Studio 887, Atlanta
1:00 PM

Alright, listen up future brides, grooms, and my fabulous bridal squads, because I’ve got the lowdown on an event you absolutely cannot miss if you’re planning to tie the knot, or even if you just love a good party with free food. The Agnes Scott College Fall Luxury Bridal Expo 2026, sponsored by The Georgia Peach State Bridal Show, is coming through, and honey, it’s going to be everything. We’re talking a whole day dedicated to making your wedding dreams come true, all wrapped up in one gorgeous bow.
You already know this is for my brides and grooms who are ready to dive deep into wedding planning, but it’s also perfect for the entire bridal squad, and honestly, any foodies out there who appreciate some top-tier complimentary treats. Imagine walking into a room buzzing with excitement, where every corner holds a new possibility for your big day. This isn’t just a quick browse, this is a full-on experience designed to inspire and delight, whether you’re just starting to plan or putting the finishing touches on your celebration.
Get ready to be showered with love, literally. Every single bride-to-be walking through those doors will get a complimentary swag bag packed with goodies. But that’s just the beginning. The expo is loaded with give-a-ways and door prizes that are seriously next level. We’re talking a free three-tier wedding cake, a free groom’s cake, and twelve brand new wedding gowns being given away courtesy of The Fairy Godmother’s Closet. Plus, you could win a free men’s tuxedo or suit rental from Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Banks, or a complete rental ensemble from Generation Tux with bonus items.
The prizes don’t stop there. You could also snag a fresh floral wedding bouquet, an engagement photo shoot valued at $850.00, a beautiful branded female wedding robe, a valuable bridal goody box from Mary Kay Dream Believers by Kimberly George, or even a $100.00 Visa Gift Card from The Alpharetta Conventions and Visitors Bureau. They’re also giving away free dance lessons from Atlanta Wedding Dance, a free engagement photo session from Sweetwater Wedding Photography and Videography, and a Pico Willow and Canvas Lunch Basket courtesy of State Farm. And for my food lovers, you could win a free gourmet dinner for you and your fiance and three other couples, $300.00 worth of kitchen cookware from Townecraft, or spin the wheel for a free registry, kitchen tool, or pantry item from Pampered Chef. There will also be complimentary product samples from Dove Beauty Products and Batiste Products, and prizes for the best bridal squad or bridal tribe.
Beyond all the amazing prizes, prepare your taste buds, because the food situation is handled. City Barbeque will be serving complimentary fresh hot brisket right off their carving station, plus complimentary food sides. They’ll also be raffling off several complimentary lunches and dinners. There will be a complimentary mocktail bar, and a spread of complimentary desserts and other sweet treats, including confectionary baked good samples. And while you’re indulging, you can meet professional wedding vendors who are ready to help you plan your big day, try on wedding gowns in private bridal suites, and check out tuxedo fashions from Generation Tux, Men’s Wearhouse, and Jos A. Banks.
For the entertainment, expect musical performances, live entertainment, and a DJ to keep the vibes high for your dancing pleasure. You can even get your photo taken inside a fun, interactive magazine photo booth. Plus, celebrity florist Flower Boy A, who you might have seen on Bravo TV, will be showcasing his fresh floral designs. The venue will have wide vending aisles and free parking, so you can focus on enjoying every moment. This is definitely a fantastic girls’ day out or a super fun solo hang, but it would also make an awesome, relaxed date with your partner to kick off your wedding planning journey.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM. The event is happening at Agnes Scott College, specifically the Julia Thompson Smith Chapel, located at 141 East College Avenue in Decatur, GA 30030. Getting in is free, but you can also snag early VIP admission or free general admission unlimited tickets now, which automatically enters you to win some of those cool, valuable vendor give-a-ways and door prizes. Seriously, don’t sleep on this one.
