As you begin planning, there are many things to remember and consider \u2013 but take a deep breath. With a little thought and preparation, planning for your wedding day can be an exciting and fun experience!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bridal shows and expos are a great way to acquaint yourself with the local vendors, available venues and hot new trends \u2013 not to mention, they offer a wealth of inspiration! Gainan&#8217;s Flowers is proud to be a part of quite a few coming up!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are a proud sponsor of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.withthisringbridalshow.com\">\u201c<strong>With This Ring\u201d Wedding Fair 2016<\/strong> <\/a>happening<strong>\u00a0Sunday, January 10 <\/strong>at the Holiday Inn Grand Montana Convention Center.

Pre-registering online will help you to make it from parking lot to show floor in record time.<\/li>\n<li>Bring pre-printed labels with your name, address, phone number and email address. Most vendors will offer giveaways and prizes, and labels will save you from writing this information over and over.<\/li>\n<li>Bring your friends, but not all of them! It&#8217;s awesome to have people to bounce ideas off of, but having input from too many sources can be confusing. Take those whose style you trust, and solicit their thoughts.<\/li>\n<li>Take lots of photos of what you love, but make sure that you are also recording which booth the photo is from, so that you can easily reach out to the appropriate vendor if need be.<\/li>\n<li>Bring your calendar, as appointments fill up quickly. If you find what you love, book it before it is gone!<\/li>\n<li>Have fun \u2013 this day is truly special, and you should enjoy it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gainans.com\/events\/\">Gainan&#8217;s Flowers<\/a> is Billings&#8217; premiere bridal flower source, our wedding designs will be showcased throughout the event. <strong>Be sure to attend the Fashion Show <\/strong>\u2013 Gainan&#8217;s is proud to provide the bridal bouquets that the models are carrying, as well as the floral arrangements that decorate the stage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Wedding Fair is January 10, 2016 at 12 noon at the Holiday Inn Grand Montana Convention Center.
