This one goes out to all our Canadian followers! For more than 25 years, Canada's Bridal Show has been the biggest and most popular bridal show in the country. And with an impressive lineup of exhibitors and features, we totally understand why!

Canada's Bridal Show will take place January 4 - 6, 2013 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, ON. Companies exhibiting include event planners, venues, gown shops and more. But perhaps the most noteworthy feature will be an appearance by "Cake Boss" star Buddy Valastro!

Other highlights include a Mona Richie Bridal Gown Sale, with gowns starting at $200, and the chance to win an all-inclusive dream honeymoon! Sounds pretty great, huh?

So if you'll be in the Toronto area in early January, why not stop by Canada's Bridal Show? At the very least, you're sure to walk away with some really cool wedding favors.

As nice as it would be to attend every tradeshow listed on The Trade Shows Blog, one would need to redeem their frequent flier miles just to visit some of these trade shows.

But then I came across a group of trade shows that thinks globally by acting locally: The Bosco Wedding Expos.

Between October 22, 2012 and March 3, 2013, the Bosco Wedding Expo will be making its rounds to various locations in New York State and Connecticut. The Wedding Expo promises the best in every aspect of your special day - virtually everything from gowns to limousines to even honeymoon accomodations. What may be the best news is advanced ticket sales include a custom imprinted tote bag and a coupon for $100 toward any vendor. 

Not sure where to start? Visit Bosco Wedding Expo's website for a ticket link and a list of vendors by category/date. And scroll below to see a list of dates and locations.

Congratulations! You have confessed your undying love to that special someone and now find yourselves counting down the days until the wedding day.

Those days tick by very quickly though. A year becomes months in the blink of an eye and then days before you even know it. Luckily, there's help...

2012 marks the 11th annual Hartford Bridal Showcase - a very well known showcase that has become the cornerstone of Connecticut and the Tr-State Area for the inside scoop on what's new and stylish in the industry.  The ticket price is a mere $8 for everyone and will have 100's of chefs, DJs, photographers/videographers, florists and much more.
