Northwest Trade Show

I recently had the opportunity to go to the Northwest Trade Show in Seattle. It was fun to go and see what kind of things are available to us Alaskans from out of state. Yes, the shipping can be expensive to rent even the linens from companies in the lower 48 but sometimes it is worth it. It was nice to meet some of the vendors face to face as well. Some of them seemed very eager to do business up here. Here are some of the booths that were at the show.
This one was my favorite. Aria Style made up the booth. Aria started out as a floral designer and then grew to include all elements of event decor. Everything tied together, even the pipe and drape that was behind the table set up. One thing I loved were the acrylic chairs. They really added a lot to the overall look of the decor. www.ariastyle.com is their website. This booth was fun too. The cork place holders caught my eye. What a fun addition to a Mediterranean themed event.

I have been wanting to use wheat grass in a wedding as a decorative element for awhile now. It was fun to see someone use it in their exhibit. I think a bed of grass to hold table seating cards would be fun for an outdoor wedding. This designer went with a golf theme. The center of the table is covered by a golf umbrella with beaded crystals hanging from the rim. They used golf tee's as holders for the seating cards. Fun!

This exhibit had super tall pipe and drape. The white drapey fabric hung alongside crystal garlands that were lit with spotlights that made them shimmer brightly. I love the funky chair. :)
