Anyone go to a bridal show today?

I'm so bummed.  I got called into work this morning. I was planning on going to a few of the bridal shows around since there were so many.  But of course, 2 people called out sick today and that means I have to cover because unlike those 2 idiot coworkers i wouldnt leave my boss hanging.  I didnt get out of work until 4 so i completely missed the bridal shows.  This post may have just turned into a rant about irresponsible coworkers who ruined my day because of their hangovers.  But anyways back to my question, did any knotties go to any bridal shows.  I know Cascade, Society Room and Villa Rosa were having shows.  My mom and i planned on first going to Cascade and then the Society Room or VIlla Rosa.  I'd appreciate a quick overview so i know what i missed.  Thanks Ladies

    Oh that sucks, I'm so sorry!

    If it makes you feel better, I was thinking about going to one of the three, but I had car trouble.  Irresponsible co-workers SUCK!!!

    I went to the Society Room.  I haven't been to an expo and my wedding is in 2 months,  but I thought it would be fun since my shower is there next Sunday. It was fun :) A few florists,  cakes by donna,  kim's confections (YUM!) a few bands,  a sushi station, (YUM!)  Powerstation, afterhours entertaiment.  Anything in particular you were hoping to see?

    I modeled at the fashion show at Villa Rosa today. I walked around quickly- I can say that the food was Awesome!!!!!!!! Vendor wise, I'm not really sure who was there (other than Something Blue)- after the show I grabbed some food and left.

    Sorry to hear you weren't able to make any of them =(

    thanks for the info.  I was interested in the food, florist and starting to look into invitations now.  wow cakes by donna was everywhere then.

    I want to one at the Doubletree in Tarrytown and noticed quite a few empty booths.  Apparently the economy is hurting a lot of vendors, though you'd never guess it by the prices and random extras everyone else was offering!

    I also modeled in the one at Villa Rosa. Here' some pics:



    Ditto Melissa.. the food was awesome!  I sampled 3 different cake shops too! Yum! I had a great time with the girls who were there. I hope we can all do it again soon. 

    OP: I'm sorry you had to work. I'm sure there will be more soon. There have been so many lately.

    I went to the society room (my venue).  it was pretty good.  i was happy to be able to sample some cakes (by donna), and meet some DJs.  the florists looked pretty good, too. 

    *edit* sorry got distracted while i was posting, lol.  I'd say it was pretty small.  There were the 2 cake vendors, but only donna brought actual cake.  kims cottage confections just had sample fake cakes.  there were probably 3 or 4 florists, 1 table design (linens) company), sushi company, cappuchino company, maybe like 3 photogs, 3 djs, 2 bands, a tux company in rocky hill.  and then there were some random jewelry companies.  i think thats about it.

    overall it was good for me because i wanted to see my venue again! and get an idea for my decor, etc.
