This show was held at the Colliseum in St. Petersburg. Lots of free food, so come hungry! Great deals on veils as some people bring their products with them. Stay away from the table offering the "free" vacation. We supposedly won a free cruise but they never contacted us. They made sure though that we spent money on their presentation.

Honestly, I haven't printed them up yet but they were an awesome bargain! For $8 total I got invitations and matching place setting cards for about 100 people. The downside is that I will have to use my own ink, but I like being able to design things myself!

They have an excellent selection of fancy dresses at discounted prices. If you are on a budget this is the place to go. Just make sure you bring your bridesmaids with you so they can try on the clothes. I made the mistake of knowing their size and picking out dresses that weren't very flattering.

The Botanical Gardens in Largo have a beautiul rose garden for weddings but the price is outrageous! Around $1000... But if you can afford it go for it! They don't provide anything except for a changing room for the Bride. I did think that was neat. Next door at Heritage Village they have a beautiful antique church as well as a replica antique gazebo for only $250. And they provide chairs and set-up.

My mother and I went to David's Bridal for their famous "$99 Sale!". Of course the first thing they showed us was a catalogue full of expensive beautiful dresses. What was the harm in trying a few on, right? None of them looked the same on me as they did in the pictures and besides they were way out of my price range. I did not like that they made me feel bad for wanting to look at the $99 dresses. They did not have a wide selection on sale but all of the dresses were at least $50 off. We ended up buying a nice $300 dress.

Bonus: They keep giving me free coupons for Shutterfly! I've gotten 2 free photobooks and 12 free Christams cards so far!
