Uncon Bridal Con is a place where unique engaged couples can find unique wedding professionals to bring their non-traditional wedding to life. Yes, it is a bridal show, but there's also a magazine (get yours here!) that gives greater voice to our community of non-basic and non-dull lovers to further find their big day inspiration.
For engaged couples, wedding planning is like finding your new favorite song. When that song comes out, you love it, so much so, you play it constantly. Until there becomes a moment where you're sick of it and never want to play it again. The wedding industry is riddled with many played out songs, trends and fads that can initially grab your attention until you realize the undesirable path it takes you down. And more often than not you end up sacrificing your style and/or direction in order to check the block to appease friends or family. But isn't Uncon Bridal Con another trend in the alternative wedding lineup? We may be a bit biased, but we think not. The reason it isn't is because it's not a matter of what Uncon is, it's more of what Uncon is about!
The concept of Uncon is not a defiance to conformity for the sake of being different, nor is Uncon about putting couples into culturally driven categorical boxes. Instead, Uncon exists for couples who realize that their unconventional essence is indefinably unique and that it deserves a box without flaps. Just as every individual person is unique, when two people in love come together for a day of celebrating their differences harmoniously, what would that look like: enter Uncon Bridal Con.
It's true that everything has been done before, but it's also true that the same photo can never be humanly duplicated exactly. Uncon says that you and your lover are that photo that will be new whether people see it or not. Our encouragement for couples is to realize that they are Uncon. Although you may not escape traditional elements on your wedding, it is possible to accomplish your vision despite the odds.
Uncon is more than a bridal showcase once a year; it's a movement designed for lovers to think deeply into how their unique style and design of togetherness can shine through on their wedding day. We hope that you'll join our Uncon movement and that you'll be inspired to break out of that cultural box, jump back in with the flaps open and ride it to the wedding of your dreams!
