I Do Downtown, and so should you!

Today was a first for the city of Orlando and an amazing step forward for the bridal show industry in Central Florida. Downtown Orlando was host to the 1^st annual “I Do Downtown Bridal Crawl”. 9 premier downtown wedding venues partnered together to create a truly unique and modern bridal show experience for over 300 participants. Attendees started their bridal crawl journey by registering at the History Center where they received their passes to tour all the wedding venues. For $10 brides and grooms had access to sample food and beverage at each location as well as meet with floral, entertainment and décor providers in a more intimate setting than your typical bridal show in a ballroom. They were able to see examples of room set ups, touch the flowers, taste the food & cocktails and hear the music. Cold weather could not keep these excited couples away and hot toddies were ready to greet them!

Something Borrowed of course was at the host venue, the History Center, where guests sampled delights from The Coordinator and were surrounded by décor reflecting the seasons of the year.  Marc Burgess Productions provided the music for the day and Room Service Rentals supplied the comfy lounge furniture for the cocktail reception and my area.

Brides we spoke to enjoyed that this show was “hands on” and much more relaxed than the normal bridal show. They were able to learn more about vendor services and book appointments for the coming weeks without feeling rushed to visit hundreds of tables. Congratulations to the ladies of History Center for thinking out of the box and starting a new downtown trend! Cheers!
