After the Show

Yesterday, we attended the Baltimore Bridal show and I have to say, it was one of the best turnouts we have ever seen. We ended up giving out about 250 sample invitations (which are actually our promotional packs too!) and about 450 lip glosses! We heard that about 800 people came through the doors, so it was a busy day! The new booth design was a huge hit! Below are some pictures...enjoy!

Baltimore Bridal Show!

No pictures today...boo! But, we've been hard at work packing up all of our goodies for the big Baltimore Bridal Show on Sunday at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront from 11am to 5pm...yeah!!! We are so excited about our new booth design...it's definitely worth coming out and seeing!

Okay, I lied, here is one picture for you...I'm so excited about this picture...our awesome bride, Mandee and the phenomenal Jen Lowe humored me and took a bunch of great photos with our invite...we're thinking of using it for an ad in the future. Thanks Mandee and Jen!!!

It's a Wrap!

Exciting day for Allison Barnhill Designs...hopefully, you saw me on WBFF Fox 45 Morning news today -- and even called in to win the $500 gift certificate! I can't wait to hear from the lucky bride who won!

Well, here is the wrap up from the day...Very early this morning (at the crack of dawn, literally), the awesome, sweet and talented Amie Decker did my hair and makeup. Love her!!! I drove to the studio and was ushered back to "the door" of the studio, where the news was being recorded live. During a commercial, I was brought inside the studio -- very surreal. After a quick set up of the invites, getting 'mic'ed up and meeting Patrice, the interview flew by in the blink of an eye. Before I knew it, I was packing up my invites! Whew! Oh, and great story -- on my way out of the studio, Jessica, the weekend weather anchor and weekday Hometown Hot Spot reporter, asked for my card and we'll hopefully be designing her wedding invitations!

Such a great start to a fun weekend! We're looking forward to the Baltimore Bridal Show at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront. And, we still have a few free tickets, so please call or email, if you want them. And, when you stop by our booth at the show, please be sure to enter for our grand prize giveaway!

Below are lots of pictures from the day! And, we're including pictures of all of the invitations that were featured during the interview, in case you missed it or want a closer look. Enjoy!

Amie Decker and me...ready for TV! :)

So, that's the interview...and here are the invitations we featured!

Tomorrow is the Big Day...

...nope, I'm not getting married...but I will be on TV!

Remember to tune into WBFF Fox 45 Morning News tomorrow morning around 8:30am to see the live interview! (I've been watching this week and it looks like I could be on anytime between 8:20 until 9am) We'll be showcasing some new invitation designs -- along with same favorites. And, at the end of the interview, we'll be giving away a large gift certificate...so be ready to call in to see if you can win!

And, hopefully, we'll see you on Sunday at the Baltimore Bridal Show - 11am to 5pm at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront.
