Engaged? Make plans for these Bridal and Wedding Shows in Columbus

If you are recently engaged or planning your wedding, you’ll want to attend a couple of Bridal and Wedding Shows in Columbus for inspiration and guidance. 

Why do months worth of research looking for the best venues, florists, wedding cake bakers, DJ’s, photographers, and other wedding service providers when you can meet them and see what they have to offer in one place? 

You’ll get inspiration from Fashion Shows, hair and makeup designer, reception decor, and even Honeymoon destinations.  Most of the shows offer giveaways and door prizes, so you could walk away with some awesome swag.

Bring your fiancé, your mom, or all your friends, and get inspired and excited about your upcoming nuptials!  There’s so rule that you have to be engaged to attend, so if you are hoping or expecting to become engaged soon, you can come too!

I’ve gathered all of the upcoming bridal shows in Columbus, and will add to the list as others are scheduled.  Please drop a line to me at info@columbusonthecheap.com if you know of any others that should be included.
