Indianapolis Monthly Bridal Show

Yep, it’s Bridal Show season!  On Sunday, January 11th 2009 we stopped by the Ritz Charles in Carmel to spend some time at the Indianapolis Monthly Bridal Show. This is not your typical Bridal Show!  There were Ritz Charles staff members walking around serving hor’orderves & champagne!  Andrea & I thought that was a really nice touch!  The entire event was held in one large room… this made it really easy to walk around and see every wedding vendor!  It was great to see some familiar faces like the always friendly people at DC Designers Tux!  Overall, the event was really well organized and the staff was very friendly!  We met many vendors for the first time and got quite a few Vendor Highlight videos to share over the next few months!

Here are a few pictures we took @ the Bridal Show…

  
     

Perfect Wedding Guide – Indianapolis Bridal Show 2009

Today we had the opportunity to attend the Perfect Wedding Guide – Indianapolis Bridal Show 2009!

 

 

The Bridal Show was held at the beautiful Scottish Rite Cathedral in downtown Indianapolis. 

We decided to get there towards the end of the afternoon to make sure we weren’t going to be interrupting any vendors while they were talking to you couples.  We were happy to see that most of the wedding vendors stuck it out until the 4pm tear down time!  But we were definitely in a rush to connect with as many vendors as possible!  

The great people at the Perfect Wedding Guide were kind enough to let us into the show for free!  We had a lot of fun just walking around and getting to chat with many great wedding professionals.  We snapped a few pictures and got some videos we will be sharing over the next couple weeks!

  
    

These are just a few of the over 140 local Indianapolis wedding vendors that were at the Wedding Show.  

The event was extremely well organized.  The team at the Perfect Wedding Guide did an excellent job.  Bridal shows are always a great way to connect with multiple vendors in less time.  It’s important to stop and chat with a variety of vendors before making your decisions.  Without going to a bridal show it would take hours to meet with multiple wedding vendors!  A fun part about this bridal show was seeing the creativity put into some of the booths! We saw a beautiful harp, an actual photo booth, lots of cake samples, DJs and their tuxes, and even a live photography studio!  

Over the next few weeks we will be sharing some 1 minute videos we took of some of the local wedding vendors asking them 1) What’s you business? 2) What sets you apart? 3) What do you enjoy about it?
So, as always… be sure to stop back by!
