Here come the bridal expos

David's Bridal, and Vera Wang Black is her exclusive line of tuxedos for the Men's Wearhouse. We are also able to show Zac Posen. We've got some really fantastic designers in our show."

"Also, they just need to ask a lot of questions," he said. "The number one thing people ask when they don't know what to ask is, 'How much does this cost?' It's a fair question, but there is so much more to it. Ask a vendor, 'Tell me about your company and what you have to offer me,' and go from there. Find out what unique services the wedding vendors have. Maybe the bakery offers gluten-free or this DJ offers an interactive-style of entertainment." Annie Alleman is a freelance writer.
