Great Bridal Expo was wonderful!

Sunday was the Great Bridal Expo in Denver.  We arrived early as we needed to have the girls, Sarah and Lydia there at 8am....it was nice to be able to drink in everything quietly before all the noise and exhibitors hit.  We put our booth together, took to much stuff but if we hadn't had it, we would of needed it, so better to have it and not use it. It took us a little over an hour to get everything together.....it was funny, we were done and relaxing while everyone else was frantically trying to get it together.  We walked around.....found a Starbucks and a quiet spot to sit.....to gather our thoughts for the day.....we changed into our clothes and as we walked out we heard comments on our matching outfits...we had bought teal skirts, white blouses and lavender jackets.....as purple and teal are our business colors...we had our logo embroidered on our jacket lapel.....really nice.....I will post pictures later.  We spoke with 118 brides but there were over 300 registered...it was amazing to see that many people in one place. It was a fun day.  Since it was our first trade show so we had no idea on what to expect.....the booth next to us.....they were from New Mexico and had done trade shows before and they said it was a good turn out.....so we feel like it will be good for us.....what we did expect was for the brides to place orders with us but we were wrong.....so no orders but we did get some leads.....which is good.....most of the girls are at least a year away from their weddings.....only 3 were having it within the next 2 months.....all in all it was AMAZING! When we got to our room that night we both looked at each other and started laughing as we both looked frazzled.....we were tired but not sleepy.....so we went and ate and then came back to the room and sat at our computers and decided how we were going to proceed.  So please go to our website.....heartinhandcards.com and check us out.....we hope to hear from you soon!
