Bridal Extravaganza!

Yes, it is that time of year. The holiday season brings many joys, including new engagements! So, with that being said...many CONGRATULATIONS to all the newly engaged couples! This is truly an exciting time!

In planning your wedding, you will need to be informed, and what better way than attending Houston's largest bridal show...The Bridal Extravaganza!

Please be sure to drop by and pay us a visit. We will be at BOOTH # 3057. We are honored to be working together with our fabulous photographer collegue and friends, Danny & Jessica Heinlein of DW Photography.

Tips when attending the show:

We can't stress enough on the following tips we will provide you when visiting the Bridal Extravaganza (and any other bridal trade show)! Be sure to follow these tips to ensure a pleasant and relaxing experience!

• Be sure you have at least three (3) hours, minimum, to spare when visiting the show.
• It makes your experience much simpler having goals in mind. For example, if all you need is a cake vendor, a florist, a DJ or a photographer, then focus on those booths and don't accept promotional items for other vendors you don't need. (This will decrease your "baggage"!)
• Be sure to prepare pre-printed labels, maybe 3 sheets worth, with the following information:

Name of Bride & Groom

An email address (I recommend you create a wedding email address for this purpose only)

Telephone number (your choice of home or cell)

Wedding Date

Number of expected guests to attend

Mailing Address (optional if you'd like to receive mail); personally, I wouldn't provide it on the labels, stick to email! :) Remember, your address will already be provided when you register at the show. Decrease duplicate mailings! :)

• Only distribute your labels to those vendors you ARE interested in. Don't be afraid to say "No" to a vendor who insists you give them a label. It is YOUR choice, not theirs, so if you don't want to provide a label, then don't! :)
• Please wear comfortable shoes for plenty of walking and standing
  
• Bring some snacks or prepare to pay for food in cash. Some food vendors don't offer credit card purchases.
  
• Don't bring in too many people with you; sadly not everyone is into your wedding! :) We usually recommend you have either your parents (mom), your fiance (if he's a willing participant for the show) and your maid of honor or willing bridesmaids.
• If the fiance isn't into the wedding planning, don't force him to go, as it will only make for a long and miserable time. (As vendors, we've witnessed plenty of bored and upset grooms to be, who'd rather just not be there). In the end, it makes for a not so pleasant experience. Worst, your groom will be rushing you! :)
  
• If you are unsure of what services you need, use Saturday as your "window shopping day", review the important vendors that night and go back on Sunday to "close the deal" or "set up consultations".
• Take a backpack or a tote bag to use for your preferred vendor promotional items. Don't just grab a flyer/pamphlet because it was handed to you. If you're not interested in the company, don't take the flyer/pamphlet! Remember, it only adds unnecessary weight. ;)

I hope you have found this information useful!

Please be sure to visit us at BOOTH # 3057 as we will, not just be giving out delicious cake samples, but offering some phenomenal deals, valid that weekend only!

The Bridal Extravaganza does offer separate galleries, allowing vendors to showcase more of their products, including the cake gallery (where we will have a table).
