Wedding Showcase!

Went to my first bridal show today... the Oregon Wedding Showcase. It was an interesting experience... not what I was expecting at all. The vendors weren't pushy (which was fantastic!). And there were a LOT of samples and giveaways! Would be great if I won something! =)

There was also a fashion show and about four bridal boutiques were there with sample dresses to try on (at discounted rates). So, I tried on my first wedding dress today! I found some things that I liked... and some that I didn't. I don't think I found THE ONE, but it was nice to try some stuff on finally and get a feel for what looks good on me.

There was also a company there that rented out photo booths... so my mom and I tried it out! =)

ALSO... lol... I got invite lists from both sides of the family today... so we have a solid invite number! After I told both mothers that it would be great if they could weed out which friends/relatives would be happy just to receive an announcement after the fact, our invite number went down by about 30 people! VERY happy about this!

We should get our Save the Dates soon and can mail them out! Woo hoo!

  1. Brittney, Congrats on your engagement! My wife Judy and I would like to thank you for coming to our show this weekend! I'm happy you found it a positive experience, as that is what we strive to provide. We'll be sending out our brides survey later today so you can rate us and our vendors and your experience at the show! It's also a chance to win $50 Gift certificate to Bates Steak House for your response. Again, Thanks for attending (and blogging about us!)
