I truly hope all of you Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio girls have visited a Pat Catan’s store at some point in your life. If you haven’t, what are you waiting for? The store boasts an impressive selection of affordable craft supplies and seasonal decorations. I big puffy heart Pat Catan’s because they always seem to have what I need, and their prices are the best.

And, starting this Saturday, January 31, they are kicking off their annual Bridal Fair at all store locations! It’s not your typical bridal fair with vendors and fashion shows. This one is all about crafting different elements of your wedding.

My mother and I went to their fair last year and, while it’s not a huge event, we walked away with some great ideas and a few freebies.

The staff at Pat Catan’s puts together samples of bouquets, favors, centerpieces and other wedding decor for display and they are available to assist you with what you need. They also show you how you can make items yourself. The best part about their bridal fair is that all of the projects are actually doable! You don’t have to spend hours researching products or guessing what was used to make each project. Everything you need is available for purchase at the store.

The event runs through February 7th, but the day to go is this Saturday, which is Demo Day. (I’m planning on stopping by the Aliquippa store.) You’ll get hands-on instructions for select projects and will see some of the latest crafting trends put to use to complete wedding-related projects.

The real kicker is that brides will receive a coupon good for 10% off all of their wedding supplies! If you are doing any DIY for your wedding, it is well worth it for you to check out this event.

Happy crafting! And let everyone know if you plan on heading to one—perhaps you can meet up!
