Bridal Shows - vendors, flyers and giveaways - oh my!

Although it's been nearly two months since my last post, not much has changed weather-wise in Wisconsin. We're buckling down for a predicted 8-10" snow drop tonight, so I thought I would get caught up on my blog. The first month was filled with getting ready for the Madison bridal expo put on January 12-13. It was my first show and I felt that I thoroughly prepared (hey, I am a professional planner, it's expected that I be prepared!) and it paid off. Many great brides stopped by and spoke to us about how a wedding consultant could help them enjoy all the hard work they've already put into their weddings.

Here are some pictures from my booth...

Lots of pink!

At the show, I tried to make my way around and meet vendors, especially those I've never heard of or just never got the chance to reach out to. I've recently had the opportunity meet with a fabulous family-owned photography and videography business and I can't tell you how great they were. Contact me if you want their info!

I'm very happy to have many wonderful couples this year with such varied tastes. We have beautiful tented weddings on their private home property, chic, modern receptions at the Overture Center, and cozy, intimate weddings at favorite restaurants. What a joy that weddings can reflect who you and your fiance truly are and break outside of the stereotypical mold.

I promise it won't be so long before my next post. Stay tuned and happy planning!
