Washington Wedding Show Update

The Washington Wedding Show was a fabulous time. We had a beautiful booth full of gorgeous flowers. Our bridal bouquets were featured in the fashion show and were a bit hit. Brides came anywhere from West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia--even Georgia.

The wedding vendors were top notch and made the professional success of this show overwhelming. I was looking over the timing of the upcoming weddings of the brides who attended the show and they were ranging from November, 2008 to undecided. Most of the couples have dates in 2009. My question is has the state of the economy kept brides from making decisions until closer to their wedding date? Are the shows on television hurting brides by showing the platinum weddings? This sometimes put the brides at a disadvantage to get the world on a dime. I know that as a floral designer for over 20 years, I want to give the best I can for the money each bride has to spend in her budget. I do think that the television has made it harder to brides by showing these luxurious weddings that aren't exactly able to fit the average bride's budget.

In order to give bride's a better way of budgeting for their special day, Bergeron's has a wedding floral calculator that helps them put together what will be needed for their wedding. Check out our event website and you can download onto your computer and get a budget for yourself. Our event website is bergeronsevents.com.
