I missed this last year, going this year. Hailed as the Alternative Bride Show, it’s a staged wedding that features vendors working as they would at any wedding. There’s also cake, and food, great music and it looks like it’s going to be a great time.
Tickets: $25
The Deals:

Bridechilla – Somewhere along the road, someone may accuse you of being a Bridezilla. Nope. Grab this t-shirt from Save the Date podcast and tell the world that you’re good, you’re chill and whatever it is, it’s handled. And, BONUS, in varying styles and colors, too. Only $22. I’m pushing for one for grooms. Grooms are usually known to be chill, but there are a couple that are just CHILL, you know?

Alfred Angelo – It’s that time. Their 2016 is on sale, save $400 off your gown, and 25% off your accessories

David’s Bridal – TWO sales. Select wedding dresses for $99, AND, $200 off of an even larger selection of dresses. As in, that White by Vera Wang  jaw-dropper that was $1,048.20? Is now only $749.99. Oh, no, you are welcome!

Required Reading:

A Practical Wedding: Five Wedding Planning Mistakes You Don’t Have to Make. APW quoted my “Olive Garden Rule” as perspective on why catering costs what it costs. There’s also some other great stuff in there about how to manage your Wedding World expectations (everyone’s favorite thing, right?). APW just came out with a planner, which, yup,  I’m also quoted in –  grab it on Amazon.
