Weddings Week

Welcome to day 3 of Weddings Week 2010! Today is the last day at the Stueckle Sky Center, and is also the day to vote for your favorite Artfully Designed table challenge, so come on down! Will your favorite table be Bohemian? Tropical? Shabby Chic? Modern Glitz? Do tell us tonight!

Another reason not to miss out on the festivities tonight: Our new friend, Randy Fenoli will be making an appearance at our second Fashion Show! So brides, let’s pack the house and show Randy a warm Boise welcome!

- Happy Planning!

Well Brides, we had a fantastic first night of Boise’s most unique Bridal Show to date. The Decor was perfect, and there were so many Artfully Designed tables scattered on each floor that brides were happily snapping picture after picture.

Fantastic food was provided by the Stueckle Sky Center, Macaroni Grill, and D’Arcy’s Catering- and trust us vendors, we were happily lining up for seconds too.

And as promised, here are some more of our fabulous sponsors making this week possible:

Team Casino

The team at Team Casino will be providing all the good times for our Paparazzi Night at the Linen Building. All the gaming tables, Pit Bosses (we said this was the real thing, right??), and Dealers are provided through Team Casino as well.

Bliss Events

Bliss provided all the decor for the 4th floor of the show: the white lanterns, sheer wall to ceiling fabric, and more. If you haven’t made it down yet, you’re in for a sweet surprise when you see how pretty the 4th floor is! This is definitely not your ordinary bridal “Trade” show!

Significant Moments

Significant Moments provided the beautiful decor for the 6th floor- beautifully designed panels to hang in front of the floor to ceiling windows and more.

Rocky Mountain AV

We can’t thank these lighting guys enough. They will be providing all the draping for our gown sale on Thursday, plus all the beautiful lighting and AV needs for Randy Fenoli’s private reception.

Soiree

Ok we’re not trying to toot any horns here, but we’re in the mix a little too. Brandi will be presenting Randy Fenoli on Thursday (so do come down and say hi!!), and we’ll also be spicing up the reception room in terms of decor too. A special thanks to Leslie with Incredible Edibles for all their help in making the private reception a reality too. We’ve also had an amazing time working behind the scenes with the Weddings Week Gals to help make the show a reality. Thanks girls for letting us join in on the fun!

Bridal Couture & SC Bridal

These two fabulous bridal shops are providing all of the fashions for each of our Runway Fashion Shows (a different one each night!). From Mother of the Bride gowns presented last night, to many more exciting fashions to come, including Bridesmaids dresses, Destination & Beach Bridal attire, and more.

Mr. Formal

Tonight we’ll showcase guy-friendly attire to make sure your man looks just smashing on your Wedding Day. Many thanks to Mr. Formal for providing all the tuxes and suits.

Tates Tents & Events

Finally, last but definitely not least, we wouldn’t be where we are today without these guys. Not only did they help us map out the layout for the Stueckle, but are providing all the tables, chairs, and everything else us vendors could possibly need to pull off a great show. Thanks Tates!

And there you have it: two very full posts to show all of our amazing sponsors the love they deserve. Of course, this doesn’t include all of our Swag Bag sponsors- that’s for another post after Wednesday so we don’t give all the surprises away! We hope you’re enjoying the show so far, and we’ll see you tonight!

- Happy Planning!

We heart our Sponsors this year. We mean, really love them. They’ve showered us with fantastic prizes that admittedly make us jealous that you will receive them and not us. It’s ok though- we imagine a room full of perfectly pampered, happy brides is most likely a really good thing. So just to make sure you’re as excited as we are for what’s in store, a quick shout out to our sponsors for Weddings Week 2010:

Floating Feather Day Spa

Floating feather is known for its supreme treatments, relaxing environment, and overall pampering. Bring your bridal party and we promise you won’t be disappointed with a spa treatment provided by Floating Feather. What other bridal show have you been to that makes such lofty promises?

Penny Sheldon Travel

Penny has long been a fantastic sponsor for A Bridal Extravaganza, but this time she comes with even more. How many of you are still planning your honeymoon? Stuck as to which avenue (or ahem, ocean) to take? Worried about your options for payments and budget? Well have we got the show for you then. Not only will Penny Sheldon Travel be gifting, they’ll be educating too. How savvy is that?

The Stueckle Sky Center

We wouldn’t forget to include our very own Stueckle Sky Center…after all, this is the hub of the show. For days 1-3 it will house 3 amazing floors full of eye candy, inspiration, and the best vendors Treasure Valley has to offer. Oh and did we mention there would be a bar on each floor?

The Grove Hotel

We heart the Grove Hotel for many reasons. For one, the Grove will be creating a beautiful setting for our Gown Sale on Thursday in their Grand Ballroom. What does this mean for brides? Oh only that our two bridal salon sponsors will be able to bring in hundreds of dresses. Just imagine not having to go to several places to find the gown of your dreams??

The Grove Hotel will also be providing amazing accommodations to our featured guest of the week, Randy Fenoli. Many thanks, Grove Hotel!

The Linen Building

Last but definitely not least, many kudos to The Linen Building. When faced with finding a venue that would be swanky enough to hold a Casino Night filled with paparazzi, we didn’t have to look any further than the Linen District. Already full of urban, mod decor, we knew it was the perfect spot. Ladies (and Gents) we can’t wait for you to walk Boise’s red carpet next Friday and spend an evening in one of Boise truly unique venues. Delicious hors d’oeuvres provided by the Linen Building, bar provided by The Modern Hotel, Gaming tables provided by Team Casino (more on this fantastic sponsor tomorrow), and the opportunity to choose what you want to win from many of Treasure Valley’s vendors are just the beginning of what this night has in store.

We have so many more sponsors making this week happen, stay tuned tomorrow to learn more about them. And with that we ask you…have you signed up yet?

-Happy Planning!

We’ve had a such a great response to the show so far that we’re really in the giving mood. Not to mention, we are so excited about Bridal Fashion master Randy Fenoli coming to Boise, Idaho that we really want to make sure you don’t miss out on the opportunity.

With that said, if you were still deciding whether you were going to purchase your all access pass or not, now we’re making it easier than ever to make the decision…we’ve discounted our ticket prices and made them even more enticing.

Here’s what’s new on the Weddings Week horizon:

All Access Passes now include the Randy Fenoli private reception plus a pass for a guest (because who wants to go alone??) .This pass of course includes the entire week of festivities perfect for the pampered bride.

For those that decide that the All Access Pass is just not for them, but an evening with and a presentation by Randy Fenoli is, your ticket has also been discounted.

So there, no excuses…what are you waiting for?For more information and to register visit weddingsweek.com

Happy Planning!

We’re all about bringing the best of the best to the show, so we knew we couldn’t stop there. After all, when we say it’s Boise’s most unique show ever, we’re not kidding. So enter the Swag Bags!

We’ve scoured the Treasure Valley for Super Sponsors to contribute to the bags….and beginning Monday the 8th we’ll be passing them out to all of our VIB’s.

Gift certificates, prizes, and coupons to use with various vendors are just some of the sponsored items included in the bags. We can’t give away all the surprises now, so you’ll want to grab your All Access Pass to get the goodies!

- Happy Planning!

We know there are a lot of questions- after all, Boise hasn’t ever seen an event like this: 5 days? 3 locations? We’ll break it all down for you:

For The Brides: Weddings Week is so unique because it won’t be like any other bridal trade show you’ve ever been to. For starters, all of the vendors have been hand-picked and invited to the show. The fashion shows are nothing like you’ve ever seen either- each night is not only a different line of fashions, but also a different style. Mother of the Bride’s apparel, Destination Wedding styles, to traditional bridal party and wedding attire. We know you’ll get so much out of this show, much more beyond just a few references for stellar vendors. Events will be held at the Stueckle Sky Center, The Grove Hotel, and The Linen Building- allowing you to see 3 of Boise’s most unique venues all in one week. And what other show has designed tables throughout with the only purpose to serve as eye candy inspiration for your wedding?

For the Grooms: We know this is probably not your cup of tea…maybe you were looking forward to the cake tasting and picking out ties for your guys only. But we wouldn’t want you to miss out on events like major honeymoon giveaways and goodies from our sponsor Penny Sheldon Travel. Or the fashion show dedicated partly all to you- see apparel options ranging from traditional to Island-style fashion. Or Casino Night at the Linen Building on Friday- gaming tables, TONS of chances to win, and you’ll even get to choose which vendors you want to win stuff from. Plus it will be a great Date Night for you and your fiance…isn’t love grand??

Very Important Brides (VIB’s): By buying an All Access Pass, you become a VIB in our eyes. Not that every bride isn’t special to us, we just have reserved some extra special things for you, our very important bride. Your All Access Pass will get you in to all 5 events, with each night being a different theme. Your ticket automatically gets you in to our sponsored services on each night, such as spa treatments from Floating Feather Day Spa. VIB’s will also receive a swag bag full of goodies…and if you see other brides walking around with them, you’ll know they’re all part of the VIB club because only VIBs will get them. Are you ready to be pampered??

Gown Sale and Private Reception With Randy Fenoli: On Thursday, our events will be held at The Grove Hotel. The gown sale will begin at 10a and feature two of Boise’s most elite Bridal Salons, complete with consultants to help you find the perfect dress. Throughout days 1-3, you’ll have already had a chance to look through some of the salon’s dress collections to make a few selections to try on Thursday. The sale will go on all day, so you’ll have plenty of time to decide!

For our VIB’s that have elected to spend some time with TLC’s Randy Fenoli, you’ll have a chance to steal away from the gown sale to sit and mingle with the fashion guy himself. Randy will be presenting on topics ranging from current runway styles, what looks best on which body types, 2010 color trends, and we’re sure there will be a sprinkling of Randy’s humor in there too. Then we’ll open the rest of the session up to mingling, light snacks, and beverages of choice. Randy will be making his way through the room to meet each and every bride, allowing for questions, etc. And we’re already so giddy about just talking to him that we know you’ll be ecstatic to meet him in person.

What else are you wanting to know about this fabulous event? Do let us know, and we’ll answer it here!
