I'd always heard about these Bridal Expo shows and that they are a good way to see the work of lots of different vendors all at one location. So, despite visions of crazy bridzilla's running around in my head, I decided to go and check one out this past weekend.
Most of the Chicago area ones seem to be out in the 'burbs, which I am not overly familiar with. My sister graciously agreed to go with me, which turned out to be a good thing. We managed to miss a couple of turns and couldn't make our way back to where we were trying to go. Luckily, my sister called her husband and he gave us directions from where we were.
Once we got there, we saw that it was really pretty small. I was expecting more vendors. It only took us about 30 minutes to get through them all. I suppose if I stopped and spoke with all of them, it would take longer. We looked at a few photographers and I took some info on a possible DJ. But, that was about it. We sat through the fashion show, which really involved a lot of talking by the emcee's and not as many dresses as I was hoping for. And,I didn't really most of the one's they showed, anyway. The only ones that I did like were by Justin Alexander. He seems like he actually has a good selection of dresses that aren't strapless. When I start dress shopping, I think I'll try to find a salon that sells some of his designs.
