Determine Which Vendors You Would Like to Meet in Advance

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!

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, attending a bridal show does not have to be. Here are some tips when attending The Bridal Spectacular.

2. If you have already started your planning, make a list of what you still need. Visit our website and the virtual floor plan and pre determine what vendors you want to make sure not to miss. Visit with them and make appointments

3. Plan to spend at least 4 hours and take your time visiting the vendors, there is no need to rush, it’s all about asking questions and take notes if possible of who you like or collect a business card or flyer from them and put a star on the ones you want to follow up with.

4. Wear comfortable shoes!

7. While it may add to the fun to bring a large crowd with you it can also make it harder to focus. Only bring people with you that you think will really help you do the job! 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.

Our goal is to make planning your wedding easier and stress free, attending a bridal show will be one of the best decisions you make. Just make sure it’s the show that will have everything you are looking for. The Bridal Spectacular!
