Wedding Bazaar Turnout!

This past weekend we held a first time ever Wedding Bazaar.

This event was designed for past brides to come in and sell off their wedding dresses or ANYTHING that was wedding related (eg. arches, tulle, ring pillows, flower girl dresses, baskets, vases, etc). This being the first time, there a handful of tables rented for selling items. Then we added six different vendors that were experts in helping brides save money & have fun for their wedding planning. Finally we had a wedding dress wholesaler come in and sell off her sample stock (with prices as low as $100 per dress), as well as 20 other dresses registered from past brides. We had quite a few brides trying dresses on in the on site fitting rooms and a there were some brides that found "the one!"

We had just under 100 people attend and we collected donations to a Charity called Basics for Babies.

Overall, the event was good, now this next one will be bigger & better!

We are going to hold this event possibly twice a year (fall & spring).

Watch for the next one to be in April 2008!

Here's some pictures from the event!
