Our 5th Annual Bridal Expo - March 6th!

It's that time of year again! Our annual bridal expo is just around the corner with only a month to go! I've got a lot of returning vendors and some great new vendors as well. There will of course be a fashion show presented by Bridals by Rochelle and once again we'll have a dance demonstration, this time from Dance & Beyond. As always there will be gorgeous, mouthwatering cakes from Specialty Wedding Cakes and our caterer's are sure to have some amazing delicacies to sample!

New this year, I have a photo booth vendor which I'm really excited about, Images Event Studios has come on board! Brides will have a chance to try it out, see how much fun it can be to have one at their reception and they'll leave with some free photos. I plan on trying it out as well at the end of the day. By that time I'll be ready to just let go and be silly, we all need that from time to time, I can't wait!

In the past I've done spotlight posts on the participating vendors, this year I'll do it a bit differently. In the next few days I'll do a single post providing links to those past vendor spotlights so you can read about them and visit their websites. In the coming weeks, I'll do a spotlight post featuring the vendors that are new this year with links to their websites as well.

Put on Your Dancin' Shoes!

Wow! I don't know what else to say really. Last week I had a private lesson with Pavel at Metronome Ballroom Dance Center and it was fabulous! I had an absolute blast! I actually found Metronome through a friend and I called and spoke to Linda and talked to her about my upcoming expo. She told me to come on in for a dance lesson and set that up with Pavel. I went in and immediately felt comfortable. I was a little nervous about that, I really thought I'd feel a bit awkward but I didn't at all! It was great! Pavel taught me the basics for the Waltz, Foxtrot, Rumba and Swing.

Afterwards I was able to sit down with Pavel & Linda and learn more about their studio. They offer all private lessons which I think is fantastic. I also think it's why the atmosphere is so comfortable and inviting, there is no pressure to "perform" in front of a "class". They also compete in several dance competitions throughout the year which I think is really cool.

Now that I've taken my first ballroom dance lesson, I wish I had done it for my wedding. It's such a great thing to do, not just for the first dance but for the whole night and whenever you're out dancing. It's fun!

I'm also so very happy to say that Metronome Ballroom Dance Center will be a part of my expo this year! They'll be doing a dance demonstration as well and I can't wait to see it! I hope you'll come see it also!
