Choosing the right Bridal Show

Hard to believe that the summer is winding down, but that means that Bridal Show season is just heating up!

​Bridal Shows are very common, and very popular events, where brides and grooms from every walk of life can come for all things weddings. There are bridal fashion shows, displaying the latest in dresses, tuxedos, hair and makeup. There are also a ton of industry vendors and insiders, that you can meet face to face in order to find the right vendors for you. Lastly, many companies offer exclusive deals and discounts on their services at these shows, so they are great places to cut a few corners and save a few bucks while planning your big day. 

To many, a bridal show is a bridal show...but this is far from true. There are big differences depending on the size, the location, and also the company behind the show (putting on the show.) The big players in Detroit are Bridal Celebrations, who are responsible for the two biggest shows of the year held at the Palace of Auburn Hills.  Look also for venue-specific shows that are held, such as when Andiamo's-Warren hosts their annual show, or Cherry Creek in Shelby.

Some of the bigger shows offer more competitive deals and more options, but they can be totally crazy...hundreds sometimes thousands of people shuffling through, rummaging for deals. Other shows that are smaller in size and venue can offer you more one- on-one time with the vendors, where you can ask questions and get to know people better.
