\"Lovesick<\/a>There is perhaps no better way to start off our company’s move to New York City than by attending a local wedding show. Especially if it’s The Lovesick Expo<\/a><\/strong>, a unique wedding showcase held in the heart of hipster-land Williamsburg.<\/p>\n

Held for the 3rd year in a row, the Lovesick Expo bills itself as “an elite array of local talent, unique wedding ideas, hand-crafted, and eco-friendly goods, appealing to indie-minded couples.”<\/p>\n

And I’d say it certainly lives up to its reputation. Compared to traditional wedding shows, Lovesick Expo was a well-curated intimate event for couples that have a unique sense of style and want to find wedding vendors to match their vision. We met a lot of unique vendors, some based right around the corner, others visiting all the way from Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

I met our friends from Bonobos<\/strong> who launched a unique partnership<\/a> with Weddington Way<\/strong> to help rescue the bridal party from the fashion gutter.<\/p>\n

\"Bonobos<\/a><\/p>\n

There were many florists at the show, but we especially liked this display by Foxglove<\/a><\/strong>, Brooklyn-based floral design studio that specializes in locally sourced flowers (including those from New York state!)<\/p>\n

\"Eco-friendly<\/p>\n

Another Brooklyn-based floral designer who stood out was Jen Hyde from Off Cut Brooklyn<\/a><\/strong>, a true craft artist who works not only with flowers but also makes ties!<\/p>\n

Although, as in all wedding shows, there was a large percentage of New York photographers, the one that stood out from the crowd was Brae Howard Photography<\/a><\/strong> because of her unique DIY booth display. Brae explained that she printed out her work on sheets of cotton using SpoonFlower.com<\/a> and pinned them onto a large burlap sheet. \"Unique<\/a><\/p>\n

We also met the folks from the Green Bride Guide<\/strong><\/a>, whose business card was attached to a plantable wildflower heart that’s one of the wedding favors they carry, and tried delicious duck appetizer from Betty Brooklyn Catering Company<\/a><\/strong>.\"Betty<\/a><\/p>\n

But the biggest surprise was meeting Vinny DePonto, a Brooklyn-based magician! Heading his cleverly-named company Now You See Him<\/a><\/strong>, Vinny travels around the country entertaining wedding guests with fun, non-kitschy magic tricks. For the right wedding, I think it’s a really fun idea!<\/p>\n

\"Wedding<\/a><\/p>\n

All in all, Lovesick Expo’s quirky, stylish vendor showcase was a delightful way to celebrate I Do PR’s move to New York City’s. We’re very excited to attend more interesting shows and discover other talented New York wedding vendors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
