A big part of the wedding industry is its vendors. Without the florist or cake decorator, these details are left in the air to plan on your own. In Houston and greater area, several large wedding expos are held in hopes that a bride can leave fully set up for her wedding day. What you can expect are rows of experienced vendors, ready to meet all your desires. If you haven’t thought about attending one, you should reconsider and here’s why. 

Imagine you are at the grocery store, and you have list in hand ready to make this a one and done trip. You get in, get the entire haul done, and get out knowing you have nowhere else to drive but back home. A deep feeling of satisfaction comes over you, knowing that you are prepared for meals, snacks, and midnight trips to the kitchen. Now imagine this same sentiment after having booked all your vendors for the wedding day. Not only that but you snagged some freebies as well! This is probable with many vendors gathered in the same location. There are not only a variety of vendors, but they also come from all over the state, so location is not a concern. 

Anyone can send out an email or send a message, but in this setting, facetime is generally the best time. Part of the experience of getting married is connecting with the people you are going to work with, over cups of coffee and many conversations planning. A relationship is truly developed face to face. At the expo is a great time to make those introductions. Even if you won’t be working with that person directly, you get to shake a hand, and get a feel for what the company is about. There is also plenty of opportunity to ask questions. The best of the best will be present to provide detailed and clear information. 

Does the phrase, “Try it before you buy it” excite you? Expos are a great place to engage all the senses and really get a feel for the product or service you are looking for. Outside of photo and video examples, you can get your hands on things and decide if you even like what you were envisioning. Another exciting feature are the raffles and door prizes! Opportunities galore await you for discounts, customized swag bags or cups, and even free take aways. With expenses adding up, it’s such a great treat to receive.

The most beneficial outcome of attending one of these events is having fun! It’s a low-pressure environment with a room full of people excited to serve you. For some you bring your best friends, others you make it a date and bring your fiancé. Whomever you choose to share the moment with, it’s a great time to reflect on this exciting time in your relationship. Who doesn’t love a great day of shopping?!
