Which is lucky for us, whether we&#8217;re natives, transplants, or traveling from afar to have a destination wedding in New Mexico. With a venue to match every vibe, troves of dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectweddingguide.com\/wedding-vendors\/\">local wedding professionals<\/a>, and completely unparalleled landscapes to surround your ceremony, you really can&#8217;t go wrong with a southwestern wedding here.<\/p>\n<p>But that can also make it bit harder to nail down the details. It&#8217;s much more difficult to choose between twenty talented and innovative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectweddingguide.com\/wedding-vendors\/wedding-flowers-decor\/new-mexico\">local florists<\/a> than it is to choose between five. Especially when almost all of planning a wedding happens online! You can always check the reviews a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectweddingguide.com\/wedding-vendors\/\">wedding professional<\/a> has, but we don&#8217;t blame you if that&#8217;s not enough verification to book them. Plus, good photos can be deceiving and if you&#8217;re choosing between twenty florists, you don&#8217;t want to leave it up to a nice shot on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, when you find a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectweddingguide.com\/wedding-vendors\/\">local wedding professional<\/a>, you can always sit down for a face to face consultation to really get to know their values and talents. For most of us though, trying to schedule meetings on top of our jobs, families, and other responsibilities isn&#8217;t a walk in the park.<\/p>\n<p>You see where we&#8217;re going with this, right?<\/p>\n<p>The obvious answer to the age-old dilemma is this: <em>wedding shows<\/em>! We&#8217;ve already discussed <a href=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.wordpress.com\/2019\/05\/14\/are-wedding-shows-really-worth-it\/\">whether or not wedding shows are worth it<\/a> (hint, they totally are), but with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectweddingguide.com\/events\/the-wedding-gallery--17924\/\">Wedding Gallery<\/a> show right around the corner on August 4th, the real question is &#8212; what makes this show different from the rest?<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-12615 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/27982749_10156221234314114_7243046454168666338_o-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/27982749_10156221234314114_7243046454168666338_o-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/27982749_10156221234314114_7243046454168666338_o-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/27982749_10156221234314114_7243046454168666338_o-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/27982749_10156221234314114_7243046454168666338_o-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/27993073_10156221230569114_9155285466903049624_o\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/27993073_10156221230569114_9155285466903049624_o-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/27993073_10156221230569114_9155285466903049624_o-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/27993073_10156221230569114_9155285466903049624_o-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/27993073_10156221230569114_9155285466903049624_o-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/27907542_10156221230849114_5855249312008284891_o\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/27907542_10156221230849114_5855249312008284891_o-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/27907542_10156221230849114_5855249312008284891_o-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/27907542_10156221230849114_5855249312008284891_o-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/27907542_10156221230849114_5855249312008284891_o-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h4>1.
