Vivid Expressions at Vow 2011!!

It was such a pleasure meeting so many simply lovely Brides & Grooms after this weekend's stunning 2011 Vow Magazine Bridal Event. The Bridal Event took place last Sunday at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. Our booth created an enchanting element (and a bit of a buzz) as vendors and visitors alike were drawn to the warm, magical pink glow of the lighting form our booth. An enormous Birdcage stood in the middle of the Vivid Expressions booth featuring a romantic sweetheart table and natural wood colored Chavari Chairs.

The soft and elegant tablescape consisted of cascading mint green fabric dancing with ribbons of pink, blue and gold. Artful glass apothecary jars showcased soft colored Calla lilies, Snapdragons, Tulips, and other delicate flowers. The most dramatic element of the tablescape design was Event Art including copper placecard holders, copper plaques, hand-sculpted clay Roses & Calla Lillies and our signature a fresh flower Sculpture of a Peacock floating near the back of the table. Nearly 100 excited couples visited our booth and signed up to visit our Event Design Studio-gallery this Saturday during our "Winter Bridal Open House".





We hope you will be able to join us for our up-coming "Winter Bridal Open House" on Saturday, February 26th, 2011 at our Event Design Studio-gallery. For more information please visit www.vividexpressions.com

Quick Highlights... VIP David Tutera Cocktail Party & Uniquely Yours Bridal Show

VIP Cocktail Party featuring David Tutera.

On Saturday, January 15th, the Uniquely Yours Bridal Showcase kicked off with a VIP Cocktail Party with Celebrity Designer, Author and Television Star David Tutera. I have to say, he was simply the most personable and gracious person. Taking the time to talk to everyone and making us all feel special.

I was honored to be part of the team of designers, florists and decorators collaborating on the design of the Cocktail party.

Here is my original design concept...

And here is the final team collaboration...

The VIP Cocktail Party was just the beginning! David Tutera was also the guest MC during the amazing Uniquely Yours Bridal Showcase the following day on Sunday, January 16th. With over 120 of the regions most in demand Professional Wedding Vendors, Vivid Expressions was in great company. Brides, Grooms and even other Vendors fell in love with our booth (#91). We created one-of-a-kind designs and Artwork not seen before in Hampton Roads and our "White Peacock" generated a tremendous amount of buzz... but more about that later.
