It’s that time of year again for all of you who are newly engaged. Yup, that’s right. It’s wedding fair time! January and February are super busy months for wedding shows. Here’s a short list of upcoming bridal-inspired events in Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary.

Bridal Fairs can be a lot of fun but they can also be a little overwhelming! Be prepared to spend a few hours wandering around and checking out all of the vendors, you never know what you might find! There will be lots of draws to enter, so do yourself a favour and print up some labels ahead of time with your name, wedding date and e-mail address on them so you aren’t spending all of your time filling out forms. The best time to talk to vendors is during the fashion show since you aren’t competing with as many people for their attention and they’ll be able to spend more time with you. Have fun!!
If you know of other winter/spring wedding shows, please let me know!
The weather was just fabulous with a little bit of cloud cover for the ceremony in the park. After the ceremony we stayed around in the park for some family photos and few of the wedding party before heading over to the most amazing building in Red Deer, which just so happened to be home to an accounting firm. I love finding unique locations, and I’m willing to bet that Maria and Kevin were the first to have their wedding photos at that gorgeous building. Lucky we were there and they were so nice to let us come inside when the sky darkened and Red Deer was pummeled with hail! After the hail let up, we ended the photos at the old train bridge before going to the reception to grab some details at the Black Knight Inn. Luckily, the crazy weather passed quickly so the drive back to Edmonton in anticipation the next days’ wedding went smoothly.
