About the West Texas Bridal Showcase Expo This is the best day to meet face to face with West Texas' top wedding vendors. See in person all they have to offer, including samples of their designs, photos, displays and new ideas to make your wedding special, various styles of photography, and as we say, "everything from the garter to the getaway" will be under one roof during the one day show. Why Should You Attend? Brides, grooms, quinceneras, and their families can save time, gas, energy, confusion and money by attending the West Texas Bridal Showcase. Shopping for all your wedding needs at this show eliminates the dreaded phone tag, excess effort in trying to get an appointment with a wedding vendor and complicated voice mails. Even email messages are time consuming and delay the immediate response a bride wants and needs. Brides for over 18 years have found that attending this bridal event skips all those wasted steps because they will be meeting the key personnel of each participating company on the show floor. How Can You Save Money? Each participating vendor will be offering prices during the show. Bridal couples will benefit from the wealth of competition at this West Texas event. This in turn creates the best values for the services and products that are offered. Couples are encouraged to comparison shop and come prepared with "budget zones" for each category of products or services they would like to incorporate into their wedding plans. Some of the vendors will offer special "show prices" or discounts for immediate bookings. read more
