6 Reasons Why you should attend a Wedding Expo

Dec 30, 2017

 

You want to have the perfect wedding right? Who doesn’t! 🙂

Did you know that attending a wedding show can be a fantastic experience filled with the very best of what the wedding industry has to offer?

Trendy wedding styles, wedding photographers, DJs, you name it- the wedding expo can deliver.

If you still aren’t particularly convinced on why you should go (spoiler: you should), here are six reasons why you should!

 

1. Make Friends

When you attend a bridal show or a bridal expo, they are usually specific to your local area. That means that there will be hundreds of brides, guests and wedding professionals all interacting with each other that also live relatively near one another. Chances are, you might meet someone you know or someone you are happy to have met! Bridal expos are a fun and lively event and people go to these shows to have fun and surround themselves with the sights, smells and sounds of the wedding industry. No matter how hectic your wedding planning situation might be, be sure to go to a wedding expo in a positive mood ready to meet people!

 

2. Make it Personal

One of the hardest parts of wedding planning is finding wedding professionals with services you need…and those that you actually like. If you are looking for a more casual environment where you get to meet the people that run the wedding services you need as well as sample whichever products they might have, a wedding expo is the perfect place to do it. You want to actually enjoy working with your video photographer right? Most wedding professionals will be involved at some point in your wedding process for several hours if not longer. It is good to test the waters first before making any decisions! The hope is that during the expo you meet a caterer, or Dj that really understands YOUR ideas and vision for your dream wedding- and can help make it happen!

 

3. Save Money

Here is a wedding show expo secret: Exhibitors at the show offer show only deals- all the time! That’s right, if you show up to the show, find a wedding pro you like, chances are they have a fantastic deal specific to brides that attend the show. Score! Here is another tip, even if the exhibitor does not show that they have a wedding show promotion, be sure to ask. They are there to book brides just like you and they want your business! Many of them will do whatever it takes (within reason) to get you to say yes. Take advantage!

 

4. Advice from Professionals

If you are anything like me, planning a wedding is a hard thing to do. It can be challenging to figure out where to find what you want and even what you should want? How do I know how many place settings I need at my reception tables? Do I give everyone at my wedding a swag bag? I might not know all the answers, or even some of them, but I can tell you that the professionals you come across at the wedding expo will be able to answer any question you have. Many of them have been in the wedding industry for a while and have seen it all and know what works best. Don’t hold any questions back. No question is a bad question! This is your wedding. Get all the advice you need from the people who know!

 

5. Win Cool Stuff

I like free stuff. People like free stuff. I can only assume that you like free stuff too. Right? If you do, then a wedding expo is a fabulous place to get new swag. Many exhibitors during the show will have show-only giveaways and prizes for potential brides and couples to win when you visit your booths. They might come in the form of raffles, online drawings or free stuff on their booths. Be sure to sign up to anything and everything you think you want. You could even win a free honeymoon! Now that’s what I’m talking about. Remember, if you don’t enter, you don’t win anything. If you don’t attend the expo, you can’t enter… See where I’m going with this?

 

6. Keep up with the latest

 

If you have ever wanted to learn what the latest trends and fashions were in the wedding world, this is the place to be. The best exhibitors will be in attendance and they know the very top of the line, cream of the crop, good stuff that you probably have never seen before-and never knew you needed, until now. Did you know that the Great Bridal Expo offers an exclusive wedding fashion show to its guests? Take a look at the hottest in wedding dress and formal wear fashion at our shows!

 

There you have it! A bridal expo is simply a great experience that every bride should attend at least once. From free stuff, awesome advice and exposure to the latest in wedding fashions, a wedding show has it all.

Happy wedding planning!
