Be\u00a0sure to stop by our booth to say hi!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: karla; font-size: 12pt;\">We know a bridal show can be overwhelming, especially due to COVID-19, so take advantage of our years of experience with this list of dos and don\u2019ts, which will ensure you have the best experience possible!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: karla; font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: ephorigenic; color: #cf2026; font-size: 24pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DO\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: karla; font-size: 18pt;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">purchase your tickets online.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: karla;\">This year, due to COVID-19 precautions, ALL tickets will be sold online. You cannot buy tickets at the door. General admission price is $7. You must choose an entrance time, as well (by the half hour). Admission is limited to parties of 4 or less. All tickets are non-refundable. There will be no more than 200 attendees at a time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: karla; font-size: 24pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #cf2026; font-family: ephorigenic;\">DON\u2019T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">go in blind.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: karla;\">It\u2019s a good idea to do some research beforehand. If you already have some vendors in mind,\u00a0check the exhibitor list\u00a0(right side of the page) to see if they\u2019ll be there. List your must-see booths and cross them off as you visit them to ensure you hit each one.\u00a0Remember that traffic is one way this year so please take your time and move in the right direction. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: karla; font-size: 24pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: ephorigenic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #cf2026;\">DO<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: karla;\"><i>\u00a0 purchase the mystery bride swag bag. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: karla;\">Please take your temperature before attending the event and stay home if you are experiencing a fever or flu-like symptoms. Also, please stay home if you are not feeling well or have been in contact with someone who has shown symptoms of COVID-19. Today\u2019s Bride will also temperature screen attendees prior to entrance to the show. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: karla;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #cf2026; font-family: ephorigenic;\">DON\u2019T<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> attend if you\u2019re not feeling well.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: karla;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: karla; font-size: 12pt;\">You\u2019re most likely not going to find everything you need at one show. But keep in mind that even if you don\u2019t find a single vendor, at least you\u2019ll have gotten some ideas and inspiration for what you want or do not want. And if you happen to forget something, don\u2019t sweat it! You can always follow up with either the show or the vendor and get the information later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: karla; font-size: 24pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #cf2026; font-family: ephorigenic;\">DO<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">bring a close friend or family member.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: karla;\">Bring a trusted advisor or two to help you navigate the show.
