January Bridal Show- 1/15/2012

Fields in Bloom had a great debut public exposure event at the Lexington Bridal Show this month. We met and talked with 450-500 brides! It was so wonderful to meet so many people in the wedding industry as well as potential clients.

We saw some expected as well as unexpected trends for weddings in 2012- LOTS of purples, but also quite a bit of grey with different accent colors! We were surprised at the amount of brides planning September weddings as well as how many hadn't picked a date yet.

We offered a great promotion for registered brides- "Book by April 1st and receive your bridal bouquet free"! And we've received some great feedback on the goody bags we handed out.

I was so excited to do the arrangements for this event- when you do weddings, you obviously do what the Bride visions for her special day, with a little of your own twist added. For this event I got to do some arrangements I've been excited to try out. I did some colorful bridesmaid bouquets and then two centerpiece options that attracted completely different brides- one was really loud, fun and modern, whereas the other was more traditional and timeless. Color blocking, a current trend in the fashion and flower world, is a look I love and was so glad to incorporate. It was interesting and fun to see which bride commented on which centerpiece- as it explained a lot about their personality and what look they envision for their wedding.


So far the show has been a tremendous success. It's only been two weeks since the show and already we've received 6 contacts! We think its the start to a great 2012!
