Calling all newly engaged couples—your wedding planning era officially starts here.

The Third Annual My Favorite Bridal Show, hosted by Events By Victoria, is returning on Sunday, February 22, 2026, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most helpful (and fun) stops on the road to “I do.” Whether you’re deep into Pinterest boards or just starting to figure out what a charger plate is, this is one Lake Norman–area event worth putting on your calendar.

Taking place from 11 AM to 2 PM in The Kettle Room at Gibson Mills in Concord, the show brings together more than 60 wedding vendors—from florals and planners to desserts, fashion, and everything in between. Translation: this isn’t a quick lap around a ballroom. It’s a full-on wedding inspiration experience.

Attendees can sample food and desserts, enjoy a curated fashion show, explore vendor displays, and enter prize drawings throughout the afternoon. It’s also a rare chance to actually talk one-on-one with vendors, ask real questions, and compare options without pressure.

Here’s the pro tip couples love: pre-registered couples (admission for two) get in FREE. Otherwise, tickets are just $5 per person at the door. Bring your fiancé, your parents, or even your bridal party—and come prepared. A notebook, printed address labels, and comfy shoes will go a long way.

From swag bags and raffle gifts to a special groom’s gift (yes, they thought of him too), this bridal show balances practical planning with just enough sparkle to keep it exciting.

If you’re planning a 2026 wedding and want real guidance, real vendors, and real inspiration—this is where Lake Norman couples should start. eventsbyvictorias.com
