Registration
To save you even more time, you can also preregister online so you don’t have to wait in line to register when you arrive. Once you have purchased your tickets and preregistered, print out both documents and bring them with you to head directly into the show. However, be sure to pick up your complimentary shopping bag at the registration area, which includes the show program, Spectacular Bride Magazine, bride and groom stickers, a complete list of exhibitors, and a Spectacular Bride wedding planner. If you purchased VIB tickets, there will be a special registration area for you to pick up your t-shirts at the front entrance.
Research Vendors Beforehand
At a Bridal Spectacular Show, you will have the opportunity to meet with the top wedding service professionals in all of Las Vegas. It’s a great idea to do you homework ahead of time and plan out which companies you would like to speak with first to ensure you don’t miss anyone. Also, be sure to come prepared with your questions so you can start working on wedding details directly at the show. To see the complete list of companies, view here: 2015 Show Vendors.
Stop by the Inspiration Zone
Our famed Inspiration Zone will help you find ideas for every wedding theme imaginable. As you stroll throughout the aisles, you’ll be inspired by the latest wedding décor, floral arrangements, tablescapes, ceremony set-ups and much more. Please feel free to take pictures of your favorite styles to help you gather inspiration for your own wedding. There will also be the LED Unplugged Lounge if you want to take a quick break and buy a refreshing drink or cocktail during the show!
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 of taking 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 will handout glossy brochures and business cards, so we recommend bringing a Sharpie so you can easily write directly on the materials.
Don’t Miss the Fashion Show
On both days there will be a designer fashion show boasting the latest wedding styles. On Friday the show will begin promptly at 8pm and Saturday it will begin at 2pm — be sure to plan accordingly to ensure you don’t miss out.
