Bridal Tour a Success!

The Bridal Academy Sponsors (The Wedding Place, The Monogram Shoppe, and Megasound) featured the very first “Bridal Academy Tour” on February 28^th. A big “thank you” to all of the 2010 and 2011 brides and their guests for being part of the this inaugural event. The best part is that the tour  was chock-full with bridal education, store tours, sweet treats and lunch, and a limo journey thru Downtown Fort Wayne.

 

The event was an enormous success with brides already asking the next tour dates. This sensational time was made possible with  help  from many Bridal Academy Supporters including the New Shoe of a Different Color, Club Car Limo, One of a Kind Events , Andy Pauquette Photography, Fort Wayne Chocolate Fountain, Elegant Cakes by Carolyn, Lillian Rose, Hampton Inn FW-Southwest, Merle Norman, Bob Mutton Rental, and Orchard Ridge Country Club. The brides certainly enjoyed wedding planning seminars, sweet delights, helpful wedding-prep literature, awesome bridal bags full of special gifts, and much more.

 

Due to the demand for an encore tour, the Sponsors are working on the next Bridal Academy Tour for 2010. Details will be available as soon as the date and plans are finalized. Check out the Bridal Academy site at www.bridalacademyfw.blogspot.com for information on this upcoming tour event as well as the next two spring 2010 sessions of Bridal Academy (for 3-18-10 entitled “Brides Choice” and the “don’t miss” wrap up on 4-8-10 titled “Bridal Pampering”).
