I had the pleasure of photographing the Association of Bridal Consultants’ meeting at Glen Foerd Mansion last week. Phyllis Jablonowski of Eventricity Floral and Event Design gave an impressive presentation on tabletop planning and setup, instructing the group on an array of napkin folds, proper table setting and spacing, rules for centerpiece design for optimal flow and appeal, and so many more tidbits. It was the perfect size group for an event like this. Coordinators were asking questions, offering advice, and bringing up trends and concerns within the industry. I felt quite lucky to be let into the thought processes going on in the room.
Here are some images from Philly’s gorgeous Glen Foerd on the Delaware. I’ve shot at this Conroy Catering venue a few times now and it always charms me with its intimate rooms filled with historic pieces and character in every corner. The gallery upstairs boasts original art pieces by Monet, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh. You’d never know that this Victorian beauty were there unless you were looking for it.
And some images from the evening and Phyllis’ rousing presentation.
Thanks again to Rebecca Richman of Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants and Lynda Barness of I Do Wedding Consulting for inviting me to photograph the event!
If nothing else I learned: never put that freaking napkin inside the glass!
