5 Reasons Why You Should Attend A Wedding Expo
The perfect day begins with planning.
Planning a wedding will come with tons of excitement but it can also come with stress and anxiety. Knowing that you’re making the right decisions is one way to calm your nerves and reassure you that your wedding will be filled with love, romance, and fun.
One significant way to see that you’re making the right decisions regarding planning your wedding is by hiring the right vendors! That, too, can be a daunting task because you may have your doubts and might find it hard to decide, especially when you have to see them at different locations.
One way to eliminate the stress in hiring wedding vendors is through wedding expos. An event held to showcase all the wedding services there are, even ones you hadn’t realized you needed! Below are five reasons why you need to attend a wedding show while planning your wedding.
● There Will Be Lots Of Exhibitions
With wedding expos, you won’t need to ask vendors for their best products or services. There will be displays of all the offers at their different stands. To make sure that this will help you find what you need, you will want to have a list of the types of vendors you need to see. We say this because you can quickly get distracted with all of the great providers you will see! Different wedding fairs & festivals will have different sizes of rooms and numbers of vendors. Small to mid-size shows will have 30-40 vendors. Large shows can have hundreds of events. Wedding fairs at country clubs, private venues and hotels will be smaller than those held at a convention center, or civic center. Plan on spending a few hours at a show, depending on the size. Most shows will allow you to leave and come back if you want to have a bite to eat and return.
● You Can Get Food Samples
With a wedding expo, you can sample food from different caterers and bakeries. Not all shows have tastings and a lot of that has to do with local regulations about sampling. This can be very helpful if you are still looking for a baker for your cake or a caterer! If tastings are not available, while this may be disappointing, talk with the bakeries and caterers at the event and schedule a private tasting.
● You’ll Get Up To Speed With The Trends
Wedding expos are mainly about the trends in the wedding industry and helping couples get more accessible products and services. Be sure to go with a camera to capture all that catches your eyes. Also, bring your great ideas with you! Have you found ideas and inspirations on Instagram, Pinterest, or one of our favorite places WeddingPlanning.Center? Bring them with you either on your phone or printed to share with wedding professionals the look you are hoping to achieve. They won't be able to go into detail with you at the show, but you will get a sense of their style and what they can create for you by showing them your ideas. To go into details you will want to book a consultation.
● The Runway
The runway is one of the primary reasons it’s termed a wedding expo. You will get to see models on the runway showcasing different designs of wedding outfits, which will enable you to see how well the wedding attire can fit your shape. You may never know what style of gown you may like more until you see it on someone! Some wedding shows will have large production fashion shows at specified times and others will have intimate, runway shows where you can see more detail up close. Another growing trend at shows are strolling models all day long, so you can stop and take in fashions at your leisure, do some more wedding planning and shopping and then relax again to take in more styles and designs throughout the day.
● You Get To Win Prizes And Giveaways
Wedding expos have sponsors and exhibitors who typically raffle off prize items that include wedding dresses, accessories, and even honeymoons. Receive a free bridal veil when you are in line early at the International Wedding Festival.

Some boutiques may have offered custom work through their alteration department, but that can get costly. And many designers just didn’t provide the service. But in true Maggie Sottero style, she has created a breakthrough program that offers brides many options to totally customize a gown to be perfectly you.
