Tips for Attending a Bridal Show

July 29, 2011

We are officially in bridal show season!  The Dallas Bridal Show will be at Dallas Market Hall this weekend.  This is a super exciting time for couples in love… and the bride’s mom, of course!

As you prepare to attend a Bridal Show, there a few things that you should keep in mind:

* Wear comfortable (cute) shoes.  You’ll be on your feet for hours meeting with wedding vendors.  Make sure your feet don’t hinder you from visiting all of your desired booths.

* Register in advance.  Most bridal shows offer coupons and a discounted entry fee for brides who register in advance.

* Register for the giveaways.  Some vendors will be giving away wedding services and favors.  This will help you check off a few items from your bridal to-do list… and save you a bit of money.

* Most vendors will want to follow up after meeting you at a bridal show.  Create a separate email address for wedding vendors to contact you.  This is a great way to keep you organized.

* Pack a few snacks and a bottle of water.  This will help keep you refreshed and energized.

* If you’ve already purchased your wedding gown, you may want to skip the fashion show.  You’ll have a better opportunity of getting to vendors without long lines while everyone else is watching the show.

* Don’t feel obligated to sign any contracts just because a vendor is offering an on the spot discount.  Instead, bring your pocket planner so you can set up initial consultations.  You want to make sure that your wedding vendors are compatible with you and your wedding vision.

* Bring your fiance!  Most soon-to-be brides go to bridal shows with their mom or maid of honor.  It’s great to have that feminine support but even though you’ll have the spotlight for the day, it’s his day too!  Let your honey get in on some of the planning action.  It’ll be a lot more fun than he actually thinks!

* Last but not least, have fun!! Don’t allow yourself to get overwhelmed with information.  After all, planning your wedding is a once in a lifetime event!

Wedding Planning Tips with David Tutera

January 13, 2011

Celebrity event planner David Tutera recently came to Dallas for a speaking engagement.  He spoke to a group of event professionals and brides-to-be at the Adolphus Hotel.  There’s only one word that describes this event planner: Fabulous! I was ecstatic to be spending a few hours getting the inside scoop on his famed reality show “My Fair Wedding” and tips on how to plan the perfect wedding.

Tips from Tutera:

– Pictures last a lifetime! Choose your photographer wisely.  Once the honeymoon is over, your wedding pictures will be your lasting memory.

– Change is good! If you want to keep your guests engaged, be sure to having something new happening at your reception every 30 minutes.  Keep the party going!

– If you want to have a Winter Wonderland Wedding in July, go for it! Don’t get too attached to “seasonal” colors and expectations.

– Be realistic with your budget.  Educate yourself on what things cost.  Set a list of priorities.  Know what you want and where you’re willing to cut back if necessary.

– Guests don’t want to take home random favors.  Make your favors meaningful (and useful) or cut them out altogether.  You can utilize this money in another area of your budget.

– Try something new with the tables at your reception.  X tables are a new trend that’s becoming quite popular.  With this look, tables are set up in the shape of an “X”.  This is a great way to give the room a new look and sense of personal style!

Be sure to catch David Tutera the next time he visits your city. I sure will!

Watch David Tutera on “My Fair Wedding” Sunday nights on We TV at 9pm|8c.

XOXO
