the huge northern california bridal faire this weekend? Is it worth going to if you went before?

Not sure which bridal faire is this weekend, but I went to a Modern Bridal one back in the summer, and frankly, it was not really my cup of tea.  It also didn't help that there weren't really a ton of vendors there.  Given my experience, I'd be really hesitant to go to another one.However.  That said, there are pros to bridal fairs.  I know one of my friends (the groom actually did the planning!) went to a bridal faire and he found practically alllllll of their vendors there - one stop shop type of deal.  Also, we actually first met the photographer we ended up deciding to go with at the bridal faire I went to; already knowing her personality from our brief meeting then definitely made us much more interested in her than in some of the other photogs whose websites we looked at, AND she gave us a $300 discount for having met here there, which is a nice perk.So.... to sum up, I guess I'm not really helpful haha.  I would say that if it is inexpensive to go and if you keep an open mind about the experience, it might be worth at least checking out, espeeeeecially if you haven't been to one of these things, and especially if you are still looking for vendors.  If you decide to go, I hope it is a good experience for you!

I went to that bridal show in Burlingame in the spring. It was REALLY small (not many vendors) but I got TONS of free stuff! Just be sure to get there early because the room is tiny and it gets super crowded!
