Okay, I have to admit, this is my favorite show of the season!  Don’t get me wrong, I love all the bridal  shows, since I get to reconnect with my favorite vendors and meet wonderful brides-to-be.  But, the “beach club show” is just so much fun, because I have the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with phenomenal vendors to create a styled room to inspire brides!  This year, I was so happy to be back with Cynthia from Flower Follies!

Now, some of you know that I met Cynthia 10 years ago when I was planning my wedding…and she did my flowers!!! She is one of the sweetest gals on the planet, not to mention, she is just so freakin’ talented. Her “small shop” mentality means that each bride gets the PERFECT flowers and design for their big day. She loves vintage, feathers and rhinestones…likes to use unexpected flowers in amazing ways…and really, you can identify her work anywhere!

I love that she asked for me to be in her room this year and that we got to design a perfectly modern, nautical theme! We wanted the look to be clean and crisp – mostly white with pops of yellow and unexpected punches of cobalt blue. K&B Bridal was added to our room and came in with the great idea of incorporating the grey chevron print into the design and I just LOVE how it completed the design perfectly.

Hope you enjoy all of these photos from the day. Please note that the majority of these photos are from my phone camera…so not professional (unless noted). But,Kimberly Brooke Photography took lots of pro pics…and so did Mark from Hamilton Photography. Hope to share those too soon!!!

I think the best feeling of the day was watching so many brides take pictures of the table and of course, those adorable hanging mason jars with pinwheels!!! Thanks to all who came, saw and loved!!
