to it. Crossing off each item one by one is not only very satisfying, but will keep you organized and less stressed.

Don’t know where to start? Bridal Shows. Bridal shows have come a long way. Since weddings have become more and more extreme, it only makes sense that bridal shows would follow in those footsteps. Bridal shows are a great tool to find amazing vendors local to your area. Not only is it a place to meet these vendors, but it’s an opportunity to see what the best of the best in the industry have to offer.  All the latest and greatest trends are laid out for the brides-to-be to see.  Even if certain vendors are crossed off your list, the expos are wonderful places to get ideas. Say you already have a photographer lined up for your wedding day. That shouldn’t stop you from seeing other photographers work. You may spot a nontraditional photo of the bridal party that sparks your imagination for your own bridal party to try out on your special day. Since most vendors bring examples and samples of their work, you will get a firsthand view of what each business can do. I am neither married nor engaged but love when I get a second to sneak away from our booth to walk around and check out the newest trends! Plus, I have two words for you…CAKE SAMPLES!

Below is a list of upcoming events where you can visit Up-Do’s For I Do’s!!

Hope to see you there!

XOXO Mindy
