On Monday night, Big Apple Florist participated in The Wedding Salon’s NYC Boot Camp at Dylan’s Candy Bar. The Boot Camp offers bride’s-to-be the latest tips and trends in wedding planning, as well as access to leading industry experts and local vendors. This was achieved through Q&A sessions with representatives from various bridal industry sectors, such as music, travel planning, dress making, jewelry designing, and last but not least, floral décor. The boot camp follows the Wedding Salon’s main event in April held at The Roosevelt Hotel.
The Wedding Salon NYC Boot Camp Opens Up to Questions
At the Q&A session, brides asked questions they wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to ask unless it was during a private consultation. We were delighted to offer insight and advice to the brides who attended. Our answers to their questions seemed to calm their nerves and make them even more excited to start thinking more realistically about floral décor for their upcoming nuptials.
