Members Share Wedding Ideas with Brides

 The Wedding Place, the Monogram Shoppe, and Megasound wrapped up of the spring season of Bridal Academy last week. The session was all about planning for the conclusion of a couples wedding including thank you notes, gown presercation, and reception closers. The best part was of the “Wrap of Your Wedding in Style” session for November 2010 bride, Kathleen was “just the overall topics because I got a lot of awesome ideas.”

Sara Keltsch of the Monogram Shoppe shared helpful tips on writing thank you notes. Areas such as when to write notes, how to phrase note content, as well as new ideas on how to incorporate gift photos and how to select an appropriate thank you note style were covered. She also gave each bride their own personal copy of “Heartfelt Thank You Notes” by Beverly Clark.

 Dawn Quick of the Wedding Place shared photos and the background secrets of wedding gown preservation. She also revealed the “miracles” performed by the Wedding Gown Preservation Company over the years. Quick said that she has seen wedding dresses covered with alcohol, dirt, food, as well as mold and this companies intricate process has removed all of these stains and more. Quick made sure that each bride attending received a $60 coupon in order to preserve their wedding gown after their wedding.

 June Hoffman of Megasound literally wrapped up the Bridal Academy session with ideas on how brides and grooms can leave their wedding reception in style. She said that many past couples have added fireworks or sparklers as a way to close their reception with a “bang.” Hoffman said that she has even had couples escape in horse-drawn carriages and hot air balloons. Hoffman shared a few guest treat ideas for the reception closing including cookies and candy. She made sure that each bride and guest in attendance had plenty of their own sweet treats to enjoy or take home.

 All Bridal Academy attendees and sponsors rounded out the session with a game of matching singers and song titles for grand finale reception songs. The brides got a lot of fun last dance song ideas such as “You Want to Make a Memory,” “Save the Last Dance for Me,” and “So Long, Farewell, Goodbye” as well as the traditional “Last Dance.”

 Two brides won door prizes and all the brides received goodie bags full of wedding planning information, gifts, and wedding savings opportunities. December 2010 bride, Tiffany felt that the topics were “very informative.” As for May 2010 bride, Michelle, she thought that best parts were “the thank you and gown preservation.”

 The Bridal Academy Sponsors are always available for questions and assisting Fort Wayne area brides with creating the wedding of their dreams. They look forward to the next session that is September 2009. If you have any special requests for wedding-related topics for the upcoming fall sessions, just let the Bridal Academy Sponsors know as NOW is planning time for these exciting events.
