Looking for an update on bridal shows? January is host to a number of them.

The Association for Wedding Professionals International is a good resource for finding bridal shows (as well as other wedding related businesses). You can search for bridal shows by geographical location or date.

Our good friends over at Dallas Wedding Planner have some specific 2008 shows listed for Dallas/Ft. Worth brides.

Las Vegas brides can look forward to January 25-26 with Bridal Spectacular.

You can also check out Bridal Show Producers International where they have links for both brides and exhibitors.

Bridal shows are a wonderful way to explore all kinds of wedding services. Be open to suggestions and be closed to anyone who wants to push you into a “right now” deal. Your day is too important to make a hasty decision. Buyer’s remorse + wedding = big regrets. My great-uncle used to tell me - “If you want something, think about it for a day. If you still want it - pay cash!”
