You've recently gotten engaged and now your ready to start planning your wedding. A must for every bride...attend at least one bridal show during your wedding planning. Bridal shows are a lot of fun, you get to see some of the latest trends in decor, bridal attire, and cakes. Not to include you get to learn first hand about various venues. Include your bridesmaids, mother, or even your future mother-in-law and enjoy an informative wedding planning girls day. Add lunch to the day and you've created a way for your bridal party to get to know one another before your big day!
If your fiance doesn't seem too thrilled about attending the bridal show(s)...don't get upset! Most men would rather be at home in front of the
tv watching the game as opposed to walking down the aisles
ooohing and
ahhhing over the latest wedding trends! That does not mean he doesn't love you and that he doesn't think the wedding planning is of importance! Trust me you are not the only bride to have to force her fiance to attend! Keep in mind guys don't envision their wedding day as little boys! We're the little princesses who dream about what our special day will be like when we marry Prince Charming!
A couple tips: Make sure you wear your comfy shoes, bring
pre-made labels that include your name, grooms name, wedding date, address, email, and contact number for the vendors give-aways. Make sure you have an opportunity to "talk" to the vendors and not just grab their information and stuff them into your bags! If this vendor has the services you are seeking and may seem like a potential vendor for your wedding,
separate their business information or make notes so that you are not confused once you get home. Bridal shows can be overwhelming but they are very beneficial if you take the time out to see what the vendors are offering! Here is a list of some of the upcoming January bridal shows. Have fun and enjoy your wedding planning experience!!!
