An Engagement Bridal Seminar and Showcase
'An Engagement' bridal seminar to feature fresh ideas for the modern bride
Elations Designs will be hosting a bridal seminar on July 25, 2010 at 12 pm at the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Richmond, VA with a special book giveaway from Karen Bussen, author of Simple Stunning Bride.
An Engagement will feature a range of Virginia's premier vendors, classical ensemble performances and mouth-watering cuisine. Guests will also be offered free giveaways such as an autographed copy of Simple Stunning Bride, wedding favors and stationery.
"I think it’s really important for brides to continually be up-to-date with what’s trendy in the wedding world,” Pauline Stephens, event planner and designer of Elations Designs, says. “An Engagement is a great way for local brides to do just that while also becoming acquainted with vendors in the Richmond area."
The event will also feature an expert panel with noted speakers. The event is $10 per person until July 18th and $15.00 thereafter. For more information about the event and to register for An Engagement, please visit www.weddingoverdose.com or call 804.249.7800.
