“It’s not a Circus, it’s Your Wedding!”

Bridal shows can easily turn into a circus...vendors trying to "out-do" one another and information overload!

Think about the last bridal show you attended. Wedding shows have become sensory overload for many of those involved. The average bride leaves the show with their head spinning and the fallout is even worse. Unfortunately, some of these shows have become such fierce competition to gain your attention that the sole purpose of the show has been forgotten, which is the reality of your wedding.  It’s turned into a lot of glitz and glam, which is not realistic at all for most brides. Big flat screen TV’s, tons of lighting, illuminated furniture and aggressive car salesman approaches to gain your business.

You have to stay focused and realize that this is like going to a car show where the most expensive vehicles are out there in hopes that one person will come along and purchase that six figure car. The “car salesman” is selling you on a lot of expensive pre-fabricated extras. Let’s just say, the sizzle without the steak.

Make a list before you go to the show with your top five needs in order of importance to you and try to stay focused on those vendors.  Once you’ve accomplished your mission, then you can move on to the extras. Don’t be fooled by pushy sales techniques, flashing lights, and expensive set-ups.

The vendors shouldn’t be focused on what they want you to buy, rather what’s important for making your day uniquely yours.
