More good stuff from the Wedding Salon

I don’t know if it is being female or just what it is about the dresses but I absolutely love the dresses for weddings. As being one of the most important days of a girls life the care that goes in to picking just the right dress should be taken even if you don’t think your what some refer to as a girlie girl you need to enjoy getting your wedding dress and please don’t settle. I once had a bride put her dress on for the wedding day and say to the room at large “my god I look like a linebacker” these are not the feelings you should have about how you look on your special day. Picking out a wedding dress can be a very exhausting experience being that there are many styles and shapes to select from as you will see below just a few examples that were at the show. I urge you and it will sound funny but do not settle on the dress till it talks to you and says “YES I am the ONE” you will be over joyed then to wear that gown on your special day. I have had the pleasure of seeing this many times and the joy a bride has on her face because she knows she looks and feels beautiful is breath taken to photograph.

Some Brides say that the dress was or is the corner stone to the wedding I dont know about that but I suppose it could be true.

The details on the gowns can be romantic or fun depending on your taste.




Todays bride has so many choices to choose from that you are sure to find that perfect dress for your own body style but be open to stepping out of the box your dress might be not what your expecting and maybe a surprise to you. Remember it is your day and you should get what you want on your day it is as my old friend Cary Shapiro would say the one day you can be truly selfish and have just the way you want it after all it is your and your fiances wedding and no one else’s we are all there to just share in your joy of this wonderful portion of your life.

Wedding Salon Chicago

I had the pleasure of being a part of the Wedding Salon Chicago Show it was one of the most amazing events I have ever participated in Tatiana Byron really has a spectacular vision on how a bridal show should go. I highly encourage those planning a wedding or event to attend you will be pleasantly surprised and come away with wonderful ideas.

I my self was amazed by the different event companies and what they put together for the show one that I will showcase here today is The Heffernan Morgan Design Company http://www.HMdesigns.com I had the pleasure of meeting Erin McDonald and his design team and this was the outcome of there creative thinking.

They also set up a table arrangement slightly different then the standard round which many times certain locations would work better with a rectangle design.



I will be posting more images from this show as the show photographer it was awesome because we got to meet a lot of great services and are able to post about them here so that those of you that missed some of the vendors may be able to find them.
