Sure, we exhibit at the Dallas Bridal Show (bridalshowsinc.com) and carefully choose placements on the internet, but the majority of our work comes from referrals and word-of-mouth from guests who have seen us at other parties.  (That’s when you know you are doing a great job!) Our teams are outgoing, friendly and professional.  At PicFlips, we pride ourselves in a quality product and creating a fun environment for attendees. Check it out:

Want to experience the fun yourself!? You are in luck! Come see us at the end of the month at the Dallas Bridal Show, January 29-30th – 10am to 6pm each day at Dallas Market Hall. And, before I forget…Congratulations!!

Each bride had their own great ideas to make the event personal.  I loved the fact that Rikki Dea and Brad gave their last kiss as a single person to the first person who kissed them when they came into this world – their moms.  I love that Sara and Wes incorporated “Texas country chic” in a classy, beautiful way but still added personal touches to make it fun.  I love that Tanisha and Jermaine and their dance troupe from Grapevine performed a number at the reception.  I loved that Amy and Lauren picked a motif – Dripping in Diamonds – and carried it from the invitations to the place cards to the decor.

Of course, we were secretly cheering for Sara White, since she was our bride!  Sara and Wes got married at The Parson’s Table in Aledo, TX – a cute church-turned-event-venue complete with wooden floors and a chic Texas atmosphere.  Sara wowed her guests with delicious food stations, a creative newlywed game, gorgeous cakes from Fancy Cakes by Lauren, breath-taking floral decor from Out of the Garden and the fun, interactive PicFlips Flip Book Studio.  The other TLC brides and many guests had not seen the flipbook studio before and had a great time making their videos for the flipbooks.  To make the props even more personal, Sara and Wes provided us with boxing gloves (Wes is an Ultimate Flighter), a pink cowgirl hat (perfect for Sara) and fun props that their friends would get a kick out of, including a Flavor Flav clock.    They were right – the extra props were a huge hit!  The custom covers for the flipbooks were designed by Orange Spot Pink Nose, as was all of the printed material – it was beautiful!  Glenn Roush kept the party hopping with his tunes – the dance floor stayed crowded.  Meredith Commender of Significant Events of Texas orchestrated the vendors and details to produce a overall amazing event.    And, yes, the Texas heat was at its finest that August day, but everyone still had a great time!

Want to see the episode yourself?  You’re in luck!  The show airs again this Friday, 10/8 at 6pm and Saturday, 10/9 at 1am (I am assuming Central time – check your local listings).  It’s the episode titled, “…And a Pickup Truck.”  Grab your popcorn – we’ll see you there!

Here are a few highlights from the July 2010 Dallas Bridal Show!  Thanks to everyone who stopped by!  See you at the next Dallas Bridal Show in January!

Come see us July 31st to August 1st at Dallas Market Hall (2200 Stemmons Fwy, Dallas, TX) from 10am – 5pm each day.  For more info, check out www.bridalshowsinc.com.

The event has gotten some great press.  Check out what Christine Sracic of D Weddings Magazine’s Bridal Buzz Blog said:

“Bride Associates invites you to their Spootacular Soiree, featuring displays of Andrea Polito Photography and Rufus Felix Flowers. Toss back a “berry scary bridezilla” martini (or two) with a side of nibbles from the always-delicious Campisi’s Catering. Plus, you even get to make your own flipbook, courtesy of Pic Flips. Walk away with discounts from The Wedding Party Studio and a goody bag full of Halloween sweets. It’s like trick-or-treating, bridal style. Thursday, October 8, 6-8 p.m. The Wedding Party Studio, 2422 Allen St.”

#4 -  “Looking for something unique” Many of our brides see the photo booths at the bridal shows, but tell me that they chose the flipbooks because most of their guests have never experienced the flipbook studio before.  It’s a fun way to stand out from every other wedding they have been to (which can start to blend together)!

#3 -  “It’s all in the details” Brides nowadays are adding finishing touches to their wedding by continuing a design element throughout the whole wedding.  This could be a monogram, a pattern or a certain blend of colors.  It can range anywhere from monogrammed hand towels in the restroom to dramatic lighting and a gobo of the couple’s names across the dance floor.  The key is personalization and tying the elements together during the evening.  Custom designed and professionally printed flipbook covers are a simple way to personalize the wedding and give guests a keepsake to take home.

#2 -  “Keeps the guests entertained” Not everyone is gonna shake their groove thang on the dance floor all night.  The idea is to get the guests moving around the room – set up a candy bar with little bags for guests to take home treats, a flipbook studio so guests have a custom keepsake to remember the night and, if there are going to be quite a few little ones in attendance, set up an area where they can decorate their own miniature wedding cake.

#1 -  “Brides and grooms just wanna have FUN!” This is the #1 factor that all of our brides and grooms have in common – they want to have a blast at their wedding reception!   They know that the crowd of people they are inviting are going to want to party and celebrate with them.  It won’t take long for Aunt Marge and Uncle Frank to throw on a feather boa, hold up the ‘I Love You’ sign and give each other a big smooch for the camera.  And in under 90 seconds, they know Aunt Marge will be making the rounds showing off her flipbook and recruiting fellow participants.  They also know that the fun and buzz created at the party will continue long after the night ends as Aunt Marge slips the flipbook in her purse to take to work on Monday.  “You should have been to my niece’s wedding this weekend…What a BLAST!…”
