Monday à la Mode {Bridal Shows}

It has been a crazy couple weeks full of wedding shows for Scenemakers. We were able to fit two in this year: one at the Salt Palace, and one at the Grand America. It is such a fun experience to see the latest and greatest trends in the wedding industry and get a little networking in. The inspiration for our booth started with the 2012 Pantone color of the year, softened down from a brighter orange-y color to a glamorous peach. We had some eight foot tall canvas panels that we had painted in an even lighter shade, which we hung our signage and several pictures on. Our display was a head table with a low trough of garden roses, orchids, kale, hypericum berries, dianthus…. as well as a few bridal bouquets. For a big wow piece under our sign, we had large white calla lilies in a pond bowl with floating candles. It turned out beautifully – in my opinion!

I can say with certainty that the most popular booths at the shows were the photo booth vendors. It seems to be the trending wedding-must-have.

Photobooths are doing nothing but growing in popularity. One article I just read mentioned that, with changing trends in weddings, most rentals are down, however, photobooth rentals were way up so far in 2011. Although I have never worked with this company, and they are in a different city, I adore what they do. Smilebooth is a photobooth rental out of Los Angeles that I am fairly obsessed with. They are ultra hip and have their business dialed to a T. Check out what they do, because they do travel!
