IND Media’s Spring/Summer 2015 Acadiana Bride magazine is out just in time for our 18th annual Bridal Show, slated for Sunday, March 8, at the Cajundome Convention Center.
Whether you’re planning a traditional, boho or beach wedding, the bridal show is an important stop on your to-do list. Running from noon until 4 p.m., it's a day just for brides, with everything you’ll need to plan the wedding of your dreams. Discover the latest trends and meet vendors who can offer advice and set dates for venues.
Brides are invited to spend the day at the event, bring planners and schedule appointments while shopping the show floor. Each year, IND Media's Bridal Show gets bigger and better with more creative ideas and options for attending brides. Booths represented by florists, bakers, caterers and photographers will be accessible, along with ideas for venues, travel, gifts, limos and more. See unique wedding day cake styles and taste samples, while also viewing the latest fashions in wedding gowns, accessories, tuxedos and special occasion dresses.
Vendors in beautifully decorated booths give out free gifts, samples and information packages all day long. Sign up for door prizes, with winners of drawings announced throughout the event. Don’t miss this opportunity to be treated like royalty while gathering ideas for your big day.
Always a highlight, the runway-style Fashion Show features the latest trends, colors, fabric, trim and accessories for the entire wedding party, including brides, mothers, grooms, bridesmaids and flower girls. Expect to see new styles and traditional favorites from vendors like David’s Bridal, Men’s Wearhouse, Blanc Bridal Trois and Deshotel’s Dress Shop during shows at 1, 2 and 3 p.m.
We know from years past that everyone anticipates the drawing for the Grand Prize. This year, Uniglobe Associated Travel has secured a three-night, all-inclusive stay at AM Resorts Secrets Silversands Riviera resort in Cancun, Mexico, including roundtrip airfare for two. A perfect seaside escape, Silversands is an adults-only Unlimited Luxury Resort boasting the largest suites in the Riviera Maya and an array of amenities. Every bride attending the show will be registered to win the prize. The drawing is held at the end of the show around 3:45 p.m., but you do not need to be present to win.
Plan now to attend this special bridal extravaganza presented especially for brides in Acadiana. It’s a day not only for planning, but also fun, fashion, inspiration and the chance to win a free honeymoon. Tickets are available at the Cajundome Box Office the day of the show.
