Chapel Designers Conference: NYC

(Published on: The Bridal Theory)

Last month, one of our Bloomin' owners, JoAnn Jones, attended the 5th annual Chapel Designers Workshop in New York City. This workshop, along with its many others around the world, are for members of the Chapel Designers Organization. This organization was created by Holly Chapple, as a network to keep like-minded floral industry experts connected. In her own words, "it is an organization not only meant to educate, support and mentor creatives, but to also encourage the individual designer to be his or her most authentic self." As a means to offer support and new learnings, Holly hosts annual workshops around the world to gather those that are a part of Chapel Designers, which is what our owner JoAnn attended. JoAnn had the privilege of hearing from some of the wedding industry's most highly esteemed professionals such as: Sage Wedding Pros, The Bridal Theory, Southern Weddings Magazine, Joy Thigpen, Martha Weddings, Silk and Willow, Eco Fresh Bouquet, Meg Biram, and David Beahm Design. JoAnn learned many new techniques for putting together bouquets, how to keep your business up to date in the current marketing world, and was able to make connections with so many others in our industry.
