All Dressed Up


The Bloomington Bridal Show was on Sunday, February 10th this year and once again all of the local wedding vendors put on their best show to entice, inspire and impress potential clients for the 2008 Wedding Season!

This was the sixth year in a row for social butterfly to make an appearance at the show! In years past we have prided ourselves on creating a booth that showcases the design capabilities we offer as well as the current trends for the upcoming season. This year was no exception. We developed our theme around the colors butter, platinum and coal. (Yellow is one of the hottest colors for the coming season!) In keeping with our style as a firm these colors were used to create a beautiful, feminine yet strong, fashion-inspired booth which was full of approachable detail and lots of blingy "icing."

Some of the details we included were: velvet-trimmed personal menu cards, place cards, a candy bar for favors with yellow, white and black candies, square-knot chair ties with tulips tucked inside wrapped around the Chivari Chairs, yellow carnation pomanders, welcome gift boxes and a coordinating cake. The three linens used for the table included a very luxurious platinum pintuck, and black damask cloth. The pintuck was pinned in place to resemble a fashion-inspired "bubble hem."

We hope that you can take away one idea or bit of inspiration from the booth that we created...or feel free to make an appointment to visit us in the studio!
