A couple weekends ago, we went to a bridal expo, Bridal Spectacular. I'd been told how helpful and fun they can be, so when I saw there was one coming to town, I got tickets! Grooms got in for free, so that was an added bonus.
I can't lie, it was VERY overwhelming at times. There was so much to look at, so much information being shared and handed to you, and lots of people to socialize with. We got information on literally everything; attire, venues (even though we're going out of state), catering, decor, jewelry, honeymoon locations, fitness plans, favors, etc. You name it, they had it.
Our favorite part was all the different photo booths. We were able to play a little dress up and take free pictures. We also got the cutest bride-to-be and groom stickers to wear so everyone knew we were one of the happy couples.
I received a lot of cute tote bags, magazines, and samples. The cake (and other food) samples were the best!
We ended up spending 3 hours there! And the best part...KC didn't complain once! I was worried he would get super bored, but they did a really great job incorporating things the grooms would like. Between the free food, photo booths, and tux booths, he was a happy camper. We got so many great decorating ideas as well. I would totally recommend anyone getting married to check out a bridal expo in their area.

Bridal shows are the BEST!! All of the free cake and photo booths really are the best part. I have to admit that one of the big benefits of being a Wedding Planner is still going to these shows after my own wedding ;)
