Off to the Wedding Shows

Have you ever gone to one? Last month, I went to the Seattle Wedding Show and Seattle Wedding Expo. One of my best friends is getting married so I went for her and myself to get more information. I met up with Leeching from L Events and we had a great time.

There were tons of photographers, cinematographers, wedding consultants, officiants, florists, bakers, DJs, caterers and musicians. Did I mention that vendors also reduce their prices? Not to mention, the number of prizes to win! 

The vendors are all at one place to cater to you and your needs. You get to meet a number of them, get a better idea of their services and packages, taste and see their products, ask lots of questions, and see if you guys click. This all happens within one or two days.  
Seattle Wedding Show 
400+ vendors
8,000+ attendees

It’s huge! It’s a great place to go to get lots of ideas based on the number of vendors and their high quality of work.

Also, if you want a professional or venue that has won awards and many praises, this is the place for you to go. Top companies, such as The Invisible Hostess, Bamboo Beats and Aria Style, are there to help you with your special day. Also, budding professionals, including those at LightForm Film, are there to work with you. 
Seattle Wedding Expo 
70+ vendors

It’s a smaller wedding show. If you are on a tighter budget, it’s a good place to check out. Many vendors provide quality services and products. Their work ethic and services are top-notch too. Some already have been recognized, such as by King 5’s Best of Western Washington.
Advice 
If you are getting married or know of someone who is, I highly recommend going to a bigger wedding show.  There are tons of inspirations and many vendors to talk to.

  1. These wedding party decoration inspirations are so adorable. I would surely pick some of these ideas for my own wedding party that will be held soon. We have already booked one of our favorite garden wedding venues for the day.
