August Bridal Events: StudioWed Open House, Trunk Shows, Bridal Shows + More

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

August is a great month for Nashville brides!  Believe me, there are more wedding finds beyond the big bridal shows.  In fact, many times, the smaller more intimate bridal events will give you a one-on-one opportunity to converse with local pros and really assess their service/product.  Brides always tell me that they prefer the big shows for ideas but the boutique bridal events (like the ones below) allow them to shop at their own pace and find great vendors.

Here's my rundown of not-to-miss, August bridal events. Visit our bridal event calendar for details on all of the events below:

Open House

August 10: StudioWed Open House -  Meet Our Photographers

StudioWed is hosting a photographer open house on August 10th. Engaged couples will not only meet top photographers, but will also receive a couple photo made by one of the photographers that night! Also, if you attend the open house and then book one of their photographers by August 24th, you will receive a free session from the booked photographer (i.e. engagement, bridal portraits, etc).

Brides’ Night Out - Dessert Ideas and Floral Advice

Thursday, June 10, 2010

In this last installment of our Brides' Night Out video advice series, we're happy to share flower and dessert ideas.  If you've missed any of our wedding advice series, start with last week's advice on kids at weddings.

Thanks so much to AndyCam Weddings for providing us with the clips; thanks to the wonderful vendors who presented at Brides' Night Out (Dulce Desserts, Music City Tents & Events, Fabu, b. Hughes Bridal and Signature Events) and to the brides who asked questions that most brides want to know.

Kicking things off with wise advice from pastry chef and cake maker diva, Juanita of Dulce Desserts - "Are dessert buffets common?"

Karen Kaforey of Signature Events Inc. takes on the next question - "How accepted is it to choose non-traditional flower colors?"
