The modern world

"In the modern world it is unnecessary to cut down trees to spread ideas" By Bill James (Boston Red Sox's special adviser and Baseball Abstract writer).

My husband and I are huge baseball fans and we came across this quote by Bill James. It is very true that we live in a time where the resources to spread information is now mostly through electronic form. We live in the "E" age and the more that I think about it, we live in a time where we need up to date news and sometimes I feel that I way too connected.

Do you ever feel that you are not as productive, because you have to work on the social media part of your business. Social media is a big part of our businesses now, if you don't have a Twitter, it's like your business is not worth following. It's worse when you don't have a real website, people think that if you didn't invest in a real website that then they should not invest in you.

The times are a changing, but the positive side in things is that through the blogs and information that we share sometime we truly are able to connect with real people and people who care and support you from afar.

For my sake, we will call it the "E" connection. : )

Thank you for taking the time to read : )

Fashionable Bridal Drink

Ok, I put bridal in there so brides would read it, but now that I have your attention. Dirty Blonde Cocktails is one of our latest vendors to be included in our many list of fabulous vendors. Just imagine sitting by the runway during the first ever Arizona Bridal Week looking at the wonderful exciting new line from local and national bridal gown designers, sipping on some Dirty Blonde (if you are of drinking age of course) and thinking what else could a girl ask for.

Well, maybe that's what I'll be doing. Actually, I'll probably need a whole 10 cases of it before I can get to sit down. These runway shows are so fun to look at, but you can't imagine the time and effort to produce a line and then produce the runway show.

But that's what we want to do for our brides during September 26th - October 3rd is to put forth the effort to show them a good time. For now, since we have to wait a cruel 6 months away to experience 8 days of pure bridal runway bliss, check out our newest vendor Dirty Blonde Cocktails. You know you want taste some yummy alcohol now that I mentioned it. : )

Now that we have many of you interested in the first ever Arizona Bridal Week, we are finally finalizing plans and venues to get you more pumped up for the whole week of September 26th to October 3rd.

Our main goal is to make the whole week be a more fashion forward bridal week to entice prospective brides to come to the event. As a woman, I can tell you first hand that whenever someone says fashion show, I am there in a heart beat and I think many of our brides are the same way. Mixing two industries like fashion and bridal only spells more bookings to all in involved.

Many companies are cutting back on marketing, the people who put their company in front of the bride several times will be the company she books with first. That's why we decided to put fashion in the mix, the bride will remember the great bridal oriented attire and your company along with it.

This is not your ordinary bridal booth expo show, its a fun fast pace fashion show with plenty to see and do while you are waiting. It's not about passing out a million fliers to the brides hoping one of them will read it, at this show you already have the brides attention, you just have to find a way to engage them into talking with you more.

Some of the easy questions are "Which one was your favorite gown," Which designer did you like best, I can see you in that one, etc.

As you can tell we are ecstatic about devoting more effort in this event. We are open to any suggestions you may have in making the first bridal week even better. Remember we are all working together to make this an event Arizona will never forget. Please speak up and let us know.

In the meantime stay tuned! We will be adding more and more content to our website at www.arizonasbridalweek.com and if you have any questions please free to email info@arizonasbridalweek.com.

Some of the future options is a listing of all of our vendors websites and their blogs, so the brides can see what is new with your company and so they have an up to date preview of what's going on. Also, for each venue / day we will have individual listings and a brief history of the property and which vendors will be at that show.
