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.

 

Thanksgiving Centerpiece Floral Class

Our floral class on November 21st was a blast! The ladies did an amazing job on their arrangements and learned lots of tips on the basics of flower arranging. We used a pumpkin basket as the vase, and we filled it with fall colored blooms and feathers. We even did a quick "Bow Making: 101" class to learn how to make bows for the sides of the pumpkin basket. The finished product was beautiful! Can't wait until next month when we do the Holiday Evergreen Centerpiece floral class!
