Madison's Winter Bridal Show

And so it went.. this past weekend was Madison's Winter Bridal Show, produced by the Wedding Planner & Guide. Despite the Packer's Game and the spitting snow, we had a full show. Sugar shock -- the cakes.. oh my the cakes! -- and creative DJs kept the lulls lively when I wasn't wandering the aisles meeting other vendors.

Booth design was simpler, but much more accessible than last year. We took down the side rails and visitors took advantage of slipping behind us to look at the bouquets on the back wall.

{I wish fluorescent lighting was kinder -- the poor yellows look washed out
and the whites are not as pure as they should be. :( }

Our layout was anchored on the corners by either a collage of different vases and varied flowers on two cocktail tables or a pair of Grecian style craters designed as if they were planted. The delphinium in the latter pieces came in so beautifully -- it looked lovely with the Australian pine and eucalyptus.

Had the pleasure of designing two pieces for Best Western's Inn on the Park. Really enjoyed how the lavender roses played off the pink astilbe and pale leucadendron.

For those of you with the new addition of the Guide, we have a full page ad at the end of the flower section. And if you don't have the book (I'm told it's available everywhere -- venues, gown shops, florists, etc..), here's a screenshot.
