Just have fun, loosen up, get a glass of wine, and come talk to all the vendors and other brides that will there.

Stay until the end, loop back around and talk with vendors you made a connection with, toward the end it starts to slow down and you can have more quality interactions and also the giveaways happen at the end, and you must be present to win.

Tip 12 is know your date and if possible your venue. That might seem silly, but if you don’t have a date picked out or you aren’t even engaged yet, its hard for vendors to really help you. They wont know if they are available, or if you don’t have a venue they might not travel outside of the area if you choose a destination venue.

Decide your style is tip 11. Are you a DIY bride or someone who wants to pay someone and have less on your plate? Think about this ahead of time so you know what to look for at the expo. You might end up skipping the rental shop booth, the florist booth, and maybe even the photobooth company if those are things you feel confident you can handle on your own to save some money to put elsewhere in the budget.

Having your wedding budget figured out BEFORE the expo is the 10th tip. A wedding budget isn’t just the total dollar amount, it’s the amounts you want to spend on each category. Get this budget calculator from the knot here: https://urlis.net/dhn3vfse

Today is tip number 9! Bring those who are your decision makers with you. Whose opinion to you trust the most? Your mom? Your sister? The two best friends from college? Bring them to help vet the vendors you talk to, they can help you narrow down your choice of florists and DJs when you are overwhelmed with decision making.

Yesterday we talked about comfortable shoes, so you might think today would be comfortable clothes… Kind of… Dress to impress is your eighth tip! The expo has a photographer shooting photos of attendees having fun so you want to look fabulous! PLUS come out and enjoy the after party hosted at The Atrium on Third. Also after the expo you could have a date night with your fiancé or an evening out with the girls!

Tip Seven is to wear comfortable shoes👟, you will be on your feet for 2-3 hours, on a hard concrete floor, and the seating spaces are limited. It is also crowded and January weather so open toed shoes might be a little cold and hurt if your foot got stepped on 😭!

Last post we talked a little about getting into all the giveaways, but tip six is slow down… Take your time and make sure you are patient and wait in line to talk to the vendors that are important to you. More than likely if there is a line at a certain DJs booth, it's either a REALLY GREAT giveaway, or the guy is just so awesome and great at his craft people want to know more about him.

Just like many modern love stories, this love story began on the internet — Bumble to be exact. Both Allie and Alan refused for multiple years to jump on the dating app bandwagon. However, after both moved away from home, Alan got Bumble to surpass boredom, and Allie got Bumble thinking it was worth a shot for love. Allie always told her friends she wouldn’t get Bumble because she, “didn’t want to have to tell her children she met their father on a dating app.” Well, here they are... getting married!
