Tampa Bridal Showcase- Recap

elaneventstudio — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:54:08 +0000

On September 18th Elan Event Studio hosted our 6th annual Tampa Bridal Showcase. This years event was held at the beautiful A La Carte Event Pavilion. We had the very best vendors in the Tampa Bay area as well as the best brides in attendance. With the help of our event sponsors and all the great vendors the event was a success.
The theme for this years showcase was Glam with black and hot pink mixed with a touch of vintage. Brides and their guests entered into the grand hall staged as a ‘cocktail hour’. Connie Duglin Linen provided the black eyelash pintuck and flamingo lamour table linens. The main ballroom featured over 60 vendors, a LED dance floor provided by Inspire Entertainment, an aerial performance by Breezin Entertainment, vintage lounge area by MMD Events, a first dance performance by Arthur Murray Dance Studio, beautiful black chaivari chairs by Signature Event Rentals and a collaborative fashion show by The White Closet Company, Bella Gente, Stella & Dot, Athena Montague Artistry and Darcy Greco. Tammy Levent of Elite Travel took the stage to announce the winning couple of the grand honeymoon prize winner. The winner received an all-inclusive trip to Rivera Dreams in Cancun.

Tampa Bridal Showcase Part 2: Decor

elaneventstudio — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 15:08:31 +0000

This year we wanted the brides-to-be to see the décor of a real wedding to get everyone in the mood and excited about their big day! We wanted to go with an all white theme with a bit of a twist (notice the Oriental and bird influences). The end result was truly magical. MMD Events did such a great job helping to mold our vision and bring it to life.

As brides entered they walked into our “cocktail hour.” We had music going, food to feed the hungry “guests” and high-boy tables with ice-blue linen and orchids for a place to set their plates. Outside, you could see the ceremony setup with the white draping, white paper lanterns and mahogany chivari chairs. As guests entered the main ballroom, the “reception” was in full swing. The DJ was playing some hit music, the room was uplighted, the tables were set, and the cupcake cake was set-up right next to the draped-off white dance floor with the bird gobo and origami crane chandelier.

Take a look at these décor photos (keep in mind, these were taken by us and not a professional! Check out the end of this post for a place to see the some pro shots), and don’t forget to come and check out our next show to see what we come with for that one!

Every year we are honored to produce and coordinate one of Tampa’s premier Bridal Show Events- The Tampa Bridal Showcase. We just finished our 4^th Annual Fall Showcase and it couldn’t have gone any better!

The show was November 1 at the Intercontinental Hotel. We had over 200 brides-to-be come and view the new products and services that Tampa’s best wedding professionals had to offer. The brides (and some grooms!) got to sample tasty food, drink some wine, listen to great music, view stunning decor, win amazing prizes and just have fun and enjoy the planning process! We even gave away a dream honeymoon to a lucky couple!
