April Bridal Showers
Spring has sprung and we are more than ecstatic about it. Warm weather and blooming tulips have us pinning every floral installation and obsessing over spring wedding color palettes. Seen any gorgeous ones lately? Send them our way!
And even more exciting… Warm weather means outdoor weddings and outdoor events! Stay tuned for some fun things we have in the works, and don’t miss out on our upcoming events for April and May.
Spring really is the best time to “shower” each other with love and excitement for the 2026 wedding season. Whether you’re jumping into weddings every weekend already or you’re taking in the joy of being angeaged, we’re here to make your job easier. We can’t wait to bask in the sunshine with you and bring you all the tips for planning a Utah wedding. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to someone on Team UVB if you ever need anything!
XOXO, Sydnie Poulsen, UVB Editor-in-Chief
Vendor Networking Event | Watercolor Paint Class
Tuesday, April 21, 2026 | 11:00-1:00
Oliver’s Place
125 S 2000 W, Pleasant Grove, UT 84062
Have you ever wanted to take a watercolor class? Well now you can, with all of your favorite wedding vendors. Our class will be led by Faz Creates Co., and Caley’s Catering will be providing the best street tacos ever. We’d come for those alone tbh.
Make sure you get your ticket before they sell out, and we can’t wait to see how talented you are with a paintbrush!
Spring Bridal Show on May 11!
Our spring showcase is next month at the beautiful Walker Farms in Lindon. Come stop by for an excuse to get out and meet your future wedding vendors and pick up free copies of the 2026 magazine. Picture it as a farmer’s market for weddings… You’ll walk away with free stuff, discounts on vendors, and a fun night reveling in the fact that you’re getting married! Our bridal shows are really so much fun for everyone.
Oh, and we may or may not be doing a massive full-wedding giveaway! Get a free ticket here & join us!
Vendors: our booths are almost sold out. If you’re interested in snagging one for all those spring/summer engagements, email Micah for details! team@utahvalleybride.com
April Vendor Meetup
Monday, April 27, 2026 | 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
The Ballpark at America First Square
11111 Ballpark Dr, South Jordan, UT 84009
We’ve been LOVING our vendor meetups! If you haven’t yet had the chance to stop by for these, and if you already have, you’ll definitely want to be at our April one. The Ballpark will have its concessions open for all those classic ballgame snacks (we’ll be jumping on the popcorn and churros), and our team will be there to socialize, connect, and get to know more Utah wedding vendors to expand our community.
All of our vendor meetups are free and very casual, so take this opportunity to network and find new friends!
Marketing Tip of the Month: Stay Consistent During Busy Season 📅✨
As wedding season picks up, don’t let your marketing disappear. This is when consistency matters most.
When you show up regularly, your audience starts to recognize you, trust you, and think of you when they’re ready to book.
Keep it simple:
• Pick one main platform
• Choose two posting days a week you can realistically stick to
• Rotate 1–2 easy content types like real wedding moments, quick tips, or behind-the-scenes
Consistency doesn’t have to be complicated. A simple plan you can repeat will keep your business visible, even during your busiest weeks.
Every second Monday of the month, Carys is hosting business education classes and discussions, free for all Preferred Vendors! Each class is at 11:00 am and the topics will build on each other throughout the year. Our job is to help your business grow and help you reach the clients you dream of. We can’t wait to see you there!
This month’s class is on April 13th.
April: Lead Follow-Up & Booking Process
Hands-On Focus:
- Review response times and emails
Build a consistent follow-up system - Increase booking rate without more leads
Deliverables:
- Inquiry response email template
- Follow-up sequence (2–3 touchpoints)
Lately, Alli has been keeping up with alllllll things reality TV. It’s been wild lately, to say the least. We can’t help but eat up all the Utah drama over here. And if you’re watching too… You know.
And her newest obsession has been the beignets from one of our beloved soda shops: Thirst. Safe to say they’re very worth the hype! What goes better with SLOMW than a dirty soda and a treat?
This month’s vendor feature is Audie and Shaun Ritter from Tie One On! Not only are they an absolute treat to work with, but they are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They really put an emphasis on the experience for couples and grooms, and they want to give the groom his own exciting wedding shopping experience. Tie One On has thousands of options to choose from; you’d be amazed at their selection for every kind of event. We love the Ritters!
Check out this editorial feature on Shaun and Audie from our 2025 Magazine!
