Ok, I hope I added the pictures to the bottom of this correctly.
I did my first Bridal Expo on Sunday. Thanks to all of you who gave me advice. I have pictures of my booth on my phone, but for some reason, can't add them right now.
Ok, I did my booth (which was only a 6 ft. table) in a fall theme. They provided a white linen tablecloth, and I added 2 cranberry colored, twin-sized flat sheets draped over the sides. On one side, I did things that were more suited for cooking and on the other end, I did a baking section. I used my cooling rack for height on the baking side and the trifle box hidden under the tablecloth on the other.
I had printed off the flyers for Bridal Showers and Wedding Registry from this site and bought two of those plastic picture frames that sit up. I slid the flyers in them and sat them on the table...worked out great!
I decorated the booth with mini pumpkins, fall silk leaves and Hershey kisses, Reeses, and Miniatures that were wrapped in Fall Colors. In the middle of the table, I elevated my trifle bowl and used it for the Brides to put their door prize slips in. It made a pretty centerpiece. I tied a pretty bow around the stem of the trifle bowl. The bow was cranberry, hunter, and orange plaid (which tied in all of the colors on my table). In the front, I had door prize slips for the bride to fill out and some for the other guests. I had my SA caddy in front with pens in it. For the record, it does no good to diffretiate door prize slips. People were just grabbing whatever, regardless of their nuptial status ! Lesson learned for next time: ONE door prize slip fits all.
I'm not a decorator by any stretch of the imagination, but I think my booth was cute. I had several people come over and say it was very warm and inviting.
Even though it was a small expo, I managed to get 1 registry on the spot, 12 interested in a registry, 2 shows booked for November, 8 people wanting me to call them to book a show, and 5 people interested in becoming consultants. So, all in all, I am pretty happy.
Have a blessed day,
Kelly H.
