Over the weekend, on Sunday, Premier Bride hosted its Semi-Annual Chattanooga Bridal Show. Premier Bride is a national bridal magazine and online planning site where you can find local vendor information. This was the first time the Chattanooga show has been in January and July, previously it has been help in January and August. This is a great change for Premier Bride and for Chattanooga, and it will keep getting bigger and better every year.

One of the reasons why the Bridal Show is such a great planning tool is because you have any where between 90-150 vendors at your fingertips. It is a useful time to "window shop" and get a good impression of a potential vendor and what they are all about. Some people fall in love instantly and book a place, while others will talk and agree to set up an official appointment later. The Chattanooga Bridal Show also hosts a fashion show to give you an idea of some of the trends in Bridal wear.

In this year's program, the Top 10 Wedding Tips were included, as decided by Chattanooga Premier Bride. The condensed version is:
1. What is your "bridal style?"
2. Be sure to research the marriage liscense
3. Track the gifts received and thank you notes sent.
4.Pair up your OOT (out of town) guest with someone in town to help out.
5. Know your postage. Take your invitation to the post office
6. Make sure your ring is insured
7. Hire a videographer, even if you dont have it edited until later.
8. Talk to your friends so that you are a happy bachelorette and everyone is on the same page.
9. Do not get a facial the week of, unless you are a regular.
10. Keep in mind prom season when you are reserving your limo!
