The wedding may be happening but the bridal show to prepare for it is cancelled. Organizers for the Grand Rapids Bridal Show decided to cancel this years expo due to the pandemic. 

The event was slated for January 15 and 16 but organizers decided to focus on connecting brides with vendors through their web-site. They have also been working on making the web-site more dynamic with a modern look. Brides are encouraged to register on the web-site to be eligible for door prizes and coupons found only on the web-site.
