“When Times Get Tough... The Tough Get Educated” (The Special Event, San Diego, CA)

This was the idea behind this year's The Special Event in San Diego California, which Cher and part of the Merry Me Team were able to participate in, again, this year!
The Special Event is a great event that caters to the event industry offering educational sessions, décor and design ideas, and vendors from around the world; as well as interaction and feedback from many professional and celebrity planners and designers from the industry. Putting all of these resources at our fingertips and all in one location allows Cher and the Merry Me Team to give you the latest and greatest in trends, design, décor and overall event planning for your special occasion!

The big buzz words that seem to encompass our everyday lives are Economy, Green, Recycled and Budget; these too were hot topics that were spread around The Special Event educational seminars this year. With this in mind, Merry Me is passing this new found knowledge to you, our clients and customers. Offering budget reviews and recommendations, Up-Cycling inventory to reduce cost and create new looks, and new ways to look take your event to the next level while still staying TRUE to your budget.

Not only did we come home with a wealth of knowledge, but check out just some of the HOT décor ideas the Merry Me Team took home from the show this year:

Black and White All Over! – That’s right! The black and white theme is as hot as ever. It is classy and crisp, and can be customized with a pop of color like hot pink, bright blue and yellows.

Bring Your Event to Light!! - Lighting packages is increasingly becoming just as essential as floral when it comes to weddings and events. Creative lighting can transform a blank space into dramatic atmosphere, adding layers of depth and creating a memorable backdrop to your event.

Not So Matchy Matchy – This year, variety is the spice of life! Using the “up-cycle” ideal, it is all about creating space with similar themes and design, but adding depth with different tablescapes, and décor.

Merry Me will be showing of a tiny snapshot of these incredible ideas at the entrance of the WSBT Bridal Expo, February 28, 2009 at the Notre Dame JACC.
