After the dates been picked (sometimes the hardest part) you can now do some fun things. No matter where you live, you can always find a bridal expo not to far from your house. Bridal expos are extremely educational and also a chance to win a lot of helpful prizes.
Plenty of vendors show up to these things ready to give away free samples of their products, coupons, and even a honeymoon. Often times, the big prize is a honeymoon to Hawaii or Jamaica.
The one that I attend allowed me to come up with things that I knew I wanted to be at my own wedding as well as what I didn't want. For example, there was a photo booth at this particular bridal expo. I enjoyed the service that they gave me and therefore allows me to picture that being at my own wedding. You can even get ideas for locations, dresses, and transportation. Most bridal expos have fashion shows where you can see different styles of dresses paired with the grooms looks as well. It's an easy way to see what you like and what you don't like without going into every store and trying on all of their dresses.
Bridal Expos (at least all the ones that I have attended) are free so you don't have to worry about spending money in order to gain information about venders. You are allowed to bring as many guests as you want so it's a good way to get your whole bridal party together and just have fun (ice-breaker) or get your soon to be mother-in-law as well as your mother together to hang out in a no pressure zone.
Expos should definitely be considered when first planning your wedding because they eliminate time and stress in just one meeting place.
