Cornwall & Area Bridal Show

I am very busy almost single-handedly planning and organizing Cornwall & Area's 8th Annual Bridal Show! The Show is being held next Sunday, February 28th from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Cornwall Civic Complex and will feature some of Cornwall & Area's finest Wedding professionals. If you're getting married, this is the place to be!

There's a lot to do when planning a Bridal Show as big as this one and not only am I busy planning the Floor Plan and layout of the room, I've had to deal with the advertising, marketing, securing the exhibitors, forms, payments, invoicing and tons of registration emails! Then, to top it all off, I still have Goodie Bags to pack for each bride, a list of Exhibitors to make for each bride and Volunteers to line-up! And to think, only 6 more days to do it all!

Consider this Show your one-stop-shop to help you plan the Wedding of your dreams! Similar to bigger shows held in bigger cities, we feature exhibitors from many fields of service such as photographers, DJ's, invitations, limousines, etc. and we are not exclusive so you will definitely find more than one exhibitor featuring a particular product or service.

Admission is FREE, yes, that's right, FREE but by invitation only so if you're getting married, you definitely need to contact me. Brides can also bring one guest for free. AND, if you're having trouble deciding on only one person, you can bring more if you want - we'll just charge you $3 per person at the Door.

We're excited to be giving away a free limousine ride to the Show courtesy of Royalty Limousine Service. The draw will be held on Tuesday, February 22nd from all brides who have registered by midnight on Monday, February 21st so make sure you register by tomorrow if you want to win that ride! If not, you can still register all week long up until Saturday. If you only find out about this Show at the last minute, well, that's o.k. too - just show up at the door on Feb. 28th and you'll be let in. (however, do expect to wait a little longer in line while we prepare your registration).

A lot of people are asking why we don't have a Fashion Show again this year... Well, first of all, have you ever PLANNED a Fashion Show? It's one thing to sit in the audience but a whole other thing to actually be involved in the planning and let me tell you, it's a LOT of work! You need to involve music, choreography, jewelry, flowers, hair, make-up, models, prep time, a runway, veils, tiaras, shoes, lots of clothing (gowns, lingerie, formal wear, etc., etc.). And then there's the routine, timing, script, etc... So, we only have our Fashion Show every five years. Our next Fashion Show will be held at our 10th Annual Show being held in 2012 - it will be a Grand Extravaganza no doubt since it will commemorate our 10th Annual Show!

If you're interested in our Show, please contact me to register by email (carol@3dc.ca), by phone (613-932-4812) or by website (www.3dc.ca/bridalshow2010.html). Looking forward to seeing you at Cornwall & Area's 8th Annual Bridal Show!
