Bridal Show Checklist: What You Will Accomplish in Only One Afternoon

Lowcountry Pianist & Company participated in South Carolina’s Hilton Head Bridal Show
on Sunday, hosted by Hilton Head Monthly Publication at the beautiful Belfair Club.
It was an amazing event and, as always, we had an incredible time
​sharing music and meeting newly engaged couples.

With every incredible bridal show we participate in, I ​wish I had attended a show when planning my own wedding. I strongly believe they are a must do for six primary reasons. ​
​You will…

​✔ Increase Your Efficiency

Although exciting, planning a wedding can certainly be time-consuming due to all the decisions you need to make for your big day! Bridal shows provide you the opportunity to meet many local vendors in one day. Professional photographers, caterers, musicians, florists, venues, DJ’s, and more are all in one location! Also meeting potential members of your wedding team in person truly makes a huge difference!

​✔ Receive Giveaways

Many vendors have freebies available for you! We have seen vendors with free food samples, short massages, make-up and hair trials, travel toiletries, and more. Additionally, many vendors offer discounts to couples who book services at the show. Lowcountry Pianist & Company always holds a drawing for a $100, $75, and $50 gift certificate to use toward wedding music!

​​✔ Learn About the Latest Trends

​When researching online, sometimes couples have difficulty deciding what is current for weddings, especially in their own region.

​Bridal shows allow you to experience the most modern trends from professionals...

tasting cakes...
seeing photographs...
touching linen options...
smelling floral arrangements...

... and listening to live music from professional musicians like Lowcountry Pianist & Company.

​​✔ Be Inspired in a Creative Environment

​Bridal shows are buzzing with excitement and creativity! It is almost like an in-person Pinterest experience. Your wheels will turn and you will go home with new and beautiful ideas! I have often received feedback from couples who stated, “We don’t personally know professional musicians so we hadn’t even thought of how much live music would enhance our ceremony. We are so happy we got to meet you and listen to you!”

​​✔ Invest Your Money Wisely

​With an average of $5-$15 for a ticket to attend a bridal show, the vendors you will meet, the giveaways you will receive, and the new ideas you’ll discover make it well worth the investment.

​When it comes to planning your wedding, you will get more "bang for your buck" by visiting a bridal show!

​
​✔ Have Fun with Your Friends, Fiancé, and Family

Finally, bridal shows are simply fun! You are in a room with other newly engaged couples, bridal parties, and family -- there is so much joy! As a vendor, I always leave in a positive mood and am immediately looking forward to the next show!

Happy Wedding Planning, Everyone!
