Consider the Spirit and Grace of the Bagpipe for Your Wedding

George Balderose, Executive Director of the Balmoral School of Piping, will be at this weekend's Bride Show to talk to brides about using the music of a bagpipe for her wedding. There are many times during your wedding day that a bagpipe could highlight a special moment. Examples to consider, outside in the parking lot as your guests arrive, the processional, a selection during the service, the recessional, outside as guests go through the receiving line, and when the bride and groom enter the reception. George will be on hand to discuss the options and provide you with a sample of his skills. Take in to account what the NY Times has to say about George, ”George is a virtuoso piper” Kudos George!

Why Go to a Bride Show?

January is approaching and along with freezing temperatures and department store white sales, bride show season begins.  If you are in the process of planning a wedding a bride show is an excellent resource.  Being a tech savvy gal, you may wonder why bother going to a show.  You have checked out the wedding websites, read the reviews and "tweets", what more do you need to do?  Think about it this way, the wedding professionals you select will be intimately with you throughout your entire day.  Do you really want to pick a person you have never interacted with.  How else will you find out if they are as dynamic as you hoped, and if they get you and your style, other than good old fashion conversation.  And that is why bride shows are so great!  You have the opportunity to make sure your DJ represents you and the groom with his style and music selections, and make sure the photographer is cool enough to hang with you and your family and your groom and his family for an entire day.  While the web tools are a great way to narrow your search, a bride show is the best place to have access to wedding professionals, allowing you to confidently finalize your decisions. Besides, it is a great excuse to hang out with your friends and family and check out some potentially new ideas.  Food, music, fashion, all under one roof, what more could a girl ask for!
