Bridal Shows

Hi ladies. One of the ladies had mentioned going to a bridal show and receiving a huge discount on her photographer. I hadn't thought about attending a bridal show. How many others of you have attended one or plan to attend one? Have you received discounts on items as well? It might be worth looking into. I'm interested in your thoughts on this one.

Re: Bridal Shows

I have never been to one, but I heard they are good to go to. I have never heard anyone say "it was a waste of time" Every time a show would come to my area, it comes on a day that I couldn't make it.

My mom's friend went to one for me, and registered my name. Now, I get all types of coupons and stuff like that in the mail from vendors.

If you have a bridal show coming in your area, go ahead and go. Not only will you get discounts and stuff like that, you can probably get ideas on how you want things to look at your wedding.

Re: Bridal Shows

Thanks B2B, I can certainly use a discount. The next time I receive one of those "Bridal Show" post cards in the mail I will try and attend.

Re: Bridal Shows

Sometimes malls or the more expensive halls host bridal shows a few times a year, but the really good bridal shows (held at convention centers) only come twice a year- April & October. I've never known anyone that has gone to one.

I'm a married woman as of December 2, 2006.

Re: Bridal Shows

They happen all the time here. Every now and then I get post cards in the mail inviting me to these "free" events.

Re: Bridal Shows

Rhony, I attended one at Woodbridge Mall. It was very nice. I was able to get FH + 1 rental for free. And all of the groomsmen got $20 off their rental. Here's some listings of upcoming shows:

Re: Bridal Shows

We've gone to three bridal shows over two years in the south where the wedding will be. I would see it advertised in February and August. We did extensive homework and interviewed our vendors at length.

Bridal shows are great and a lot of fun. It's really a Bride thing. You can win some really nice prizes too. We were Bridal Showed out after the last one but we accomplished what we set out to do.

Try to go to at least one.

God is good all the time and all the time God is good
