Inspiration SIDEAS tation LIVE
One of the most exciting aspects of the Twin Cities Bridal Show is the opportunity to see new and creative ways to put the personal, one-of-a-kind touches on your wedding. To help with the planning, we’ve created an innovative attraction called the Inspiration Station; it’s like Pinterest only live.

The Twin Cities Bridal Show spent the last year bringing together the best ideas for you to experience at the show. These ideas, gathered together at pinterest.com/ tcbridal show, are separated in 6 trend-specific categories. You can log on before the show and start pulling ideas for your own Pinterest boards, then watch the elements come to life at the show. The Inspiration Station features 6 window-style displays focusing on fashion, decor, floral, cakes, stationery, and design. The themes include:

THE FASHION SHOW
The Aisle of Style Fashion Show isn’t your traditional bridal fashion show. It’s fun, hip, cutting-edge, high-energy, and inspiring. Sit back and enjoy a multi-media experience as you preview the latest fashions for brides, bridesmaids, and men’s formalwear; everything from tried-and-true famous labels to talented up-and-coming designers. The Aisle of Style is the hot-spot at the show. Designed like high-fashion shows you see on TV (think Victoria’s Secret, Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model), the Aisle of Style is one of the largest and most impressive bridal fashion events in the area, complete with a120-foot catwalk! The concept brings the feel of New York Fashion Week to Minnesota.
Be Social
Bring a pen and your program (see page 5 for detailed fashion descriptions) and take notes regarding your favorite looks from Angelique’s Bridal Salon, Mestads’s Bridal and Formal Wear, The Wedding Shoppe, Luxe Bridal Couture and Savvi Formalwear.

To make the most of your day at the show, here are a few tips: Before attending, visit TCBridalshow.com to research which vendors will be exhibiting and preview the show floor layout to determine where each exhibitor is located. This will help you make the most of your time and better organize your day.

The Twin Cities Bridal Show offers couples the opportunity to win valuable door prizes (some worth thousands of dollars). To make registering easy, bring pre-printed stickers with your wedding date, name, full address, wedding location, email and phone number so that you don’t have to fill out numerous entry slips. If you’re lucky, you may just walk away with a new set of china, free floral arrangements, or even a honeymoon package.
Since most attendees will be attending the fashion show, vendors have more time to talk in-depth when the fashion shows are presented. If you’ve already selected your wedding dress, formalwear and bridesmaids dresses, consider taking this time to talk with the vendors you’re most interested in, when it’s a little more quiet.
If you’ve already selected your wedding colors, ask for swatches and bring them with you to the show. You can share the colors with florists, bakeries, and stationery companies so they have an understanding of your wedding day vision.
The Twin Cities Bridal Show is a great resource for information, but with so many inspiring ideas—and so many great vendors—you might forget who is who. Bring along a notebook, pen, appointment book and calendar, and a list of questions you may have. Snap photos of what you like. The best place to write notes about what you like is on the literature the vendors give you.
Reserve time after the show to go through your information and determine the next step. If you didn’t make appointments at the show, contact your favorite vendors as soon as possible. There could be others looking at the same wedding date.
If you’re going to be out of town during the show, send your mom or a trusted friend/bridesmaid to collect information and register for prizes.
Don’t just take literature from the vendors, use this time to talk to the pros. Think of it as speed dating. See if you could imagine working with them on what is sure to be one of the happiest days of your life.
Agree on a budget before attending the show and bring your checkbook or credit card along. Most vendors require a deposit upon reservation, and many will offer deep discounts for reserving their services at the show. However, don’t feel pressured. Many of these discounts will continue for awhile once the show is over.
When comparing prices and products, keep in mind that you generally get what you pay for. Don’t forget that old adage, “The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.”
The wedding pros want to help you narrow down your options. So try the cake samples, smell the flowers, load up on brochures, enter contests, and leave your name with everyone. When you find the right fit, it’s a win-win for everyone.
