Once again we ventured out to Hy-Vee Hall for our second (ever!) bridal show. It was a great time! I enjoyed meeting a few new faces as well as seeing returning vendors from the September show. We didn’t know what to expect with the first show and so we approached this second time around a little differently. We wanted to just make sure we said hello to as many brides as possible and get our information in their hands.
Bridal shows can be chaotic, hectic and pretty overwhelming. Not the most ideal environment to book a client. So we designed our booth this year to be bigger but minimalistic. We got one of 6 premium booths that was 12 feet wide and 6 feet deep. I thought this would better allow traffic to flow into our booth and give a good surface area to display lots of larger prints. We also had a small seating area to look at albums. That was it! No obtrusive tables, no collage of prints on easels and no massive LCD TV slideshow on a constant loop. Just tangible prints at sizes no smaller than 16×20. We got some great feedback! We were also able to meet a few of our brides that have already booked us for 2010 and 2011! It was great to see everyone and we can not wait to shoot your wedding!
