I love, LOVE, speaking at workshops. I’ve been so fortunate to have been invited to work with photographers and vendors from Orlando to Las Vegas and even Australia! But this workshop was something totally different…. The Dairing Bride Academy is an amazing day that different wedding-related vendors talk to brides who are beginning their planning for their wedding! Regardless of what stage they were at, the vendors could provide valuable insight about contracts, creative ideas, and more! Breakout sessions were definitely the most fun! Lauren planned for the brides to set up a series of reception tables, and I planned a pinterest challenge were they had to put together a pinterest board and edit down their ideas, avoiding the dreaded “whammy” cards (pins photographers never want to see!)
They also brought in a morning Yoga class and some fabulous treats from Onli Beverages and lots more! For a full list of vendors, see below :)
Special thanks to The Alfond Inn, Winter Park for hosting this fabulous event!
