Today was our final January Bridal Show. Yeah! It was held at the Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield, IL. Promoters (Midwest Family Broadcasting) claims that 400 brides came through the doors today.

Much smaller area to work with as we only had one booth space at this show. We tried to utilize a bit of uplighting behind some sheers and brought a couple of speakers in to have a visual reminder for the potential clients that we do DJ also. :sqwink:

Here's a couple of quick pics of the booth. One with the lights up and one when they dimmed the lights for the fashion show.

Critique away! :sqembarrassed:

I must say Practice makes perfect Kirby and it looks better and better each time. Looks as though quite a challenge to squeeze into the space given. Sort of like trying to fit into the cubicle in the mens restroom at Nandos Chicken while having coffee with Johnny K aka da Vinyl Spinner.

Thanks, Jon. I was feeling like it was a bit cluttered.. By backing that table up we had quite a large area to invite potential clients in to sign up for our drawing (1 hour free massage) and to give 'em our sales pitch.. :D

I'm thinking that next year we'll have a carpet remnant cut to the size of a single booth. We're gonna start looking now and see if we can find a deal on one. It should soften up the booth's appearance, especially when we're stuck in a venue with concrete floors.

Speakers were for decoration only. They were not hooked up to anything. :D

Thanks for that little suggestion....I'll be in an armory this coming February and it's all concrete or wood flooring. A nice carpet remnant would soften it up a bit.

I should have plenty more room at this one since it looks like the number of vendors is going to be down and there's more room...just not as nice a building as the first show.

Great look on the booth! Love the blue.
 
Thanks Randy.. :)

We saw a couple vendors with carpet and thought....why not?

Also Coreen and I thought it would be nice to wrap the picture easel legs in some kind of white semi-transparent material and slap a small led light underneath with a bit of color....Dunno, might work...or not? :D

What the heck is a Chiropractor doing at a Bridal show ( next booth over)? Nice setup BTW

Thanks....Chiropractor has some weight loss program that he was promoting (branching out, I guess), they had a lot of traffic at their booth. I guess it would appeal to the bride that just has to lose some weight to fit into their perfect wedding dress. :dontknow:

I gave his receptionist a bunch of our pens to use at their front desk.. :D
