Bridal Expo
Ok so you just got engaged, and you’re elated! Every wedding vision you’ve had since childhood is flooding back, the perfect centerpiece, the perfect wedding dress, the perfect everything…now where do you get started?
A great place to start is by attending a bridal expo. It’s the perfect place to get ideas and contact information for all sorts of vendors all in one day without having to do any leg work yourself. You can sample cuisine and cakes, get your make-up done, check out the latest in wedding décor, all while taking in a fashion show or two showcasing the most recent collections in bridal wear.
Recently fifth Avenue Events was at the Elite Edition Dulhan Bridal Expo in Edison NJ. It was an intimate event for all the brides that attended, with some of the most elite vendors in the area showcasing their best work.
Check out some of our pictures from the event and look for us in upcoming expos in the future! Typically there are more bridal expos in the fall for brides getting ready for an upcoming wedding the following year. Though if you do your research you can usually find a show every month or so in most major cities.
