Then you can move on to DJs, photographers, videographers, bakers and other vendors. Decide which vendors to contact, and write down any specific questions you have for each one beforehand. Be sure to mention any ideas you have from the pictures or brochures you received at the show. File your second-string choices away for now. You don\u2019t want to toss them just in case your favorite vendors are unavailable or do not meet your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: karla;\"><span style=\"color: #cf2026;\">BEGIN<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>making appointments<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: karla; font-size: 12pt;\">You should set appointments with the vendors you are most serious about right away. While many vendors offer deals that are valid only at the bridal show, some will extend those deals beyond the show. When booking your appointments, be sure to mention that you met them at the bridal show, and ask if these deals are still available. The closer to the show you make your appointment, the better chance of receiving the deal! Also ask if vendors are willing to meet virtually to protect yourselves from unnecessary contact during COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: karla;\"><span style=\"color: #cf2026;\">DON\u2019T\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>forget to check your email.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: karla; font-size: 12pt;\">If you provided your email address to vendors, your inbox is probably filling up.
