Bridal Show

 

Yesterday we were at the Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show at the Benton Convention Center.  We were surrounded by great vendors and great brides!  We had a great time meeting brides and their family and friends!  We noticed a lot of brides are planning further in advance.  One reason is that a lot of brides and grooms are paying for their own wedding so they are saving money for a longer period of time.  Most of the brides we met have some type of idea of how they want their wedding day to be but they are unsure about the small details.  That is why were are here to help.
There are no rules when it comes to planning your wedding.  The brides we met yesterday had many great ideas.  One bride we met asked what colors she should use for a winter wedding, she didn't want to go with dark colors because that doesn't reflect her personality.  We suggested she choose colors that are fresh and inviting such as ice blue, mint green, or silver.  She loved this idea and was glad she didn't have to go with dark colors.
Other brides were concerned with their budgets and wanted to know if they could afford a wedding planner for a small wedding.  We gladly told them that we do large elaborate wedding or small intimate weddings.  We believe all brides should have a wedding planner so we have packages for all budgets.  We had a great time yesterday and here are a few pictures from the bridal show!

Preparing for Bridal Shows

This Sunday we will be at the Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show in Winston-Salem.  We are very excited to meet new brides and potential clients.  Our main goal is to get to know brides on a personal level.  We believe we must know our bride before we can start helping them plan their wedding day.  We want to hear what our brides want from us.  At the bridal show that is exactly what we will be doing.. listening to brides!

We have spent a lot of time preparing for the bridal show.  Not only have we been working on tablescapes and gathering information to give to our brides.  But most of our planning has been bride focused.  We understand that bridal shows can be very overwhelming so we are going to make sure that the bride has a pleasurable experience as soon as she steps into our booth!
