The Special Event Show was a collage of colors, styles, characters and creative energies all bundled under one huge convention center roof! One could not help but be impressed by the vast amount of décor ideas flowing as soon as you entered the hall.

Stacks of fancy chairs were positioned like something out of Disney cartoon float with incredibly beautiful covers and sashes. Artisans displayed their eye for detail with ornately decorated table setting inspirations. Buxom beauties bared scrumptious, custom designed bon-bons for all to enjoy. Party pumping exploding confetti cannons demo’d at will. Background tapestries, linens, draping and gorgeous floral displays flowed like leaves in the wind throughout the hall.

Hundreds of vendors displayed up and coming décor and special event related trends and ideas for industry professionals to consider adding to their repertoire. Some concepts were new, cool and innovative - some were tried and true. One could search for industry insurance, talent representation or internet marketing ideas and, in the same aisle, view creative art, catering concepts and new and exciting technology. It was truly a smorgasbord for those in the special event industry.

We’ll see how many of these ideas we can bring to our San Diego wedding and special event clients!
