Congratulations your engaged! Now it’s time to plan your dream wedding. What better way to start than attending the Hawaii Bridal Expo…
Attending the Hawaii Bridal Expo is a fabulous way to gather and shop vendors all in one place. Attending an Expo can be an overwhelming endeavor with the bustling crowd and the many exhibitor booths to check out, a novice can get lost. I remember attending my first trade show and I almost passed out I was so overwhelmed with the crowd and exhibits, I decided I needed a game plan for the next year. So with some good planning you can navigate your way around and enjoy yourself!
- Rsearch the Hawaii Bridal Expo – find out which vendors are going to be exhibiting there and plan on which ones you’ll want to connect with. With this in mind, know which vendors you already have booked and save time skipping over them.
- Create a Wedding email address – A no brainer, this gives you one place to have all your wedding information in one place and not have your regular email inundated with vendor emails after the show.

- Round up your entourage – I suggest two or three people at most ~ your fiancee, mother, sister, maid of honor, or bff. The expo is a buffet of exhibitors and too big of entourage may keep you lingering around when you want to move on to the next.
- Bring Pre-Printed Address Labels – Be sure to include your name, your fiancee’s name, wedding date (if you have one set), mailing address, (wedding) email address, phone number. You can use these for vendors asking for your info and enter to win prizes and special offers.
- Pre-Register for the Hawaii Bridal Expo – you can do that here. www.bridesclub.com there’s even a two-for-one coupon! This way you can avoid having to do so upon arrival and pretty much walk in. And get there early!


- Day of the Expo – Dress to impress but, be comfortable, you can’t walk around in 4” heels for very long so wear comfortable shoes. Guys, wear a button down or polo shirt and jeans. Bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated – yes, they’ll be food available but, bring it yourself you’ll be happy you did. Bring a accordion folder or notebook to organize all the information collected. This way you can follow up efficiently after the expo.
- Bring your camera and take pictures of what you like… this way you’ll remember when you get home.
- Keep your calendar ready – Many exhibitors will want to book consultations with you after the expo.
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions or even ask vendors if they’re running an Expo special.
- Did I mention wear comfortable shoes yet? Oh I did. I’ll remind you here again
- Enjoy the Expo – Make a day of it – Enjoy the sampling, entertainment, and excitement…this is your time after all!
