WEDDING SHOW: Brides invited

FROM PAGE 1 dress can be a large part of a wedding budget, the wedding show aims to make one’s dream dress more accessible.

“We started this last year and had a huge response,” Multimedia Marketing Director Patty Steele said. “This year, we are looking for wedding dress donations from the last five years.”

The show, emceed by Gary LaRue, will include approximately 25 vendors covering wedding must-haves like venues, catering, officiants and flowers. Many of the vendors have continued to return to the wedding show in order to keep their business local.

Local vendors have been a draw to the show over the years, but Press is excited to bring some new ideas to this year’s show, including a photo booth vendor, Scherer Photo Company.

Steele said, “Not only do we have wide variety of wedding vendors, but we are local and convenient to travel to,” which explains the popularity of the show.

“You don’t have to fight the traffic downtown on these bigger shows to find parking and fight through all the people,” Steele added. “Our vendors keep coming back because they like the quality time with the brides to have conversations about their big day.”
