At Bridepower, our goal is to make every bride’s life a little easier and more affordable. Planning a wedding can be stressful! Wouldn’t it be nice if everything — local DJs, caterers, cakes, travel agents — were all in one place so you could check everything off your list right away? Well, it sounds like you need to go to a bridal show! If you’ve never attended a bridal show in the past, they’re the mecca for companies in your area looking to meet your every wedding need. As we said before, our goal is to make your life simpler, so we’ve put together a list of the largest bridal shows in different regions of the United States. Register for the event closest to your home, and start scratching the major things off that list!
Midwest
At the Luxury Bridal Expo of Chicago and Milwaukee, you can literally plan your wedding all in one day! It’s the largest show in the Midwest, and vendors come from surrounding states like Indiana and Iowa to be part of this huge event. You will walk up aisles and aisles of cakes, flowers, dresses, DJs, caterers, and more. The runway show with top couture designers will provide you with the exact vision for yourself and your bridal party on your big day. Running from January through November 2015, this year-round event will give you everything you need to plan your perfect wedding.
East Coast
Running from January through August 2015, A Bridal Affair to Remember runs large bridal shows throughout the tri-state area. It features local vendors, so you can witness and taste everything yourself before making final decisions for your big day. With live music playing and models walking throughout the expo wearing the latest bridal designs, there will always be things to see. With free admission and a honeymoon trip given away at every event, why wouldn’t you go?
The South
If you reside in the South, Elite Events puts on one of the biggest bridal events from January through September 2015. Most of these shows can be found in Georgia and Alabama. At each event, you will meet and learn more about local vendors — this includes tasting delicious samples of foods and cakes from the Southern culinary creators, listening to fine tunes from DJs, visualizing yourself in beautiful bridal designs, and more! You’ll never be bored at the event, especially with a bridal runway show that sports the latest looks. When you register for the event, Elite Events will not only provide a free one-year subscription to Bride’s Magazine, but it will also enter you in a contest with a chance to win a honeymoon trip!
West Coast
A gigantic bridal show that occurs on one weekend all over the West Coast, Wedding Show Weekend is certainly a behemoth. On Saturday, Feb. 28, and Sunday, March 1, golf courses and country clubs in California, Oregon, and New Mexico will host this extravaganza like no other. The 2nd annual Wedding Show Weekend provides you Western brides with premiere local vendors and designers so you’re fully prepared to plan your special day. A total of $30,000 in giveaway prizes and free admission are two good reasons why you should feel tempted to go — and two lucky people will receive $10,000 to put towards a club or course of their choice in the network. You won’t want to miss this event!
