 American Candy Stand Cupcakes exhibited at a bridal expo in Adelaide.

These shows aren’t for the faint hearted, so here’s 7 hints for making your way through them!

  1. Pack water and lots of it- the halls will get hot with the masses of people
  2. Take labels pre printed with your name & address to save you handwriting onto all those forms you want to fill out
  3. Consider skipping the fashion parade or going to a later one and talking to suppliers while the parade is running. It’s quieter and you can get a good look at their stalls
  4. Gather as much information as you can so you can sift through it at home rather than trying to make decisions in the crowds.
  5. Wear comfortable shoes!
  6. Have a giggle- there are some weird and wonderful things at these expos, so take it easy, be relaxed and have a giggle or two. Don’t forget to try the samples while you’re at it!
  7. Stop for coffee breaks! You’ll need it to unwind and regroup.
