Bridal Shows- Tricks of the Trade!

Bridal shows are something each and every bride should experience!! They can be somewhat overwhelming so that's why we decided to give you tips on attending!

Be Picky!! Don't just attend the first free bridal show!  Usually the ones that cost money and that are more on the small side can be better then the huge "free for all" shows.  The vendors can sometimes be more qualified at boutique bridal shows then those that are at big convention centers.  These shows are more intimate and are great for first time bridal show brides. It will give you experience and be less chaotic.

Create a Seperate Email!  Before going to the show, start a new email account that is strictly for wedding information!! During your walk through at the shows, the vendors will ask for your email and then send you information.  In doing this, you will be more organized.

Bring a Friend!  You may want to consider bringing your groom, maid of honor or mom.  It's good to have someone to bounce ideas off of, as well as be there to help you with all the goodies that you will get.

What to Bring?  Bring a pen and some paper.  You may find a dress designer that you never heard of during the fashion show or come up with an idea that you didn't think of earlier.  When you get home you can review all of your notes to help you with the planning!

Visit as Many Vendors as Possible! Certain shows may have a scavenger hunt where you win something if you get all of your vendors stamped,but others may not require you to see every vendor. It is in your best interest to see them all!!  Each vendor has something to share and great ideas! If you visit their booth on the day of the show they may offer a bridal show discount.

Expect a good time! If you go with the right attitude and a level of expectation, it should be a great time!!  Wear comfortable shoes for walking and talk to other brides, it may get you some great ideas and even new friends! A big plus? You get to taste some delicious food and yummy cake!

We hope to see you at the next show!

  1. Did you enjoy the most recent Bridal Shows? What do you think of the upcoming outdoor wedding season? This area has some of the finest weddings in the country. Our outdoor weddings are just as grand as any, and there are some of the nicest Restroom Trailer rental options available for people having their wedding outdoors.

    Did you know a local company actually was nominated as one of America’s Best Restrooms in 2011 because of one of their restroom trailers? We’d love to see a post about The importance of portable restroom rentals at outdoor weddings sometime soon!
