We Love You Too!

Thanks for such a great day at the Doubletree in Chesterfield yesterday for the St. Louis Best Bridal Show! We met so many of you (SO SO SO MANY.......) and had a really great time talking about your wedding days! The best part is that we will have the opportunity to sit down and get to know many of you better in the coming weeks 'out' of the crazy atmosphere of the booth.

As most brides and wedding vendors around the St. Louis area know, we are coming into Wedding Show Season, and the bottom line for BBP anyway is by the time we get to the end of August not only will we be tired and talked out but 2008 for the most part will be booked for weddings. The brides will be tired as well but will have had a great time finding out exactly what details they want included for their once in a lifetime events. It is hard work isn't it brides!

The funniest story from the show yesterday was the elderly man walking the show with one of those large paper handled bags from one of the tuxedo vendors, he went up to every single booth and if they were giving it away---- he was taking it. From the kisses and mints on our tables to the pens, or balloons, or paper fans or even catalogs, he took it all. Then he made a second (and sometimes third) sweep of the room and got MORE. The gentleman had to have been 80, I'm pretty sure he wasn't getting married and he wasn't obviously with anyone there. He was cute and from what we could see everyone left him to his own devices. He should have enough chocolate to last him for the week at the very least.
