Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show Booth

Yesterday was my first bridal show EVER and I'm happy to say it went great!!! I had a blast meeting a ton of brides (future La Photography brides ;))) and a lot of awesome vendors! 

I have been contemplating doing a bridal show ever since I first started La Photography. It has been a terrifying thought because it's not cheap and there are no gareentee that I will book anything. I have been waiting weddings to be my focus since the beginning but finding the right bride for me and my style is like finding a needle in a haystack! In other words, I realized there was no other way to do it! I atleast had to try it out! First thing I did was follow a group of amazing photographer on facebook. I read every post they posted. Next I called a bunch of bridal show vendors. I found Perfect Wedding Guide on google a few weeks before the show and when I called and talked to them, I just loved the way they guided me through every decision I made. I didnt feel like it was about the money and I really liked that. 

So after I took the plunge, I started researching. This was not only my first bridal show as a vendor BUT also the first I have ever been to! So after combing through my group forum, pinterest, and blogs, I knew I needed to stand out. I needed something that screamed "I am La Photography" I found this shinny black fabric on pinterest and I knew that would be my first building block. Glamour. Then I found this steel camera by chance at TJ Maxx. Industrial. After that, I had my theme. Industrial Glam. I wanted something that wouldn't overwhelm brides but invite them in. I dont think I've ever been so stressed in my life, but I think it turned out AMAZING and I think in the long run, it will pay off. 

Here's some shots from the day.....  
I found these cool spot lights at TJ Maxx. They are regularly $80.00 and I got two of them for $40.00!!! and they matched my theme PEFECTLY. How more glamorous can you get?? Add the sleek still look and I was sold!

 Everyone LOVED my wedding album from Darrin and Leigh's wedding!
 I found the template for these awesome camera shaped favor boxes on etsy.com. BRIDES LOVED THEM! If they only knew how much effort went into these! I owe my mom and her classroom so much for working on them for me! The camera shaped cookies where done by a friend from college Katie. She does AN AMAZING job and she really worked with my scatterbrain! I ordered them on sunday and they were delivered on Weds! You cant beat that! They look AND taste great! check her out here.




The infamous steel camera!
