For a first time show in the area, I think that the Bridal Show in Ottumwa yesterday went fairly well. Many vendors booked business, which is the whole reason for a bridal show.
The brides that came seemed to be appreciative of the vendors and what they had to show. The winner of the $2500.00 wedding planning and decorating package was very appreciative. She said that she was excited and seemed genuinely grateful. I love working with brides like that. They seem to "get it."
What is "it?" "IT" is the part of the wedding planning process when a wedding couple understands what a wedding is all about: their love for each other, the day and memories that will be made, the guests and their comfort & enjoyment. It is so exciting to see a couple want to relish in their special day. They don't worry about the hummer limousine, the bar hopping between ceremony and reception, or the endless little favors that clog up the janitor's dustpans. No, this couple understands that their wedding is built of memories of loved ones dancing and laughing. Of shaking hands, hugging guests, and thanking each one for coming to spend their time and day with them. For good food and good music. For decorations that tell a story and create a pleasant touch to the style of the day.
Wedding couples who "get it" make the most beautiful of all brides and grooms. They don't need the fancy trappings; they have each other and their guests. To them---it is a perfect day!
