Bridal Shows Benefit Brides and Grooms

The beginning of 2012 kicks off with several bridal shows in the Fort Wayne area. If you are newly engaged or working on planning your 2012 or 2013 wedding, don’t miss these valuable opportunities.

Of course all bridal shows are not created equally so be sure to mark your calendar with dates and times and be prepared for a good time. Bridal shows include a wide variety of wedding professionals so you may want to attend more than one show in order to meet several vendors in the areas where you need help on your wedding.

Most bridal shows include a fashion show that features attire for your entire wedding party. Some shows may only show bridal and bridesmaids fashions. Either way; be sure to take you camera or I-phone to get pics of the newest styles, colors, and designs.

You’ll be able to check out photographers, caterers, florists, limos, DJs, cake designers, as well as a wide variety of other professionals to help you cream your dream wedding. Be sure to sample sweet treats and menu selections from local caterers and other companies.

Enjoy your bridal show experience and find those professionals who are the best fit for your wedding.

Bridal Tour a Success!

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”).
