Jonathan and I were approached last fall by Laura Cassidy, the editor for Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom, to be interviewed for a feature they include in every issue. (Thank you Laura, we’re so honored to have been included!) The feature is a profile of a few different wedding vendors and what they want brides to know. We are in great company as the feature also includes interviews with Christy from Junebug Weddings, Emerson Robbins, Dani Weiss, and Lisa Holdroyd of La Belle Elaine’s Bridal.

The winter issue of Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom is on newsstands now – go pick one up! Photos in the spread were taken by Richard Darbonne.

This photo is a behind-the-scenes preview of what I will be posting about tomorrow…

As promised, here are some photos of our booth from this past weekend at the Seattle Wedding Show.

Setup is always interesting, although I have to say that we have done it enough now that it’s pretty straightforward.

from top, left to right: our car, fully loaded (yes, we can fit everything in our honda!) | the mess otherwise known as the beginning of setup | still a mess | getting our framed invites ready to hang | choosing invitations to display | me, still smiling | the booth, nice and tidy, at the end of day one

The finished booth!

We were next to the lovely ladies of Marrylicious this year and were across the aisle from Foodz catering (who were serving delicious little tidbits – roasted grapes and brie on toast). We had a great time and were in great company. Thanks again to all that stopped by the booth!

We are back from the Seattle Wedding Show – I’m catching up on some emails and will post photos from the weekend in the next few hours. Stay tuned!!

We always have a great time at the show and thoroughly enjoy catching up with others in the industry. Our favorite part, though, is always meeting brides and grooms (and moms, maids of honor, etc…) and discussing their plans for their upcoming wedding. There’s an excitement in the air that we just love. A huge thank you to all that stopped by our booth – it was a pleasure meeting you!

(As a side note, Jonathan and I are ridiculously proud of the fact that we packed up our booth display and were in our car, on our way home within 40 minutes. Anyone who has ever participated in a trade show – especially one with only one freight elevator – will be impressed by that feat. After five shows, we finally learned: invest in your own hand truck! It’s the best purchase we’ve ever made!!)

Once again, it’s almost time for the Seattle Wedding Show. Join us at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center (we’re in booth #1428) January 3rd and 4th, 2009 and see in person some of our favorite projects from this past year.

We can’t wait to meet you!
