Good evening from New York!

Holly and the Chapel Designers arrived in the big apple last night and are already taking it by a storm. My name is Megan, and I’ll be Holly’s on-site blogger for the week giving you daily updates on all the best moments from this year’s Chapel Designers Conference. The Chapel Designers Conference this year  has representation from 22 states, 4 countries and 1 territory!! Can you believe it?! All of us gathered at last night’s opening event hosted by our incredibly friendly and fabulous sponsors Vasesource and Fleurametz.

Everyone got a chance to enjoy the space at Vasesource, scout out at all the latest vases, and Holly even picked out some blooms to design with tonight at the hotel!

We had so many fun reunions with many of the past designers and it’s been a blast meeting new ones! Holly was thrilled when Karen Tran arrived!

Do you remember our friend, Olga, from Russia?! She came all the way out for this special event. Holly was gifted this beautiful scarf [pictured below] straight from Mother Russia!

Holly calls him our star, and he sure is! David Beahm is in the house!!

Thanks to Amy Tucker for turning around these images for us! We are excited and all on the edge of our seats to start day 1 bright and early for a huge conference session.

Last but not least, Vicki Grafton and I put together a fun film to document this fun start to our week! This is by no means our forte, but it was a blast capturing the all the excitement.
