I usually participate in 2 wedding shows per year. This photo is from the Premier Wedding Show at Arden Hills. By the time brides arrive, they see 2 wedding planners (myself & my assistant, Nicole) very put together - prim and proper even! What they didn't see was the 3 hours before the show began. We had to unload and carry everything in that we used for decor; we then had to assemble everything, from the chuppah to the decor. This involved a lot of climbing on a ladder, crawling around on the floor and lifting - all while in full makeup and trying not to sweat!
The silver structure holding those beautiful flowers is something I dreamed up and my wonderful hubby brought to life - not without some complaing though! Finally, it was time for the brides to arrive. Nicole & I had changed clothes, touched up our makeup and were ready to go! But wait - how about making sure our breath is fresh?!?!?! I grab my handy tool box, pull out some new mints and pop 2 in my mouth. Fire. Way too much pepermint going on here! As a result, Nicole spoke to our first few brides alone while I choked those mints down. I'm sure I had super-fresh breath though! We met so many amazing, creative brides at the show, it really was a lot of fun. Two days after the show, I noticed that my legs were hurting; I looked down and couldn't believe how many bruises I had! Wedding planning is dangerous work - but it's the best!
