The Wedding Co.’s eight pointers to successfully travel through a wedding show finding ideas, inspiration and leave feeling overwhelmed to when you catch a glimpse of your beaming fiancé on your wedding day.
1. Before the show, book appointments to meet with exhibitors you’re already curious about to multi-task and ensure one on one attention.
2. Make a plan; write a list of what you need in order of importance, this way you will stay focused and not be overwhelmed.
3. Walk the show once entirely and then return to the booths that really made an impression.
4. Bring valuable second-opinion people.
5. Take advantage of samples and demonstrations, eat the food and get your makeup done to obtain the most authentic experience and information available.
6. Make notes of what inspires you, what you don’t like and the companies that stand out; you are going to end up with a stack of business cards, making notes will help you remember who’s who.
7. Re-visit; find out if you can access the show again without purchasing a second ticket. The second time might be the perfect opportunity to bring your fiancé or mother.
8. Make it an event – treat the person who went with you to lunch out after.
