    My manager and I went to the Kentucky Bride bridal show today and it was super fun! Found a TON of photographers and a local invitation place that was REALLY nice (and they do letterpress), but my goodness they give you alot of STUFF. Paper and roses and one place was giving away little tiny mesh bags with a stress ball, chapstick and CZ studs! We were overloaded with 2 shopping bags of stuff and they were heavy at the end!

    Plus there was a gun show going on in the convention center downstairs, so that was HILARIOUS. Brides + the country gun crowd= good times all around.

    Glad you had a good experience! The one bridal show I went to was pretty overwhelming--super crowded, with lots of vendors that weren't quite my style. I did get lots of yummy cake samples though!

    The cake samples we tried were kind of dry, but I found 2 or three that I really liked! One had a mango/ginger filling that was to die for!

    I'm glad you had a good time!  I didn't get as much free stuff when I went to the one that I went to.  Did like the free cake though.

    I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Tell me something is it national bridal show weekend or something because there's one going on here too.

    There is one going on here too.  I think the beginning of the year is when they like to have them for people planning to get married in the spring.

    I wish I had some good advice for you other than to bring a pack mule. I seriously don't even want to THINK about how much stuff is in those bags (currently sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor). I think we may have found our caterer there- the tomato dill bisque was amaaaaazing!

    Also, someone was giving out chocolate covered grapes. They are not nearly as bad as they sound.

    I thought of you while I was there, cre. Trying to figure out what your table would look like, lol. There were a couple of event planning booths, it was fun!
