Does anybody know when and where the next bridal show will be? I would love to go and see what the vendors have to offer. Do you know if you have to pay for all of them? I have seen a few bridal expos that you have to buy tickets to in advance for $25 dollars a piece. I personally think that is a little much. Especially if I want to bring mom and MOH. Does anyone know of any that don't cost? What are the best ones to see?
Any help is much appreciated....
