Ah, spring. It’s the season of daffodils and tanning booths, polka-dotted rainboots and dieting. And, of course, it’s wedding season! Brides-to-be looking to get a head start on matrimonial to-dos are welcome to peruse the Cincinnati Wedding Showcase, the mammoth annual gathering in which more than 100 of the wedding industry’s top professionals gather to disseminate trendy, customizable ways to plan your big day.
