Inside the 2026 WedPlan Winter Show: Inspiration, Style, & Planning

The 2026 WedPlan Winter Wedding Show was nothing short of inspiring! Our two-day event at the Alliant Energy Center Exhibition Hall was packed with wedding inspiration, nearly 200 incredible vendors, stunning scapes, trend-forward ideas, delicious bites and sips, interactive moments, and so much more. From newly engaged couples to those putting final details in place, it was beautiful to see so many love stories beginning their next chapter all in one place.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the vendors, designers, planners, and partners who brought their creativity to life, and to the couples and guests who spent their weekend planning alongside us. This event is only possible because of the passion and collaboration within our local wedding industry, and we’re so proud to be part of it.

Next Steps for Couples

If you attended the show, now is the perfect time to follow up with the vendors you connected with. Review your notes, revisit booths and scapes that stood out, and start scheduling consultations with your favorites. Booking your core vendor team early—especially planners, photographers, venues, and caterers—can make the rest of the planning process feel smoother and more enjoyable.

Use the inspiration you gathered to refine your vision, ask thoughtful questions, and take confident next steps toward creating a day that feels truly like you.
