"Great" bridal expo

Miranda, on November 12, 2017 at 9:08 AM Posted in Planning 0 6

Just a heads up to anyone going to the great bridal expo... we went to it in Houston yesterday and it was TERRIBLE. Barely any vendors, almost all just makeup and timeshare type booths. It may be different from city to city but I figured Houston would be good sized. NO it was a train wreck. My little local bridal show was at least three times the size. It was a small, unorganized room, I was SO embarrassed because I invited my MIL to come up and my MOH... one drove 3 hours and one drove 2 hours for that disaster. It took maybe 30 minutes to walk through. They also didn't even check our tickets so money well spent there. Grrr. I can't warn people enough. No cake vendors, no caterers, no bar, just a water cooler in the corner... no florists, no planners, no decorators... there were a few photographers and the rest were just trying to sell you makeup and hair products. Unless this is in your town and you have free tickets and free time DON'T GO!

    That's so disappointing. I've been wondering where a great place would be to get to get inspiration for our wedding. Is there any good place in Houston or Austin?

    I went to one in my TX city. Population 305,000. It was pretty good. Fashion show, lots of vendors, cakes, photogs, officiants, venues, alcohol, dresses ... in fact I think I saw only 3 makeup people.

    Symone my advice is look for a local show instead of a national one. The one they had in college station was three times the size and had all different types of vendors, caterers, cakes, open bar etc. it was like a huge party it was so much fun! Wish I hadn't wasted my time with that Houston show!
