The Bridal Sampler Wedding Expo
|
Chicago | Chicago |
Carmichael’s The Bridal Sampler gives brides-to-be the opportunity to do one-stop shopping in a fun-filled, no pressure atmosphere. This is a great opportunity to plan your big day in one place at one time. Unlike the massive shows, The Bridal Sampler scales it down to give you the extra advantage of being able to actually save time when you talk one-on-one with Chicago area wedding vendors. This ensures a great fit prior to setting up the extensive second interview at their location. They also offer several workshops and thousands of dollars in raffles, prizes and give-aways! |

Chicago | Chicago |
Filene’s Basement Chicago Filene’s Basement is perhaps most famous for its annual Bridal Gown Event when brides-to-be can save hundreds, even thousands of dollars on designer wedding gowns. The day of the sale, brides-to-be and their helpers line up early outside of Filene’s Basement. When the doors open, they run full speed towards the racks. In less than 60 seconds, the racks are stripped bare. News reports so often compare it to the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain that the event is now officially called the “Running of the Brides.” Find the gown of your dreams at a cut-rate price! |
