The University of Bridal with David Tutera

This weekend I had the pleasure to attend the Univeristy of Bridal at the Cleveland Marriott at Key Center, which was put on by David Tutera and Catan Fashions. I attended six seminars throughout the day on topics covering floral design, party decor, wine favors, lighting and event rentals. They all shared creative ideas for decor and provided information to brides about what to expect when meeting and booking with them.

 

 

 

The main ballroom, where David was speaking, had additional tables and decor set up around the room, all of which different local vendors created. Every table was different and fully set up for an event; menu cards, place cards, centerpieces, napkins, chargers, chair/chair cover, candles, linens....

 

I heard David Tutera do two Q&A sessions with brides, which was invaluable! He shared so many creative ideas and tips, I was a sponge just trying to soak up everything! The finale of the day was a fashion show by Catan Fashions, and all the dresses were from the David Tutera for Faviana line. To cap off the wonderful day, David signed my book and I got a photo with him.

 

Event Planners Reception @ Marriott Key Center

Last night I had the pleasure of attending an event planner's reception at the Marriott Key Center in downtown Cleveland. It was absolutely stunning! The newly remodeled ballroom was set up with the newest and trendiest decor, the food samples were phenomenal, and I had the opportunity to meet some really great people in the event industry. Thanks to those of you whom I had the pleasure to meet, and especially to Shannon Harris for putting on the fabulous event. See some of the photos below!
