Santa Barbara bridal expo







I just got back from the SB bridal expo and I had a great time. It was my first time exhibiting at the Earl Warren show ground and it was absolutely awesome. I met so many great vendors, and got to catch up with my favorite wedding coordinator Joy Proctor of Joy De Vivre. I tried to create a rustic elegant feel with a romantic flair for my booth. My color palette was shades of pink, ivory and hedge green. To achieve the look, I used antique white urns from a rustic garden with ivory hydrangeas, green trachylliums ( I love them, they look like mini trees!!), pink ranunculus, cymbidium orchids and my all time favorite flowers, peonies in different shades of pink. To complete the romantic effect, I incorporated antique mercury votives and milk glasses from Anthropologie. I was extremely pleased with the overall result, I just wanted to get married all over again!!!
