Our BEST Expo Booth yet!

Every January the Outer Banks Wedding Association hosts it's annual Wedding Weekend and Expo event which is attended by over 1200 people! Over the years we've noticed that vendors are creating bigger and better booths and we were pretty much doing the same old thing - pictures, packets, books, giveaways. This year we decided to change the game and do something different - and much more eye-catching! We met with Renee Landry to get a design vision for our booth and she showed us these cool wood walls from Anthropolgie...we knew immediately that they were the attention-getter we were looking for! Lots and lots of late nights, pizzas, and glue-covered fingers later we had these 4 beautiful wall panels! In addition to the wood walls, we also used a navy blue sequin linen from La Tavola, put down a faux hardwood flooring for our booth area, borrowed some beautiful furniture pieces from Ambrose Furniture (the Burlap cubes & Printed arm chairs) and featured a white hydrangea arrangement in a rope vase from Renee Landry. We all LOVED the booth this year and hope you do too! Now what will we do for 2015 to top this?!

Happy Planning!

Outer Banks Wedding Association Wedding Weekend & Expo ~ January 18th and 19th, 2014

 Stunning arm chairs from Ambrose Furniture!


Another cool thing we did this year? We went green by putting our wedding info on USB Drives instead of printing 100s of paper copies! Each of our packets is 20+ pages so it adds up quickly! 

PS - We added an extra booth space on this year and created the "Man Cave" for the grooms and dads to hang out in! We offered a putting contest, golf giveaways, a comfy chair and even complimentary drinks!
