So, for those of you following along, I have been updating this blog about 500X more than in the last 2 years. Of course this has to do with the fact that I am blogging about my upcoming first bridal show. It has been a new process for me and I am struggling to stay up on everything. But at the last update I had acknowledged that I had some problems with my photo print order and some of my printed materials handout order as well. I am super happy to report that Vistaprint who was my supplier for my printed materials has been EXCELLENT! I simple sent them a quick message as soon as I knew about the shipping issue and they immediately rushed a new duplicate order out to me and even sent it via a different carrier. Before the week was out I had the replacement and I notified them after noon on Monday! Very quick and very awesome and of course the products came out perfect as I wanted and will give me a big bold statement for all my contact info. I cannot wait to see it up on the booth and see if I get some good feedback on it! 

Then on the image printing I have to say I was just as impressed with my supplier for that order as well. Since this was such a huge order for me, both in perspective of branding and selling but also in sheer amount spent on this order. So when it went sideways out of the gate I was a little worried. But after contacting the company again about the issue they resolved the issue and gave me an additional savings on my order. Which was nice as it helped offset the shipping. Even better was the unbeknownst fact to me that they had already split the order and had the acrylic samples I had ordered in the pipeline. So I was shocked when they arrived here in my possession a full day before they were scheduled to be completed in printing according to their own website. They came in great shape and I am still very seriously impressed with the acrylic printing process. With a nice shot that has good detail and color those prints make for stunning wall art! As well as the smaller block something nice for office desks and the like. I just finished designing and ordering the final pieces for the booth yesterday as I thought I would perhaps benefit from having an available handout with package pricing and various other information on it. That way if I am busy talking with someone and the next person is in a hurry they could get a flyer and look it over later. It was my first time designing something as complex as a tri-fold flyer and I would like to think the results are quite nice. I was worried about a little too much verbiage in it so I did pull the center piece on the inside and put in a couple photos instead. 

All in all things are coming together so fast now and the date is also approaching in a hurry. My only strong concern at this point is getting all the pieces there. As well as being able to put together this booth that I have spent so much time designing in so little time. I have 2 hours to put all the pieces in place and be ready to go. So anything that can be done here beforehand is going to be done. As I am thinking I am going to be needing all 2 hours to get all the pieces up and in place. However if it comes together and looks like it does in my mind, I am going to be very proud of this booth and my accomplishment. Even more if I can get a few people interested in talking to me about helping them create images of a lifetime for their weddings!

So this is the primary shipment and below is an example of the acrylic blocks!
