The Show

I have never in my life seen so many treats! The bridal expo was filled with booths of all types, even teeth whitening and Realtors, but my favorite were the ones with treats. Booths from hotels and catering companies had the most amazing ones, but even the dress shops had chocolate!

I went to the expo, which was surprisingly empty last night, and talked to every dress shop there. Every one had amazing dresses and I wish I was getting married again! Alysse's Bridal and Formal in Orem, American Fork, and Las Vegas actually had a dozen live models in their "modest" designs. These cute teenagers had their hair and make-up done and stood there smiling in their amazing gowns.

Some of the other great shops and vendors there included:

Mary's Bridal of Holladay, Utah
Danielle's Bridal Salon of Holladay, Utah
Memorable Funktions, an amazing wedding planner for events in California, Nevada, Florida, and Utah

Hopefully it wasn't a total bust. It was definitely educational for how the wedding industry is functioning in this economy. I made a couple of good contacts but all but one of them wanted to follow-up with me, rather than the other way around. Fingers crossed!
