Wedding Shows

These are a brilliant day out with your bridesmaid or your Mum. Most Mums will love it!

Now you've subscribed to a local magazine you'll know all about both your local fairs and the national ones. The local ones are lovely for a day out and often are held in potential venues, very good opportunity to have a little nose around without feeling hassled to commit.

I have to say though the National Wedding Show in London was amazing. Definitely worth the trip up to the City. For those who aren't a fan of the tube etc it really is very easy to and did seem to be the quieter of the Tube lines that were used so wasn't that stressful. For those with an iphone download the tube planner app-very useful.

Lucky for me my Mum had brought VIP tickets for my birthday. These were great, you had the option at time of booking to reserve seats for the Catwalk show-recommended and packed! Also you were given a glass of bubbly and a goody box, full of nice samples. There was also a dedicated seating area, very handy as the place was so full.

I cannot say enough how important it is to get there early! By about lunch time it was too crowded and became a bit less enjoyable. Another thing to bear in mind is the dress stands often run with appointments to try items on. So get to the dresses early, make your appointment to  maybe go back and try what may well be the dress on and then carry on browsing.

Another mistake made by me which resulted in me grumpily trying to kill time at the Bluewater wedding show when I had already been there a couple of hours!
