Bridal Showcase

Yesterday I attended my first bridal show at George Mason. I had my entourage with me -- my mom, sister, aunt, and cousin. However, I was the lucky one and got to wear the "hand her the various information/price sheets" (heart-shaped "bride to be") pin. Thanks to my sister and cousin, I didn't have to carry too much of the stuff I was collecting.

It was definitely an experience. We started making our rounds of the various vendors of catering companies, bakeries, florists, photographers, deejays, videographers, travel agents, etc. It's unbelievable how crowded it was early on... I was starting to get claustrophobic. We tasted a lot of cakes, but nothing really wowed me. I think the next time I go, I will have Chris come with me. It would be nice to have his input on some of the vendors i.e. there were some pretty neat things that photographers were doing with wedding albums now.

We saw one fashion show and they showcased this one designer, who's dresses were non-traditional. Seriously, I don't know what bride would even consider wearing a dress that was see-through then again maybe if I were Lil' Kim or a porn star... might be a different story ;-)

I'm not sure if this bridal show was of much help to me since we are having a destination wedding in Williamsburg. Most of the vendors were from the DC Metro Area. I think there's a show coming up in Williamsburg if my wedding mags are correct, so we will have to check that one out.
