Whimsical wonderland: Pastel colors, florals, dreamy tulle fabrics, and whimsical touches like a flower wall, giant blooms, or a neon sign.
Once you have your theme, start gathering decor and props. Visit local craft, party supply and fabric stores for materials to make DIY touches. Ask friends or hire help to assist you in setting up - many hands make light work!
Your booth should attract visitors from every corner of the venue. A bold, bright color palette with dimensional elements, personal touches and dynamic lighting are key. Make interactive spaces for photos, have giveaways and share images on social media.

Start with a bold header to announce your booth theme or business name. Add some punchy copy describing your products or services in an exciting way. For example, “Discover unique floral arrangements and décor to make your wedding a blooming success!” or “Treat your guests to a sweet surprise with our artisanal wedding cakes and cupcakes!”
Include photos of your best work to give people a taste of what you have to offer. Images speak louder than words, so select high-quality, high-resolution photos that showcase your style.
List your contact information prominently so people know how to get in touch after the fair. And don’t forget a call-to-action like “Visit us at Booth #35!” to drive more traffic your way.
Print enough flyers and brochures for people to take home with them. You can also hand them out to attendees as they walk by your booth. Place extras in your booth display for people to grab.
Bring signage like a banner with your business name and logo to hang above your booth. Vertical signs placed on your table can also highlight key products, services or promotions. This helps your booth get noticed from far away and up close.
