Bridal Shows - useful or useless?

hmm. i think the shows seem quite good! haven\'t attended any, but the review on the copthorne one seems quite good! eh, surely can find out more about their price packages? anyone here been to the shows actually?

I have! ;D But that\'s sort of a given. If you\'re interested in their price packages, can have a look at our pricelists section. All listed there for you.

To some extent, they are useful. For one, bridal show are usually done up to create the atmosphereo of romance and love. It puts the couple in the right mood. It does gives couples somewhere to start with- some ideas and concepts. I attended The Legends Wedding fair on the 7th May 2006. Perhaps some of you also attended. It was great!..There was a showcase of bridal gowns....1 bridal shop there to sell you their packages. On top of that, there was a great spread of high tea...n0t forgetting door gifts!..All for the price of $18 per couple!...You heard it!...Per couple! Anyway, for myself, Bridal shows ( but i\'ve attended 1 so far only! ) gives me and my fiance concepts and ideas for my wedding early next year. It gies us something to work on.

sorry...forgot to tell u gals and guys that The Legends is at Fort Canning

I think bridal shows can be useful to give you ideas of what you might like for dress, decorations, food and so on. Also they\'re good for you to get some ideas of prices and compare elsewhere. On the other hand, they\'re there to sell services. They do things lavishly and it\'s easy to get caught up in the fairy tale they try to create. I would caution to be sure to keep at least one foot planted in reality.

I would agree. But they make for great sources for ideas at the very least. Just go with an open mind and a nice camera. Take lots of snapshots of the decor and ambience. It'll be a great help when you want to decide how to decorate your wedding venue.

Hi all, Just got to come across tat there is a JB bridal show coming up this weekend 22/23 July'06 @ Hyatt Regency JB and it seems tat the shops participating are the very reputable ones in JB. Not only tat you can get to savour free food catered from Hyatt!! You can check it out at www.johorwedding.com & hope it helps you in your wedding planning!!

If you don't have your hopes up too high you will find at least a source of inspiration at these shows, but your wedding is your special occasion and a special day that only you can design and plan.

Wedding shows is also an occasion where bridal boutiques flaunt their latest collections, hotel lavishes their potential guests with decor and food that more often than not, a couple would reconsider twice ot thrice before shying away. To go to a wedding show for free food (even if its along the way) is not a personal favourite of mine simply because its an occasion where we can be exposed to the latest in wedding trend, be it gown designs, hotel service, staff presentation, etc. it all matters a lot. and like what ninikins mention, it is true wedding shows are a source of inspirations that we can transcend the same or similar elements of their idea and apply for our own wedding day and venue selections when the time arrives to do so.
