Wedding Shows & Events

Craig and Daphne are excited to be participating in TWO wedding shows in September. Look for our fun booth at the :

Tacoma Wedding Expo
September 12 - 13, 2009
Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall
2727 East D Street, Tacoma, WA

Attending the Tacoma Wedding Expo is very helpful in planning your wedding because you can meet with many Seattle wedding professionals all in one location. Bring your girlfriends, mom, and even your fiance and enjoy the day. Many vendors will be giving away items as a promotion of the show, and you can only benefit from these if you attend.

Something Blue:

Russell's - 3305 Monte Villa Parkway

Something Blue- the Premiere Eastside Wedding Event is the exclusive, boutique wedding experience for Eastside Brides and their friends & families. “Something Blue…” brings together the most sophisticated, elegant, and talented Eastside wedding vendors to create an unparalleled wedding event for the Eastside bride-to-be. Unlike most wedding shows that feel like a trade show, “Something Blue…” offers guests exquisite vendors in a non-intimidating, relaxed, social event full of fashion shows, delicious food, creative wedding shopping, door prizes, and more. “Something Blue…” will offer brides a unique experience where they can spend a day out with their girlfriends, moms, and family at a concept event that mixes a social event with wedding vendor shopping. Essentially, brides can leave “Something Blue…” with their entire wedding planned with selected, cream-of-the-crop, Eastside Wedding vendors. “Something Blue…” will highlight and market the talent, quality, and diversity of selected wedding vendors on the Eastside. The goal is to promote and market Eastside vendors in a premiere wedding event for the sophisticated bride-to-be. Tickets can be purchased for $15 at www.brownpapertickets.com, or $20 at the door.

10 tips for attending a bridal show (from the experts at the Tacoma Wedding Expo)

• Wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes. You'll be glad you did.
• Be prepared to register at the door. Be patient! This is well worth it.
• Bring preprinted self-adhesive address labels if you have them. Remember your name, address, phone, email, and wedding date. This will save you time and allow you to sign up for anything you want very quickly.
• Bring a pen and print very clearly when registering for anything.
• Bring your checkbook in case you decide to book services or hold dates with a deposit. Be sure to check on refund policies before giving any money, and read the contract carefully before signing.
• Collect any information you are interested in - take it home to look over again when you have some quiet time.
• If you cannot attend, send someone in your place to register you for prizes and collect information on services you need.
• It is nice if your fianc? attends with you IF he is interested. Many guys attend, so he won't be the only one there!
• Arrive at least one hour prior to the fashion show. Seating is usually first-come first-served and you can use this time to rest your feet.
• Relax and have fun -- this is your wedding.

We look forward to seeing you there!
