Bridal Show Fun

Where can you go and listen to DJ’s, see Photographers, Jewelry and Florists, sample some amazing Food and Desserts and check out an Inflatable Irish Pub all in one place? Did I mention there were also women walking around in wedding dresses and lingerie?  Well that was the scene at the Bridal Show and Women’s Fitness and Health Expo at Mohegan Sun Casino last Sunday, February 26th 2017.

We had a booth at the expo and I don’t think I have talked with that many people in one day – ever!  By the end of the day (6am to 5:30pm) I had almost lost my voice and my feet were protesting but it was a great day.  I truly enjoyed being able to talk with so many women who were excited about planning their wedding.  While I have chosen not to do wedding day photography, I love the women’s portraiture I do. Fashion, fitness, generations, pinup, boudoir, I love it all!  I love creating beautiful photographs of a woman that make her feel amazing and like a princess for the day. I am honored to create for her a gift that she can give to her husband on her wedding day.

I can, without a doubt, tell you that Bridal Boudoir is on the top of the list for groom’s gifts.  There were so many women who stopped to talk about setting up session dates and it seems that August and September of 2018 are the hot wedding months.  If you have either of those months picked out for your wedding, don’t wait to get your venues, caterers and photographers booked!!!

One excited bride-to-be stopped by with her mom and we were talking about what’s involved in booking a Bridal Boudoir session.  The mom told me that she had done bridal boudoir 30 years ago when she got married and her husband still has the images and loves them!  How awesome that her daughter wants to do the same and give her husband a gift he will keep and appreciate for years to come.

If you have never been to one of these expos and are planning your wedding, I would definitely suggest checking one out near you.  You can literally go in with a check list of what you need for your dream wedding and find it there.  From your dress and flowers to your reception venue and food, there are people to speak with or book right there on the spot.  You can check out the DJs and amazing photos by a variety of photographers, and talk to the travel agents about booking your honeymoon.  And let’s not forget renting that Inflatable Irish Pub for your next event or backyard wedding as well!

I am already prepping for the next show on April 30,2017 at the Comfort Suites in Norwich, CT from 11am to 3pm.  Although this will be a smaller event, if you are in the area and still working on your list, stop by and say hello.  Engaged couples get in free!

If you’ve dreamed of a day like this for yourself or if there is a special someone in your life who would love this experience, give me a call and we can set up a day to talk about how to make this dream come true!
