Ft. Lauderdale May 22, 2016
What A Great Experience!
I had the opportunity to intern through longevity for this bridal show. Ft. Lauderdale gave us such a warm welcome. We had outstanding brides, amazing vendors and two days of FUN!
The Day Before Show Starts (AKA Behind the Scenes).
The day before the show starts, David Tutera’s staff meets all the interns and other students that have been chosen for the day. We get to network with the staff and find out the positions that each one will be working. After the meet and greet is over, David Tutera gives an encouraging power talk. David is a real cool guy. He has a lot of wisdom in the wedding industry.
Then it’s on to the working. The set-up begins; bottles upon bottles of nail polish base have to be filled for the Nail Polish Bar. That’s where the bride or her bridal party can make their own nail polish color. Then there is the Ring Selfie Station. That station has all kinds of cool items that you can show off your ring with and take pictures.
But the most important item of all are the VIP BAGS! Yes, those bags are the hottest items of the show. The bags have lots of goodies from different vendors and sponsors within the show.
SHOW DAY!
What makes this bridal show so different than other shows? Well, you get to Meet Preston Bailey! (He is an AWESOME GUY! ) Then you get photo opportunities with David Tutera. Who’d want to miss that?
The show is filled with so many activities and the vendors get to spend one on one time with the brides. Just to show you what’s included in the show, Here is the lineup.
