Why Bridal Shows?

Now that you are in the wedding planning process you will more than likely be hearing about a variety of wedding related events. Since face to face interaction with your future wedding professionals is so important in making your selections, we highly recommend attending all quality wedding events.  We also don't want you to be disappointed if your expectations are not met, so here  is a reference guide to the different types of events. You can find  a list of upcoming events you may want to attend  on our event calendar page.

Bridal Show, Bridal Fairs, Bridal Expo:  This is typically the larger in scope of the possible wedding events you can attend to find the wedding professionals, products and services you will need.  The largest in Las Vegas is The Bridal Spectacular held at Cashman Center twice a year. A quality event of this type will generally have approximately 150 or more vendors for you to meet with and will be held in a large convention center.

Hotel Boutique Bridal Expo:  This is generally a smaller bridal show with between 70 and 100 vendors held in a banquet room of a hotel. You will still find plenty of professionals to talk to and ask those important questions to help you make wise decisions.

Venue Open House: Many of our Las Vegas wedding venues hold open houses once or twice a year so that you can come and see their facility as it would look on your wedding day and meet with their preferred vendors. This is a great opportunity to compare venues and the individualized services they can provide you with.  Plus you get to see the building, landscaping, parking and other physical features of the venue. Typically in addition to the venue you will meet with up to 20 of their preferred vendors.

Retailer Open House: This is an event designed to introduce you to a bridal registry department of a retail store or possibly a photographers studio or a floral studio. They will often invite 20 or less preferred vendors to also be there to meet  you.

Bridal Trunk Show:  This is all about fashion!  Many of the local bridal shops will hold trunk shows at their locations and feature the latest gowns from a particular designer.

So get busy, Las Vegas weddings start with The Bridal Spectacular, don't miss the next one and also plan to attend as many open house events as possible so you can shop and compare!
