A Splash of Pink!

After many, many months of planning (and procrastinating), The Boudoir Boutique made its debut at the PWG Bridal Show at the Buena Vista Palace in Orlando. There were times when I didn’t think everything would get done, but I have been blessed with the greatest friends in the world, and thanks to their help everything came together beautifully! We arrived bright and early (8:30am!!!) and were greeted by the wonderful staff at the hotel who helped us unload and bring everything to our booth. We started setting up and I wasn’t totally sure how everything would look, but I loved the way it turned out. We received compliments all day long from brides, but what I wasn’t expecting were the compliments from other photographers and vendors at the show. It meant a lot because this was my first show, and I didn’t know what to expect! 

The accolades: All my love and thanks to all the amazing people that helped me put this together. Without them the result would have been completely different! Yram and Meagan were with me most of the week leading up to the event and dealt with me going a little nutty, like a cashew. Yram also did the beautiful flower arrangements. He truly has a gift (which according to his mother, Mary, came from her)! He also just had knee surgery last week for a torn ACL, so he really is a trooper. His father, Edwin, was brilliant designing the structure of the booth and figuring out how all the pipes work together. Meagan had the brilliant idea to use the pink panels (of which I already owned a few). It really was a stroke of genius on her part, because that hot pink was what made the booth so awesome! In a good way, not in an oh-my-god-Pepto-Bismol-exploded-in-there kind of way! She also spent a lot of time the day of steaming them. Thank you! Joe came over the night before to help me load the car, so we drank wine and chatted instead! He was great! He also brought me breakfast and COFFEE the next day while helping us load in. So thoughtful! Brett made a beautiful slideshow of my images (in the midst of an extremely busy week at work) and also brought a gorgeous monitor to display them on. And then he surprised us all by being so good with all the visitors to the booth! We call him the dark horse. Ginette and Monique were amazing. They’re really good at talking to people and helped so much with getting everyone’s information for the prize drawing. Lorrie and Sangita also have this gift of talking to people. They’re all much better at it than I am! ;) Amy is also good at that, and she is also a social media consultant. In the past I haven’t been as good about keeping up with facebook and other online communication tools, but she is nudging me in the right direction! Please visit us on facebook!

More pictures to come as I get them. :)
