We were honored to have been a part of the Dream Weddings Bridal Show and enjoyed meeting new brides and vendors alike. What a turnout! We always feel inspired after a big event like yesterday's bridal show and we would like to welcome new fans to Woodlands Bride! Our goal is to inspire you.
Where to start? The bridal show was filled - we mean filled - with every wedding vendor under the sun. There were amazingly talented photographers and fun photo booths, every kind of caterer, venues galore, chic gift shops + event designers and the best cake you've ever tasted!
We were in wedding heaven as we perused all the floral design booths from College Park Flowers to Rainforest Flowers. We had a little floral perfection in our own booth: Carter's Florist graciously designed a centerpiece for us which brides simply adored. Thanks, Jessica!
We grabbed a meatball (ok, 2 or 3!) from the Buca di Beppo booth perfectly decorated in Italian vintage. Rico's Grill, our favorite Mexican restaurant, was serving up some samples of their catering for brides. We also chatted it up with SpringHill Suites and learned a fun fact: Did you know the hotel chain in The Woodlands is their number one location for the U.S.? We love this hotel and its modern decor!
Cake. Always a hit. Edit of Dream Cakes spoiled us with some yummy samples! They are in our Vendor Guide and on our speed dial. Brides enjoyed sweet samples from Bavarian Cakery, Huddell and Hudson, and Kiss the Cook Cakes. Guests also sampled cupcakes from Gigi's Cupcakes (you couldn't miss their awesome hot pink van!)
Signature EvenTx production gave brides and guests a chance to let loose and enjoy themselves. These guys are totally entertaining and there's no doubt the receptions they host are a ton of fun!
ShutterBooth and The Traveling Photo Booth, among many other photo booths, gave brides a chance to act silly with poses and props. We indulged in the fun, too... We couldn't resist!

The selection of venues at the show is exactly why we love promoting this area. Brides could choose from the beautiful oak tree at Oak Tree Manor in Spring, the country-style venue of Amber Springs in Montgomery, resort-style venues like The Woodlands Resort, one of our featured vendors, as well as venues on the water like Bentwater on Lake Conroe and Waterpoint - a venue brides will be able to tour at our very first Venue Toast and Tour on March 28.
We were so inspired by the event design talent of the ladies at A Memorable Event. This vendor had a few tables set up with different styles for different brides.
We are also inspired by vendors that do it all like A Posh Affair - your one-stop shop for wedding planning! Specialty shops like Zulee's gift shop + invitation design and Sugar Bunch Creations - a candy buffet and fun food catering company - were unique finds at the bridal show.

At last, the photographers. There are so many talented ones in this area, it is hard to choose just one. We could not stop looking at the beautiful work of Maryanne from Memories by Maryanne, one of the vendors in our Vendor Guide. We fell in love with the work of Civic Photos and Fleurish Imagery, and we adored the look of the Singing Hearts Photography booth.
We had some beautiful art in our own booth that totally stole the show. Compliments to Joshua Tyi Photography and Kasey Lynn Photography for the portraits!
