Bridal shows are a great opportunity to check out local wedding vendors, like photographers, DJ's, caterers, videographers, etc. In organizing your big day, a bridal show can be a great place to start. Here are some tips to get the most out of attending a bridal show.
1. Find a show in your area. If you're in the Northwest Arkansas, River Valley Arkansas, Southeastern Okalahoma, or Southwestern Missouri areas, NWABride Premier Showcase is your stop on January 15, 2011 at the Holiday Inn Convention Center, Springdale, Arkansas.
2. Look for ticket venues or purchase tickets online. Our show's website http://www.nwabride.net/ will have the option of purchasing advance tickets online starting mid-December. There will also be a list of locations to purchase advance tickets (and get a head start meeting some local vendors as well). Of course if you don't want the advance option, there are tickets available at the door.
3. Prepare for the bridal show. Make a list of the types of vendors you need to visit (reception location, tent rental, DJ, hotels for out-of-town guests, etc). Also, be sure to bring pens, your checkbook (for booking deposits), self-adhesive address labels of your contact information, and a tote bag to keep brochures, pamplets, and other vendor information in. 
4. Once you arrive, plan your attack. Look over the list of exhibitors, make notes of ones you want to visit, and schedule plenty time for yourself to browse ideas there you might not have thought of (make-up the big day, teeth whitening, reception table decorations, etc.). Don't forget the fashion show at the end of the day as well. It's a chance to see current dress trends, how dress styles look with the tux, and possible flower arrangements.
