NWA Bride Premier Showcase

Saturday, January 15th we were a part of the 19th Annual NWA Bride Premier Showcase. We enjoyed meeting many brides and seeing some of the brides we are already working with. We gave away a 3 piece set of luggage to a lucky bride. Here are a couple snapshots of our booth.

Lee McAhren was randomly drawn as the winner of our Blogiversary Giveaway! Congratulations girl! Thanks to those who commented with insightful travel tips. I thought I'd include them for all to see.

• Ok this might not be an earth shattering piece of advice, but USE sunscreen. Don't just bring it on your honeymoon, if you are laying in the sun on day 2 of your Jamaican vacation, use it or you will be torched by sunshine beams. - Aaron Nolan
• Best Advice... sleep in and enjoy the buffet while you leave work behind! Travel tip.... buy a kindle and take it everywhere! - Mindi Wilkins
• Pack light but use a larger bag, so you will have PLENTY of room for souvenirs and purchases you buy while on vacation. I, also, usually back a smaller duffle bag (easy to fold up)in my larger suitcase just in case I need to check another bag (my husband hates this, because it means I spent too much money shopping while on vacation:-) . - Lee McAhren
• Roll your clothes. You really can get so much more in your suitcase that way.- Jeffie Thomas
