New England Bridal Show: Andover Country Club

The show itself was kind of same old same old at this point.  Mostly the same wedding vendors were there and I didn't win anything.  Classic Tuxedo tried to suck me into talk me into making an appointment to look at their store until I told them, “I already did and rented from you, thanks!”  They laughed an gave me a  thumbs up. 

I saw the photographer’s studio that I want for my wedding was represented, and both wedding florists that are located right near me that I’ll probably be choosing from. 

For refreshments the Andover Country Club served…some mashed potatoes. And for dessert:  Bananas Foster.  Meh.   As for the wedding cakes, one bakery’s cake was a nightmare (visually TERRIBLE, and just meh in terms of taste) but the other was not bad.   

The only new vendor that stood out was the ice sculpture from Brilliant Ice Sculpture.  Wow.  I'm not talking some cheesy swan or something.  This thing was a block of ice with stuff frozen inside of it all artistic like, like martini glasses and strawberries and flowers.  And a chute that you can pour your drink down, with a place to put your glass in and catch the drink as it swirls down the chute.  Amazing!  At $200 I don't think it's an expense I need to be taking on for my summer wedding, but if I'd won one in the raffle I sure wouldn't have said no!
