Most bridal shows occur in spring and fall, or summer and winter. Look for bridal shows in surrounding areas. The larger the city, the more extravagant the bridal shows tend to be. The purpose of a bridal show is to show the bride and groom some of their options. Whether or not decisions are made, consider this a place to gather information and see what works and what doesn’t. Everyone’s taste is different.
A bridal show should be an open, calm atmosphere. This isn’t about pressure sales; it’s about showing the goods. Food vendors will have nibbles of their dishes for tastings. Bridal venues will have staff on hand to help couples decide if this is the place they want to get married. From the first introduction to good-bye’s the staff should be setting the stage for what their service will be like.
Sampling the different varieties of food will also let you know what style the company cooks in and how formal their service will be. The reception should reflect the same style as the wedding as far as formality goes. Confectioners will have cakes to taste and pictures of the different styles of cakes they make. It’s amazing how extravagant a wedding cake can be.
Bridal shows help create ideas for bachelorette and bachelor parties. They let brides view some of the hottest gowns on the market and weigh their options between a handmade dress to recreate a vision the bride has had since childhood or one of the latest fashions available.
No dress is complete without earrings or a necklace to compliment the dress, which is why jewelry companies are also at the show. Rings need to be picked out for the exchanging of vows. Flower arrangements need to be decided on – not only what flowers, but also what colors. Photographers can make or break the memories of the day, so be sure to choose someone who has experience with wedding photography and shoots in a style you like.
Party gifts and favors can be found and can usually be ordered in a variety of colors. Favors can include anything from candies, to seeds for flowers, to engraved champagne glasses. Transportation companies also attend to showcase the types of limos, Rolls Royces, even horse drawn carriages that are available.
Bridal shows are tailored to brides and grooms, so the men can enjoy the day as much as the women. And if the groom has an interest in making decisions, include him as much as possible. There are registries to choose. Meeting a dance instructor may change the couple’s mind as to whether or not they want a choreographed dance. No matter where you are in the wedding planning process, wedding shows can help.
