Wayside Inn Bridal Show March 21, 2010

So my fiance Matt and I went to the Longfellow Wayside Inn in Sudbury, MA this past weekend for a bridal show. We were so excited to be going because we have never been inside any of the buildings and we were intrigued to see what the inside of the Wayside Inn looked like. We checked in and received our bag to put all the information and samples that we would be getting from the vendors. So we walked into the main area of the inn and was told which areas were for the bridal event. So we got out the camera and prepared to ask a lot of questions to vendors.

So first off, I have to tell you the Wayside Inn is absoultely beautiful and very romantic and it made me get even more into the wedding spirit :-) Our first stop was with the company The Frugal Flower, who had set up a beautiful table display of different flowers and how a head table for the wedding party would look. It was absolutely breathtaking I took several pictures (see below)










As we were walking around we saw several girls in different corners of the rooms wearing wedding dresses and the dresses were gorgeous! So many beautiful designs, beading, and lace I wish I could take them all home but alas out of my price range but nice to get ideas for whichever wedding dress I do decide to wear.






I have to say one of my favorite parts of the bridal event was seeing all the amazing flower centerpieces and displays. I did find a few spring centerpieces that I liked including some really beautiful purple arrangements, I absoultely love flowers! I definitely have some ideas for what kinds of centerpieces I would like on my tables.


Then we stopped over at Bella Cakes, which is based out of Marlboro, MA to enjoy some cupcake cake samples and we tried two different choices. The first sample was a buttercream cupcake with raseberry filling and it was delicious! Then the second sample , which I liked but Matt was not loving it was an espersso buttercream with pineapple filling. It had a very unique taste and I enjoyed how creamy and smooth the frosting tasted as I ate the cupcake. I also got a picture of their display cake that they brought and all I can say is Holy Coconut!



Overall it was a great bridal show, we didn't attend the fashion show because it was too crowded in the church where they were hosting it. We picked up some great information for our wedding and we even got discount coupons even thought our wedding is not until 2011. If you have the chance to attended this bridal show the next time they host it, I strongly recommended that you go it will be worth every penny.

Next time I will be discussing spring wedding colors and which ones I've decided to go with for my wedding!

Happy Weddings!
