David Beahm Featured on Brooklyn Bride

We are always excited to see our professors featured elsewhere. A few days ago, the fabulous blog, Brooklyn Bride, featured an interview with David Beahm, along with photos of his amazing studio and team at work. David blew everyone away when he presented at our Academy for Planners + Designers in March. Prior to meeting David, many people perceived him as a celebrity Event Designer in New York.....and that title alone must simply come with some ego and attitude! That couldn't be further away from the truth. David was humble, down to earth, and extremely open in sharing his design techniques and business advice. Everyone loved him, including us ofcourse. We cannot wait until we get to film him in action in New York! For now, we hope that those who didn't make it to the Academy for Planners + Designers can benefit from David's presentation online, which is available in our Wedding 360 Online Academy. Here's a small snippet from that presentation!

Welcome David Beahm!

We're really honored that David Beahm is able to take time out of his incredibly busy schedule to teach at The Academy. For those who have been following him on twitter, you must know that lots of exciting things have been happening at his studio! New website, new partnership with Flora2000, and a fabulous write up in the recent Wall Street Journal. Even with so much going on, it still doesn't stop David from putting a lot of thought into the topic that he will teach at The Academy next month. We so admire that about him, amongst many other things!

David will be teaching the following class for us:

'Lifestyle Weddings Design Techniques Master Class'
Designing for visual volume and perceived value in the new economy. 

The first half of the class will be devoted to looking behind the scenes at specific lifestyle wedding and event design conundrums; dissecting the options (venue, story, color, botanicals, lighting, props, draping, budget); and then seeing how the problems were assuaged and alleviated as shown through a series of before and after images.  The second half of the session will open up the floor to the participants inviting them to present their design challenges from current weddings they are designing.  David will, on the spot, collaborate with the participant to explore possible solutions thereby creating a visual resolution that is viable for them and their client.

We really encourage you to come prepared with your 'design challenges', or with questions for David as this is a very unique opportunity to learn from a seasoned pro like him!
