Time flies. Yes it does. As the Independence ads started inundating me with red, white, & blue, I knew the firecracker stands couldn’t be far behind.

What hit me next is tomorrow is July 1st,  marking the beginning of 2009: Part 2. To our Canadian friends, July 1st is Canada Day (a national holiday) and start of the NHL draft. But I digress…

As a wedding marketer, the calendar change to July should be a prompter for making an assessment of your first-half-2009 accomplishments and your prospects for the balance of the year.

Don’t let the calendar run your business. Take a day or two (not necessarily on the holiday) to step back make mid-year corrections and adjustments.

If you are proactive, the second half of 2009 should be even more productive and prosperous for you.

Sydney Opera House

There are wedding events and bridal shows held in hotels, exhibition centers, single-use venues, arenas and a plethora of other buildings. But it is rare to be able to plan a wedding in an architectural masterpiece such as the Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia.

The event website describes the day as: “… an exclusive seminar showcasing the latest trends, tips and tricks from Australia’s leading wedding partners. Meet leading bridal industry experts with inspiration and ideas to help plan your ultimate wedding day.?”

If you’re a wedding vendor serving Australian brides, it would be wise to investigate the exhibition opportunities before it’s too late.

The United Kingdom wedding market is bursting with opportunities. It’s highly competitive, and potentially highly lucrative.

With the average cost of a wedding now put at an enormous £19,596** (nearly half the average annual salary), the rewards can be high for suppliers who get their marketing right.

One of the foremost exhibiting opportunities is at the UK’s most vibrant series of wedding events:  The National Wedding Shows.

Exhibitors should check the show website for details and remaining exhibiting opportunities.
