Quick Wedding Tips #39: Bridal Shows

Bridal shows or expos can be overwhelming and even hokey at times, but use them to your advantage.  Walk the floor and meet the vendors.  Get a feel for their personality (as you will need to work with them the entire day of your wedding), look at samples of their work, and get references.   If you are interested, take their card, and contact them at a later date to discuss availability and pricing.  Many vendors will provide a coupon for visiting their table.  Also, don’t forget to take advantage of the door and raffle prizes, where you can win a free honeymoon, limo transportation or photography package!
