WEDDING & BRIDAL EXPOS – YAY OR NAY?

Why attend a bridal expo?

Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, with countless details to arrange and decisions to make. One of the best ways to simplify the process is by attending a bridal expo. A wedding expo or venue showcase brings together top wedding vendors. This gives you the chance to explore options, meet suppliers, and gain inspiration—all in one convenient location. In addition, wedding venues will often showcase using their preferred suppliers. It’s always important to know you’re speaking with reputable companies.

At a wedding expo, you’ll find everything from wedding gowns and florists to photo booths, caterers, entertainment, and décor specialists. It’s the perfect opportunity to compare services, ask questions, and chat to business owners in person. Many exhibitors offer samples and live demonstrations. It’s definitely one of the best ways to take our photo booths for a spin prior to your wedding! We’ve even had our customer come to an expo dressed to the nines ready to take photos in the booth for their save the dates!

One of the biggest advantages of attending a bridal expo is the chance to try before you buy. If you’re considering a photo booth for your reception, you can test different backdrops, props, and photo styles to find the perfect fit for your wedding theme. Seeing how our booths operate in real time allows you to understand the multiple entertainment experiences and how it enhances your guests’ memories of your wedding.

Where to find bridal expos in your area

Wedding venue websites and Facebook pages are great sources for wedding expos and showcases. Wedding suppliers commonly post on their socials when they’re going to be attending an expo or showcase. Follow your considered suppliers on social media and keep an eye on their ‘Events’ page for upcoming locations. Google will also be your friend – just search for ‘Bridal Expo Your City’.

Last but not least, attending a bridal expo not only makes wedding planning easier but also ensures you’re making informed choices. Meeting vendors face-to-face helps build trust and gives you confidence in your buying decisions. After all, who’s the face behind the website who will be delivering the first-hand service on the day? Whether you’re newly engaged or finalising last-minute details, a bridal expo is the ultimate resource to bring your wedding vision to life.

Bridal Expo Tips

  • Be prepared with a tote bag or backpack for all the information and samples
  • Take plenty of water – you’re going to get a dry mouth from a lot of talking!
  • Take a notebook or be prepared to take notes in your phone for any ideas
  • Be prepared to make booking decision on the day in regards to any expo specials
  • Wear comfortable shoes
  • If you’re planning on trying on gowns, wear clothes that are easy to get in and out of
  • Book in your Mum, bridesmaids or significant other for moral support on the day!

Farm Vigano Wedding for Eamon & Alyssa

MELBOURNE WEDDING

Farm Vigano Wedding

If you’re on the wedding venue hunt in Melbourne, make sure you add Farm Vigano to your list. First of all, you have exclusive use of the venue and all their gorgeous spaces. Seat up to 120 guests including your dance floor inside and 160 guests outside. Farm Vigano have experienced coordinators on hand to keep a close eye on all the details and ensure a stress-free day. What more could any Melbourne wedding couple want?! In the Booth Melbourne West has been boothing at Farm Vigano for many years. You won’t be disappointed with their amazing service!  

Farm Vigano Italian Inspired Wedding

Eamon and Alyssa’s wedding was everything a wedding should be: relaxed, fun and with wonderful food. Our lovely couple were blessed with gorgeous early Autumn weather for their Farm Vigano wedding. March is truly one of our favourite months for a Melbourne wedding. You can hit two birds with one stone by beating the heat and cold all in one!

Alyssa made the most gorgeous bride.  Her flowing locks and flower crown paired beautifully with her classic gown with a daring split. And don’t get us started on those green shoes! Be it a favourite colour or favourite flower, make sure you incorporate those little touches into your special day. Eamon was equally handsome in his classic suit. Alyssa and Eamon opted not to have a bridal party which added to the relaxed vibe of their day with our stunning couple truly the stars of the show.

This wedding proves why heart shaped sunglasses aren’t going anywhere as photo booth props! They make such a fun gift for guests to enjoy for the night and take home. In fact, we often find a pair of gifted sunnies keeping watch on their pile of photo booth prints at the end of the night. A few white paint-style pens on each guest table will set off the creativity. It’s always fun to see what guests have come up with in the booth!

Timeless Print Design

Eamon and Alyssa chose our super cute ‘Just Married’ print template. This design is dear to our hearts as it’s been popular since the very first days of In the Booth! There’s something so simple and sweet about it, just like our beautiful couple. Guests got stuck right into the photo both as the frivolities progressed into the evening. We were also all heart-eyes for Eamon and Alyssa’s wedding cake that carried through their Australiana florals for the day.

Thanks so much for having us guys! Your wedding day was a dream.

Let’s look at some guest book ideas that will ensure your family can enjoy the memories for many years to come.
