First Harrogate, now Chicago! I, of course, intend to show you all that went on at the Sassi Holford, Sarah Arnett, and Filippa Scott booths in Chicago (as well as a peek at the collections). However, before the glamour and excitement of bridal market, there is the the set-up. So, for today, I give you a peek behind the scenes at Atlantic Bridal’s pre-show at Chicago Bridal Market.
Chicago Bridal Market is one of the bi-annual bridal shows in the United States in which Sarah Arnett, Sassi Holford, and Filippa Scott show their designs to US boutiques. Of course, as fate would have it, this year both markets are within two weeks of each other, with Harrogate only a few weeks prior in September! You can imagine how much hustle and bustle goes on to organize for our transatlantic journey (or trans-country, in our US representative Wendy’s case). We could never do it without Lucy, our lovely Office Manager:
Wendy sent all our banners for our display from her home in California:
Once we finally arrived in Chicago, tired and in dire need of a cocktail, we were delighted to discover our gorgeous rooms in Chicago had everything we needed, including a thoughtful mini bar! Even a painted chandelier, just like Filippa’s Harrogate market booth. Perhaps this is where she got the idea?! Decide for yourself (image of our Harrogate booth here).
After a pleasant night’s rest, we were ready to begin unpacking and setting up our booth…
Filippa’s shoe display was a bit tricky…
and, of course, meeting our lovely models…
At last, we had everything set up. Check back later today to see our lovely display at Chicago Bridal Market 2010!
