Remember what I told you in a previous blog, when attending bridal shows...make it easy on yourself. Make labels that you can stick on the vendor info sheets that include: your name, grooms name, wedding date, mailing address, e-mail address and phone number. It'll save your hand!

Engaged? Let Bridal Show Season Begin!

Now that you are engaged, have purchased your first bridal magazine and bridal planner...where do you go from here? How about visiting a few bridal shows to see the latest trends in flowers, decor and fashion. I've listed a few of the upcoming Chicagoland bridal shows to assist you on your journey. Oh yeah, one important tip to make things easier on you as you walk the bridal show floor... Since you are going to be asked to list specific information about yourself by the participating vendors, print yourself some labels and avoid all that writing. Information to include - your name, groom's name, wedding date, e-mail address, and mailing address.
