Springfield Bridal Show!

If you, your friends or family members are getting married within the next year, you should definitely check out a new bridal show taking place on Sunday, January 27!

The event will be at the Orr Building on the Illinois State Fairgrounds from 12 to 4 p.m., complete with a style show from local formalwear companies from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

Admission to the event is $3.

When I was planning my wedding last year, I attended both the Decatur bridal show and the Springfield Wedding Extravaganza at the Crowne Plaza to get ideas for the Big Day. Decatur's, since it has been up and running for a while now, was much more comprehensive than Springfield's, but hopefully as we get more organized here, more vendors will start attending the shows.

Regardless, both proved to be great resources in learning the names and information of local vendors, what options are out there, gathering ideas about colors and styles, and more. If you're in the area, check it out!

Attending bridal shows are too much fun and the best thing about them is that you can experience whole wedding scene there. Last time the bridal show I attended was at best Los Angeles event venues and being there was truly a great fun with friends.
