I went to a Bridal Show on Saturday. It was held at the Convention Center in downtown Portland. It was a very busy show. When you first walk in there are tons of booths to choose from all lined up. From wedding cake tastings to photography everyone that plays a role in weddings is there. I had a really good time and I learned a lot of information about all different vendors. I was one of the first people in to the show and the nice part about that was there were hardly any lines to wait in. I was able to have full conversations with all of the vendors of my choice. I was also able to try many different kinds of cakes, chocolate covered strawberries and even cheesecakes!

The best part about the event is the fashion show. They have all different shapes and sizes of girls modeling all of the latest and greatest wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses and tuxedos. All of the models walk down the catwalk to all different types of music and props. It is really neat to see all of the girls in the dresses and gives all the brides lots of good ideas for when they go to look at dresses. In the show there is different scenes and each scene has its own theme and vendors.

The other thing that I love about the Bridal Show is all of the prizes you can sign up to win as a new bride and all of the free goodies you get to take away from the show. At each booth you either get a business card, a bridal magazine or some form of information about each vendor. This is great information to have when you are planning a wedding!

If you are engaged to get married I reccomend you check out a Bridal Show near you!

There are so many choices when it comes to bridal gowns! How do you even know where to start? When it comes to your wedding gown it is one of the most important decisions you will make for your big day!

The first thing to remember is that there are so many styles of gowns to choose from and if one style does not flatter your figure then there are always other styles that will! No matter what shape or size you are your perfect gown is out there waiting for you to find it!

The next thing to remember is to have your budget planned out before you start going wedding dress shopping. Once you know how much money you have to spend on your dress, you do not have to waste your time trying on dresses that you can not afford. Always stick to your budget when trying on dresses and then you will not have the problem of falling in love with a dress you have to leave at the store!

The color of the dress is another factor. When ever you are trying on dresses make sure to try on every color. I know that every girl dreams of a white wedding dress but you would be surprised by how good diamond white and ivory look on some people!

Good luck in finding the perfect dress! I hope this gets you off to a good start!
