Should you attend a wedding show?

Weddings in Woodinville, the NW's largest boutique wine tour wedding showYou're engaged, the date is still TBD, now is the best time to attend a wedding show.  You are flexible on the details and are looking for inspiration on every aspect of your day.  Venue availability, seasonal food and coordinating colors will change with each season but at the first of the year, shows are playing up the years wedding colors and themes.  You will leave the show with a better idea of when you want your wedding to be by discussing your options with the vendors you’ve met.

A wedding show is that experience alternative to looking through endless pictures and web sites.   It is your opportunity to walk into a venue that you might be considering, see the decorations of a rental company, taste the food of a caterer and meet the people who can make your dream wedding a reality. 

Wedding shows are also an intimate way to get to know your potential vendors and give you inspiration of what trends & possibilities there are for your special day. 

Besides they are an incredibility entertaining, enjoyable and resourceful way to spend the day! 

Large wedding shows versus boutique-style?  Large wedding shows can be an overload for the senses but also have a palatable buzz of excitement in the air and are a good place to get ideas for just how many options there are out there.  Boutique shows are more intimate and you get the chance to interact with the vendors on a more personal and unrushed time frame.  

Weddings in Woodinville is the largest boutique wedding show in the Pacific Northwest featuring 7  of the top Woodinville Wine Country venues, 100 vendors, and over 20 wines.  Join us on January 27, 2012 for this chauffeured wedding wine tour.  Tickets available through Brown Paper Tickets. 

*This show has sold out every year, so we highly encourage you to purchase your tickets early.

“The intimate gathering places and beautiful natural surroundings of JM Cellars, inspires our creation of a wedding theme reminiscent of the historic Spanish settlements of California. Central to our inspiration is the importance of family and community, and the rich traditions passed down through generations. Our colors, a mixture of browns, ambers, saffron and sapphire blue, are used throughout the ceremony, and reception areas. Textiles, as well as old world glass and pottery artfully display the use of culinary herbs, vines, and olive branches. A grand communal table under a custom designed gilted chandelier, offers elegance amid the intimacy of a roving Spanish guitarist.” Melody Davis

After studying Interior Design at The Art Institute of Seattle, I decided to put my passion for design to work and that’s when All the Flutter was born. My favorite aspect of events is helping clients who are artistic and appreciate design to bring their vision to life – whether your planning your wedding or just want an excuse to throw a fabulous event each design element (lighting, floral, paper goods, props, etc.) is so important to me. As I like to say, “it’s all in the details”. I especially love working with clients who have fun with art/design and are creative, but may not have the time, ability, or overall vision to create the beautiful details that can be created for their event.
