Hop, Skip, and Jump on Over to the Covington Plaza Wedding Walk


by Sara Keltsch of the Monogram Shoppe


Weddings take a great deal of planning and decision making and to help in the process Covington Plaza is hosting a Wedding Walk. Saturday, April 25th from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., the plaza is inviting brides, grooms, mothers and bridal party members to stroll the plaza to gain ideas for their upcoming nuptials.

"The plaza is filled with stores and shops that are filled with bridal items" according to Shelli Young, Property Manager of Covington Plaza. Many of the shops are holding special events that day to aid with the planning. Jophiel is holding a Mother of the Bride fashion show at 11:00 a.m. and Mitchell Books will have a book signing at 2:00 p.m. by Michael Essany, author of Groomology 101: How to avoid Brideszilla. The Monogram Shoppe is holding a Trunk Show to showcase all of the options for Bridesmaids and Groomsmen's gifts.

While walking the plaza, you will find wonderful ideas for you hair and make up at Merle Norman, Corner House, L Spa Modern and Woodhouse Spa. Opus 24, Taj Mahal, Yen Ching and Covington Bar and Grill would be the perfect place for Wedding Showers, Bachelor Parties, Bridal Luncheons or the Rehearsal Dinner. Andrew Davis has the Tuxes for your wedding party. Symmetry and Susan's have the clothes for your honeymoon. Get Fit for the big Day at Anytime Fitness. The Bead Source can make your jewelry or provide the beads for you to do it yourself. The Monogram Shoppe is a one stop Shoppe for your wedding with invitations, wedding accessories, and gifts for the wedding party, favors, and a Bridal Registry. Bradrick at Covington is the place for photography. Honey Baked Hams and Fresh Market are perfect places to get your food for the day after brunch or for a shower. Riegel's is a great shop for gifts for the men in the wedding party. Senator Lugar's office has prepared a booklet outlining all the things you need to do after the big day.

Many of the shops are offering specials and door prized that day. Covington Plaza will be drawing for a $100 gift card to be used at any of the participating shops. Each Bride will receive a card when they register. As you enjoy Covington Plaza, you will get your card stamped at each store and then leave them at the last shop to be entered in the drawing.

The Covington Plaza Wedding Walk will also feature some other wedding venders. Ceruti's Catering will be on hand as well as Elegant Cakes by Carolyn. Lillian Rose will be featuring flowers. Music will be provided by Megasound. The Wedding Place will be able to answer your questions about wedding gowns. The Fort Wayne Chocolate Fountain will be in attendance with their fountain.
