October Bridal Show with the West Michigan Wedding Association

Everything you need to plan your wedding will be on display at the West Michigan Wedding Association October Bridal Show, co-sponsored by 105.3 HotFM.
The show takes place on Oct. 9 and 10 at DeVos Place in downtown Grand Rapids. It will be open to brides and guests from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $7 at the door.

“This Bridal Show is the perfect place to plan your wedding,” says Megan Zonavetch, operations manager. “We will have every vendor imaginable for the bride to see —  from catering to limo services and everything in between.”

Visitors to the show can take a seat and relax at one of the two fashion shows taking place at 4 pm on Saturday and 2 pm on Sunday. The shows will feature the latest styles in wedding dresses, as well as bridesmaid and flower girl dresses from Fantastic Finds Bridal Shop. Male models and formalwear will be provided by Afendoulis Cleaners & Tuxedos. Sound Productions will be doing light and sound for the fashion shows. Show decorations will be provided by Decor Elegance and Design by J.elle.

Make planning your wedding fun and exciting by attending the West Michigan Wedding Association October Bridal Show, Oct. 9-10.
Here are some helpful hints for attending the Bridal Show:
 • Pre-register at wmbridalshow.com. You can bypass long lines at registration and find online coupons for the show. Vendors use pre-registrations as a lead list for offering specials after the show — another way to save money on your wedding.
 • Set up an e-mail address specifically for the wedding. Using this e-mail address at the show prevents spam following the wedding.
 • Pick up a bag on the way in to collect information and coupons. Take time to speak with vendors and ask questions. Write responses and impressions on the vendor’s brochure.
 • Make a day of it. Wear comfortable shoes, watch the fashion show and have lunch.
  • Bring parents, bridesmaids and the groom, all of whom will appreciate the opportunity to add their input. Bring along your checkbook or credit card as many vendors offer day-of-the-show specials.
 • Have fun!
