Bridal Show Tips
As the fall bridal show season rolls around I thought I'd post a few tips for those of you who will be hitting the bridal show circuit. Now I'm not an expert, but as someone who has attended a bridal show my tips are based on that.
First decide why you are attending the bridal show?
-Because you are looking to book vendors
-Because you like free pens
-Because you like free stuff
-Because you want some ideas on what the latest tips and trends are in the wedding industry
-Because you like bridal fashion shows
-Because you like to sample cakes and other delights
-You want to involve your groom in your wedding plans and can co-arse him with "free" stuff and "food"
-You want a day out with your mom, the "moms", your MOH or your bridesmaids
Do some research before you go...
-Locate your local bridal show check out the internet, listen to the radio etc. http://www.bridalshowstoday.com/, http://www.eventemporium.ca/
-Check out which vendors will be there (usually found on their website)
-Check out the vendors website to see if you are interested in them
-Write a list of which booth they are at and be sure to visit them
-Ensure you pick up some of their promotional items and speak with a people regarding their services.
-Do they book consultations at these shows, might not hurt to schedule some time to ensure you can speak with someone directly.
Other advice...
-Wear comfy shoes and clothes (like running shoes & comfy pants)
-Bring a tote bag as you get lots of goodies
-If it is a big show then make sure you check out the map, where your vendors booths are and create a plan, make sure you stop by the local cake vendor mmmm.... for some extra energy.
-Arrive with plenty of time to check out the vendors & fashion shows
-Ensure you check references, ask questions, are they certified or belong to any professional associations, view THEIR portfolio (ensure it is their own work and not from the internet) before booking vendors
-Provide them with your e-mail address if you want to receive additional promotions, tips, hints etc for planning your wedding. You can always unsubscribe later when you no longer require this information.
-Hit the ballots at the booths to try and win free stuff
Most of all have a great time and make a day of it, this is supposed to be fun after all!!!

Robin's egg blue-A perfect spring wedding theme
Blue Orchid 
Robin's Egg Favour from Beau-Coup
Photo from The Knot
Pair Robin's Egg Blue with coral, royal blue, purple or key lime green. And in keeping with the "robins egg" why not go with a bird theme. Bird cage veil, feather accents on your centrepieces, a bird in a cage invitation, tiny birds as your cake topper.
