It's a more intimate setting. We wanted our brides to have a good selection but be able to remember everything they saw. Some of the larger shows are just so overwhelming.

We hope that it will encourage the grooms to come out and take part in the wedding. it will give them a place to relax, but will also put them (in close proximity) to the bride if they need advice.

You'll be able to sample the food the caterers have, which is so important when selecting a caterer for your special day.

Another special thing about our bridal show is that we are incorporating cultural wedding traditions into our activities. Greek, African, Pacific Islander, Jewish, Asian and Hispanic cultures will be showcased, because they are traditions that can be shared by all cultures. You don't have to be a member of the African American community to jump over a broom.

We're setting the show up like a wedding. The fashion show will take place with the brides walking down an aisle; brides want to see what they'll look like down the aisle, not on stage at a fashion show.

After each fashion show, we will also have a fantasy reception in order to showcase the talents of our vendors.
