You can also preregister online so you don’t have to register when you arrive. Once you have purchased your tickets and preregistered, print out both documents and bring them with you in order to skip the line and head directly into the show.
Determine Which Vendors You Would Like to Meet in Advance
With so many amazing wedding professionals available at the show, it’s a great idea to plan out which ones you would like to meet with first. Also, be sure to come prepared with your questions beforehand so you can start working on wedding details directly at the show. To view the complete vendor list, please click here.
Take Notes
After speaking with all of the vendors and seeing which wedding themes and styles you like best, be sure you have a way to take notes so you can keep in touch with your favorites afterward. You can simply bring a pen and notepad or use your iPad or smart phone to take notes. Also, many of the vendors handout glossy brochures and business cards, so we recommend bringing a Sharpie so you can easily write directly on the materials.
Remember to Bring a Camera
There are going to be so many different wedding displays from décor, floral, photography, venues, a fashion show and much more! Feel free to take pictures of your favorite styles to help you gather inspiration for your own wedding.
As a special treat, this show will also display an amazing vintage wedding gown collection. As you travel through the hall, you will have the opportunity to view wedding styles that your mother or grandmother could have worn — with gowns from the 40’s through the 80’s. Be sure to snap of photo of these fabulous blasts from the past as well!
Plan for the Fashion Show
On both days there will be a designer fashion showcasing the latest bridal gowns and tuxedos for 2014. Be sure to plan accordingly to ensure you don’t miss out. On Friday the show will begin promptly at 8pm and Saturday it will begin at 2pm. The fashion show will include the hottest designs from:
- Jos. A. Bank

Bring the groom on Friday night (he gets in free for Groom’s night) and get your hand stamped when you leave so you can come back Saturday for free and continue shopping.
