Though this tough economic environment has reduced the amount some couples can spend on their special day, there are couple who can afford an expensive wedding (due to savings, parents, etc.). For these couples (or for couples who would like to see the luxury wedding trends), luxury bridal shows are the place to be to learn what goes into a luxury wedding!

While most luxury bridal shows offer the same features as a traditional bridal show, it is access to vendors and the ability to learn the latest bridal fashions that makes a difference. These luxury shows cover the typical aspects of a wedding, including ceremony area, live music, and ballroom dancing. Guests can sample dishes from leading caterers in a true wedding-reception environment and tables are usually set by the finest florists, designers, and tableware companies.

In NYC, a company named 4PM Events is hosting its annual luxury bridal show -The Wedding Salon on October 22 in Manhattan at the Prince George Ballroom. At this “million dollar wedding” showcase, over 50 of New York’s high-end bridal vendors – David Tutera, Sylvia Weinstock Cakes, Tiffany & Co. jewelry, and Oscar de la Renta just to name a few. Be sure to check it out if you are planning you special day and tell them Planaganza sent you!
