Dresses and Brides "Oh My" - A Bride's Review of the Nashville Bridal Show

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

Today's my birthday so I am trying my best to stay away from the computer and opting for a day at the park, movies, etc.

But, it's perfect timing because today I am welcoming Brandi, an ABG bride, who did a full round-up of her favorites from the bridal show, to offer a bride's perspective. I will return Friday with more of my finds but today and Thursday, check out Brandi's favorites. It was surprising that she found some vendors that I didnt even see! She also spoke with vendors and they are offering specials for ABG readers so be sure to mention ABG if you call them.

Thanks Brandi - great job! I can't wait to start following your blog.

Hello brides, planners, and grooms to be,

I am thrilled to give you a review of the recent bridal show. Who am I - a modern/chic bride. I'm on a Kool-Aid budget with Champagne taste. I happen to be relocating states, getting married and starting a new job in the upcoming months, not to mention taking on a step mother role. My fiance' is prior military and I am an inch away from my 30th birthday. I think I've checked all the boxes of majority of you all out there, so grab a pen and some papers, I've got some HOT!!! finds for you all.

Although I've attended a bridal show before, I was in no way mentally prepared. I should have know something when my neighbor advised me to wear tennis shoes (I rocked flip flops.) There were short brides, tall brides, Second timers, mothers, groom's (I counted about 30,) all there for the same reason as I - bargains! With my Matron of Honor in tow, I proudly put out my BRIDE badge, but not before stopping to get a picture for you guys.

We were greeted with sounds from the Nashville Chamber Players. These guys were great and would make an excellent addition to any cocktail hour, wedding, or reception.

Now a recap of my favorites!
