Why Visit a Connecticut Wedding Show?

There are so many different things to consider when planning a wedding that it can seem overwhelming.  The list that you make at the start can soon get added to and it’s not just the number of jobs that gets longer, you find yourself wondering how you’re going to get everything into your wedding budget.

Going to a wedding show in Connecticut not only focuses you mind in that you can see examples of what you might get, and see what really matters to you in terms of what you really need, but it also means that you get to see local suppliers in the Connecticut area.

Using more local suppliers can work out better for a couple of reasons.  Firstly, the proximity means you can visit them in person to get better customer service, a realistic idea of what you can get, and meet the person you will be dealing with.  Secondly, the closer your supplier is the more you might be able to save in terms of shipping and postage, which means that you can get more for your money.  Lastly, some things you need for your wedding need to be close, such as venues and florists, in order for you to get married in an area where you can be close to your family and friends.
