2014 Handpicked | A Different Kind of Bridal Event

As we're vamping up for Handpicked 2015, we thought we would look back on last year's event :)  Many of the wonderful vendors at the first Handpicked, returned with more gorgeousness. And we were also so happy to have several new vendors jump on board. Together, we created a beautiful, whimsical evening for our guests. Complete with food, music, photo booths, snow cones, and bonfires!

Hine's Hill Conference Center provided the setting for our beautiful outdoor event last summer. The space is filled with trees surrounding a gorgeous stone building and a small barn for an intimate reception. It was a great place for our guests to come see, taste, and hear all of the amazing offerings that our local, Northeast Ohio vendors have in store. Check out the amazing photos by Lauren Gabrielle Photography, Studio Elle Photography, and Tiffany Luc Photography!

Boutique Bridal Bazaar 2015

Hey all! We're super excited to finally show you what we displayed at this year's Boutique Bridal Bazaar! Our goal was to think outside of the box and go in a totally different direction than we've ever gone before. I think we accomplished that ;)

Stylist, Brigit, took the bull by the horns with this project and really wowed us all! She incorporated the color palette, designed by Amanda, to create a whole new look. "I would describe it as romantic, elegant, warm, glamour", says Brigit. See for yourselves :)


Here is the original inspiration board that we used to draw ideas from. Now watch it come to life!

Oxblood has been named THE wedding color of 2015. We also have a deep love for gold that we like to incorporate whenever possible. Brigit put her vinyl and calligraphy skills to work to create these amazingly beautiful plates for the sweetheart table.


To achieve that glamorous, 1920s feeling, we added things such as this adorable bar cart, crystal liquor decanters, and champagne favors.

 
This gold sequin table cloth, by L'Nique, was a major draw in for many of the brides passing by. It added that extra texture and glam to the space that really made it pop! It also paired fabulously with those amazing gold-backed chairs furnished by Event Source.
 
 
Perhaps our most impressive feature was this amazing marquee backdrop! It was definitely a major focal point of the entire room. The lighting on this backdrop was the key to achieving that warm feeling we were going for. It also served as a brilliant display for some of our stationery :) Thanks Molly Taylor Designs for the gorgeous garland and floral!
 
 
So proud of this team for all we have accomplished in the 2015 thus far! And the year has only just begun ;)

DEADLINE EXTENDED!! It's that time again! We're hiring an intern!



If you've always found yourself interested in all the beautiful things that are part of the wedding industry this is the right place for you.  We pride ourselves on being incredibly "coastal" with our creations and our small business thinking - we'd love to have you along for the ride!

Here's the breakdown:

1} This is an unpaid internship. However, the interns will be reimbursed for any Baci-related driving done with their own personal vehicles (prepare yourself - there are a lot of errands to run in preparation for Handpicked!).

2} This position will require presence in both Baci's home studio (in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio) and at assistant stylist Brigit's home (in Akron, Ohio.) Approximately 1 day a week at each location with some satellite work from your home (and some late night crafting) depending on the current work load.

3} We are interested in a graphic design intern - The intern will be responsible for creating many of the Handpicked graphics and stationery pieces. You will get to be a part of our daily business and learn the in's and out's of how Baci works, as well!

4} The position will begin the week of February 2nd February 16th and run until the beginning of May. The deadline for application is Friday, January 23rd Monday, February 2nd. That week we will begin contacting candidates we are interested in to schedule interviews.

5} We are looking for someone who's fun and easy to work with who also has the following qualities:

An Independent Worker - We cherish the time spent teaching our interns, but we also have to get things accomplished ;o)
An Organization Nerd - Putting together an event like Handpicked while maintaining regular business requires loads of organization.
A Creative and Crafty Soul - We love out of the box thinkers who can create right alongside Martha!
A Social Networking Guru - Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Google+, Pinterest, Instagram - you name it, we use it and you'll be expected to ;o)
A Google Applications Expert - We use Google to run pretty much everything around here.
A Practiced Blogger User and Well-executed Writer - You will be expected to come up with unique and well-written blog posts throughout the duration of the internship.
A Skilled InDesign/Illustrator/PhotoShop Artist - These are incredibly important in Baci's studio.  We aren't saying you have to be a genius in all Adobe design products, but having a working knowledge of them is incredibly important.
*An Outgoing Personality - Wall flowers not need apply!  This environment is fast and fun - the more energetic and confident you are, the more you will benefit from it.  You'll be calling up local businesses searching for specific design elements, stopping in coffee shops to hang promotional fliers, chatting it up with brides-to-be and mingling with some of the most talented vendors in the area - all in a day's work :o)  You will be on a new adventure every day, so being up for a challenge is a definite bonus!

And a few more "musts":
Must LOVE Weddings!!
Must spell stationery correctly - Look it up if you're not sure. I promise I won't even finish reading your resume if you don't.
Must love Morris the Cat - This cat loves to test our interns, but they always end up loving one another by the end of the semester!
Must be able to deal with the random happenings of parents with a toddler and baby - Our little guys won't be working alongside us often, but the life of working parents is never dull, lol!
Must provide own reliable transportation and laptop computer

If you feel like we were just describing you (it's like we're in your brain, right?!?!) and you're interested in applying for Baci's 2015 Spring Internship - please send your resume and cover letter to info@bacidesigner.com with the subject line "2015 Spring Intern" by the end of the day Friday, January 23rd.

Please feel free to share this posting as well!  Thanks, we look forward to hearing from you soon!
