The Onslow Bridal Gala will be advertised in several bridal publications and media outlets. Event calendar listings and press releases will be distributed to the local media outlets. Contact us to get your free posters to help promote the show. As you know advertising is expensive and with your help, we can keep the booth costs down. We have even lowered our fees in some areas! Each early bird vendor will be able to have the DJ make an announcement about their product or service. Please write down what you wish to have announced and bring it to the show. Please limit your announcement. Remember to dress up your booth for the Best Booth Contest, voted on by the brides. You could win a free booth next year! This is our fourth year and we appreciate your loyalty and assistance! Thank you all so much!

Tips for Brides

When attending bridal shows, there are a few important things to remember. This will save you not only time, but added stress.

1. Wear comfortable clothes & shoes.
2. Don't bring your entire family or wedding party with you - too many opinions. Bring only 1 or 2, someone you trust, your fiancee, your mom, your best friend.
3. Bring a camera.
4. Be sure to eat a little something, don't go on a empty stomach, you may be tempted to fill up at the first food booth.
5. Be sure to talk to lots of vendors, even if at first, you don't see your color or your style. There is no way each vendor can bring all of their stuff. Check out their photos and ask lots of questions.
6. Make labels with your name, address, email & wedding date. Use these to register for door prizes at different vendor booths.
7. Bring a lightweight tote bag including a few zip lock bags. You may want to take home food to taste later.
8. Go through your bag of goodies & information when you get home when it is still fresh in your mind.
9. The cheapest is not always the best - go with the vendors that you feel comfortable with!
10. Have fun & enjoy!
