First Bridal Show


Hi!!!! I am so pleased to be able to do this post. Sunday, I was able to experience my first "real" event for Young Designs, the 2010 Arkansas Democrat Gazette Bridal Show in Little Rock. I was honored that Young Designs was one of the 200 vendors that participated this year.

In November, when I decided to launch Young Designs, I realized the bridal show would be an excellent opportunity for me to get my name and new business out there. Around 11 am on Sunday, I was standing in my booth and stopped for a second to realize this: in two months, I had accomplished the above picture. Honestly, at that moment, I was completely content, blessed, and so appreciative to everyone and everything that has gotten me to this point, that I didn't even care if a single person came by our booth, I was there.


Luckily, people did stop by, including many familiar faces that I had seen recently and hadn't seen in years! It was so much fun meeting with all of the brides, their grooms, mothers, friends, etc. I was pleased that we were able to book consultations with a few 2010 Brides! YAY! I really am thrilled to be able to do what I love! Here are a few pictures from the bridal show. I LOVE feedback so let me know the designs you love/hate/etc. and feel free to leave a comment below!

More fun pictures....

The water and brownies were a big hit too!!!
And here's one for comic relief: The Young Designs Floral team for the 2010 show : ) (including me, not pictured). I absolutely love these three and wouldn't have been able to pull off flying back from New Orleans Saturday morning, and having the booth ready for the crowd at 12:30 on Sunday without my parents, and aunt Becki! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!And my helpers during the show! (Side note: my Dad informed me that if I needed anything during the show, he would be on the golf course and would not have his phone, BUT he would be there to help load out at 5:30! Love him and was SO glad the load out was after his "group" finished on the golf course).
Well folks....That's a wrap on this years bridal show!!!!.....
