The Bridal Show!

This past Sunday I went to my first ever Bridal Show.  It was held at the resort in which we will be getting married at.  Perfect opportunity to also take the time to show my mom around the resort.  We first went to the plaza where we will say our "I do's".  Then we made our way to the ballroom.  We just simply peeked inside the ballroom.  That was important to me to see again since I'm still debating our color scheme. 

After we went exploring a bit we then went into the exhibit hall where the Bridal Show was.  I got a button to wear that says "Bride".  Kind of fun wearing a button like that!  Inside the Bridal Show there were booths after booths set up of different vendors services.  Despite the fact that I have the cake bakery chosen already my mom and I still hit up the bakery booths that were giving out samples.  In all we sampled 3 different cakes.  One of the cakes we sampled was almost as big as a real slice of cake!  The other 2 were more like a sample should be. Yummy!

My main mission while at the Bridal Show was checking out booths of different invitation businesses, florists, and bridal jewelry.  Sadly there was only 1 invitation booth and no bridal jewelry. There were a few florists.  We also collected some info on rehearsal dinner catering, decor ideas, and tuxedo info for my fiancé. Oh and we looked at a photographers book of a wedding which had a great color scheme demonstrated for a Christmas wedding.  I actually held my camera phone up to those photographers pics to take a few pics of my own. Definitely helps me picture things when I can see a similar color scheme in action in another wedding.   

Certainly a fun experience.  I hope to go to another Bridal Show as my wedding date gets closer.  That of course depends on how many more things we might need lined up, what type of vendors will be present, and when the next Show is.  I would assume though that at some point in the Fall there will be another show of some kind. 

P.S......I would like to point out that today is August 15th....exactly 4 months until our wedding!
